Question
Why have a LEVEL control on the Bose Sub1/Sub2? This can also apply to other subwoofers as well.
Answer
Equal-loudness contours from ISO 226:2003 shown with original ISO standard.
At lower volume, the Equal Loudness contour[1] 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.
At higher volume, the bass may seem excessive. You can compensate for this by turning down the Sub1/Sub2 LEVEL Control.
