    Application Examples Small Speaker Systems MaxxBass significantly enhances audio systems with small speakers such as PA in restaurants and retail as shown in Figure 7. These systems, equipped with small or ceiling mount speakers, will be dramatically enhanced by allowing listeners to enjoy the deep bass tones in music without adding a subwoofer.

    Sound Reinforcement - Subwoofer Arrays Large scale subwoofer arrays with full range bass also benefit from MaxxBass to increase the bass and richness. This can allow a reduction in the number of amplifiers and subwoofers to reach the desired bass level. As shown in Figure 9, connect MaxxBass between the crossover and the subwoofer amplifier on the subwoofer path.
