Dynamic Eq; Auto Volume - Bose FREESPACE 4400 Owner's Manual

6.3.8 Dynamic EQ

The Dynamic EQ control panel provides an on/off control to
enable/disable Dynamic Equalization in the current zone.
Dynamic EQ should only be used in either of the following
conditions:
• The system contains extended bass or a FreeSpace
speaker system.
• A user interface is being used to control the volume and no
autotransformers are being used on the loudspeaker line.
When autotransformers are used, the system cannot accu-
rately monitor the output level of the system, and as a result,
cannot provide the appropriate response for the current listen-
ing level.
Factory default settings
Dynamic EQ is set to Off.
Dynamic EQ compensates for a perceived loss of bass response
at low listening levels. Based on the current output level of the
FreeSpace 4400 system, additional bass and high frequency will
be added.
For Dynamic EQ to operate correctly, make sure the hardware
is connected properly:
• An AVM user interface must be connected to the WALL PLATE
input connector.
• The loudspeaker(s) must be directly wired to the ZONE
OUTPUT connector.
