Leave the low pass filter alone for the moment, as it should remain set at 98 Hz, This control will be addressed later. Turn the volume control of the woofer amplifier up or down until the voice sounds correct. Whatever controls you use, turn them up and down only a little at a time. It is easy to turn it up or down too much.
Concentrate on the mid bass regions (as opposed to the very low bass in your recording) to achieve a natural blend. The voice and the music accompaniment should sound as if it were cut from one cloth, not separate.
If the voice sounds “thin” or does not have enough “chest” to its sound, turn the woofers amplifier’s volume up till it does. If you find that turning the volume up creates too much low bass, then it is time to decrease the low pass filter control.

Using the volume control on the servo amplifier’s remote control, set the woofers for a natural and powerful bass sound. Use a symphonic piece of music if you can, or use a natural bass instrument like a
