Setting the THX Subwoofer Limiter or “Bass Peak Level Manager”

To diminish the chance that your subwoofer will overload from the large amount of bass, often present in the LFE channel the system uses a Peak Management circuit which works with the data you supplied during speaker setup to help match the subwoofer output to your specific subwoofer’s capabilities. Please note that the factory default for the BLPM is -14 dB since the capabilities of your specific subwoofer are unknown. In the SP1.7 setup and calibration section above, the final step you should have performed was to set the BLPM for your sub- woofer’s specific capabilities.
