The solid line shows the phase response, which always drifts only a few degrees if the amplitude is increased.

The PROCESS control determines the processing ratio between the set bass sound colour and the original signal. This results in varying bass sound structures: if you combine high bass amplification on the BASS control with a lower PROCESS value, you get a different bass structure than with a lower bass amplification combined with a higher PROCESS value. Choosing the best solution is a matter of personal taste and also depends on the type of original signal involved.

The control range of the
As the human ear perceives the range between 1 kHz and 3 kHz parti- cularly clearly, at all volumes between 0 and 120 phon it makes sense to adapt this frequency range. You might feel inclined to say "Yes, but I do that with my graphic EQ as well". The main difference is that the graphic EQ really reduces the effective loudness of the frequency, i.e. cuts out the
