Making your system sound right

The ServoSub 2/12t subwoofer is perfect for use in 2-channel or multi- channel music and video applications. The setup for either is very similar and the goals should be quite the same too. In our opinion, the end goal of adding a high-end subwoofer should be to not “hear” the subwoofer work, but rather to add the appropriate amount of low bass that is currently missing in your system.

When listening to music, the full frequency range of the orchestra or rock band should be reproduced with proper dynamic range and realism, from the lowest notes of a pipe organ to the whack of the timpani or the pluck of the lowest string on a Fender bass. When listening to film soundtracks, the same goals should be sought after so that the results are both realistic and exciting; as the roar of jet planes rumble through your living room and prehistoric creatures shake the earth!

Fine-tuning an audio or video system is an art that takes time and patience. It can be one of the most rewarding learning experiences you will encounter during your pursuit and enjoyment of high-fidelity music or video reproduction

One of the best pieces of advice we can offer is that you take advantage of the ear’s ability to identify similarities in sound. This ability is useful in fine-tuning your system because, if every recording you listen to (or every video you watch) has a similarity of sound (too much or too little of a certain frequency for instance), then you can be fairly certain that you have yet to perfect your setup. Keep at it and remember to enjoy your music and video as you work on perfecting your setup.

One idea that we would like to suggest is that you set the S2/12t’s bass gain controls for music, and use your processor to turn it up or down for home theater. That way, you have a subwoofer that will take care of all your needs.

With proper setup and placement, you can achieve stunning realism, and musically correct and natural bass – not just more bass.
