ASUS Xonar DSX
6.6 FlexBass
FlexBass, an advanced bass management and enhancement mechanism, allows
you to select each satellite speaker’s type for optimal sound performance from the
speakers. (Small: common speaker that cannot produce low frequencies; Large:
wide-band speakers that can produce low frequencies well). It comes with an
adjustable crossover frequency for the boundary of the bass signals. FlexBass will
lter out the bass signals from small speaker channels and redirect them all to the
subwoofer or large speakers.

2 Small / Large speaker
option
Select the speaker type connected to the Xonar DSX. If your speaker
type cannot handle low-frequency signals (bass), select “Small”
speaker type. The Xonar DSX will lter out the bass signals and send
them to the subwoofer channel. If the speakers support full-range
signals, you can select the “Large” speaker type.
Note: Usually, low-cost PC 2-channel speakers are small-type
speakers. Refer to the speaker’s specications or consult your
speaker vendor. However, common 2.1 speakers with a subwoofer
should be categorized as large speakers because the subwoofer can
redirect the bass signals inside the two channels to the subwoofer
speaker automatically.

to the subwoofer. The higher the crossover frequency, the more bass
signals will be subtracted.
