Bass Extension
Low frequencies take an exponentially larger
amount of energy to reproduce than high fre-
quencies. That is why the bass extension setting
affects how loud the speaker will respond.
At its lowest setting (-10Hz), the low frequen-
cy range is extended by 10Hz. This will also
reduce the maximum volume that the speaker
can achieve. The default setting of 0Hz limits the
range of low bass while increasing the maximum
volume of the loudspeaker. The +10Hz setting
has the least amount of bass extension but the
loudest volume possible from the loudspeaker.
• -10Hz
(greatest low frequency extension, -5dB
output)
• 0Hz
• +10Hz
(loudest output with least low frequency
extension, +5dB output)
As most professional mixers tend to mix at rela-
tively low volumes (~70-85dB SPL), the greatest
amount of bass extension (-10Hz) can be used.
As you increase the playback volume, you may
need to reduce the amount of bass extension
in order to prevent overdriving the loudspeaker.
Dynaudio engineers have painstakingly created a DSP controller
for these speakers that lets you tailor the sound to your particular
environment. The DSP settings provide precision adjustments that
optimize the speakers for the listening space.
