Template:Sub1/Sub2 Level Control

Sub1 Sub2

Question

Why have a LEVEL control on the Bose Sub1/Sub2? This can also apply to other subwoofers as well.

Answer

At lower volume, the Equal Loudness contour shows that humans don't perceive bass as well as mid-highs. You can compensate for this by turning up the Sub1/Sub2 LEVEL Control.

Other times bass may seem excessive

• At higher volumes
• Due to boundary effects (proximity to walls and corners)
• On a resonant stage

You can compensate for this by turning down the Sub1/Sub2 LEVEL Control.

Recommended Settings

1. Set the Sub1/Sub2 Level control at 12:00 o'clock.
2. Raise/lower the volume of the L1 Pro32 as required.
3. Adjust the Sub1/Sub2 Level control to balance bass level with the mid-high level from the L1 Pro 32.
