Adjusting Bass, Middle, and Treble levels
• You can set Bass, Middle, and Treble levels for each source.
About Supreme
• Technology to extrapolate and supplement with proprietary
algorithm, the high-frequency range that is cut off when
encoding at low bit rate.
Supplementing is optimized by compression format (AAC,
MP3, WMA or WAV) and processed according to bit rate.
The effect is negligible with music that is encoded at high
bit rate, variable bit rate or has minimal high frequency
range.
