Boosting the bass sound — D.bass

You can enjoy clear and powerful bass sound. The D-bass function boosts the low frequency signal with a sharper curve than conventional bass boost.

You can hear the bass line more clearly even if the vocal sound is the same volume. You can emphasize and adjust the bass sound easily with the D-bass control. This effect is similar to the one you get when you use an optional subwoofer system.

Moreover, the Digital D-bass*function creates even sharper and more powerful bass sound than Analog D-bass.
