LFE channel - note

Please note that in general the LFE channel should be mixed with +10dB headroom.

If you are not able to boost your LFE monitor output from your console, +10dB gain can be added on your AIR-Base input. Most format encoders / decoders take the LFE boost into account, meaning that you should leave the AIR-Base LFE gain at 0dB when playing back a DTS or DOLBY encoded material on your AIR system. LFE gain is set at 0dB in all factory presets, so if you need to add gain on your AIR Base please adjust this parameter and store the new setting in a user preset location.
