In a system where phase and polarity are properly set, the main
speakers and subwoofer should work together and sound as if
there is more total bass in the system. If your main speakers and
subwoofers are out of phase their sound waves will cancel each
other and total bass output in the system will sound decreased.
Again, experiment and listen for the smoothest bass without any
prominent or absent notes.
Settings: Listening Modes
The Listening Modes screen lets you apply preset listening modes
to the subwoofer's output. Listening modes are also accessible
from the app's Home screen.
• Movie: The Movie listening mode is an aggressive setting that
maximizes device output for an especially explosive experience.
• Music: The Music listening mode is the default setting for the
D
subwoofers. This mode is balanced and best used for
ynamo
an accurate musical presentation.
• Night: The Night listening mode reduces bass output and is
best used for discrete playback.
Settings: 20–30Hz Level
The 20–30Hz Level screen allows you to adjust subwoofer out-
put from -10dB to +10dB in the 20–30Hz range. This control and
Anthem Room Correction (ARC) serve similar purposes. Where this
control is limited to the 20–30Hz frequency range, ARC adjusts
your subwoofer's output across its entire frequency range.
If not using ARC, this control can be used to modify your sub-
woofer's response to compensate for the room anomalies or to
modify the subwoofers sound to your personal taste. The frequen-
cies adjusted are between 20–30Hz—a range where peaks
(room gain) and dips of different amplitudes often develop in lis-
tening rooms. The ideal setting is dependent on room size and
construction, system configuration, and personal preference. As a
rule of thumb, if your low-bass sounds weak, increase this control.
If your low-bass sounds bloated, decrease this control.
If using ARC, this control can be used to match your personal taste
by further changing the way the subwoofer sounds.
Note: The 20–30Hz Level setting will not affect the ARC mea-
surements or compensation filters. If you have an ARC correction
uploaded to your subwoofer, we recommend first listening with this
8
control set to 0. Remember, this setting will adjust the subwoofer
output in addition to ARC's adjustments.
Settings: Room Correction
The Room Correction screen provides information on Anthem Room
Correction (ARC). The ARC toggle allows you to turn ARC correction
on and off (only available if ARC software has been used to upload
a correction curve to your sub). This is an effective tool for hearing
the difference that Anthem Room Correction makes!
Settings: Passcode
The Passcode screen lets you protect your subwoofer's settings
with a custom 4-digit passcode. Once a passcode is set it can
also be cleared on this screen.
Settings: Rename
The Rename screen lets you assign a custom name to your
subwoofer. This is useful if you have multiple subwoofer's in your
system. A custom subwoofer name must be between 3–13 charac-
ters long.
Settings: Reset
The Reset screen lets you perform a factory reset on your
subwoofer. A factory reset will restore all settings to their defaults.
It will also erase any ARC corrections that have been uploaded to
the subwoofer.
