In this case, you can change the phase of bass signal to enhance overall bass response, as well as overall feeling of the music.

1 Press down PHASE.

The bass signal is 180 degree out of phase with the original one.

To resume original bass effect, press •

PHASE again to release the button.

Adjust frequency

You can change LPF (low-pass-filter) frequency from 80Hz to 120Hz.

1 Rotate FREQUENCY to adjust frequency.

Adjust volume

You can change volume from minimum level (0) to maximum level.

1 Rotate VOLUME.

About the protector indicator
