The Home MiniWoofer lets you hear deep, natural and undistorted bass response to about
40Hz similar to large home theater subwoofers. It is against the Laws of Physics to create
40Hz bass from such a small, light weight and low power product, but the Home
MiniWoofer lets you hear bass frequencies down to 40Hz by using an acoustic illusion
based on the psychoacoustic Phenomenon of the Missing Fundamental. This is
conceptually similar to perceiving a full color spectrum from only red, green and blue pixels
on your television display,
Waves, the world leader is signal processing tools to audio professionals has extensively
researched how to optimize this process and patented its MaxxBass® psychoacoustic
bass extension. This technology has been used in top music recordings for many years
and now it available in consumer electronics

Summary of Contents for Waves MiniWoofer

  • Page 1 The Home MiniWoofer lets you hear deep, natural and undistorted bass response to about 40Hz similar to large home theater subwoofers. It is against the Laws of Physics to create 40Hz bass from such a small, light weight and low power product, but the Home MiniWoofer lets you hear bass frequencies down to 40Hz by using an acoustic illusion based on the psychoacoustic Phenomenon of the Missing Fundamental.
  • Page 2 It is generally recommended to be placed on a shelf near the TV or shelf system. It is not recommended to place the Home MiniWoofer directly on top of CRT TVs since the power speaker magnet is not shielded.
  • Page 3 Plug in the external power supply to an AC outlet and to the rear of the MiniWoofer labeled 15VDC. Proceed to the Settings section for one time set-up of controls on the rear of the system.
  • Page 4 The Home MiniWoofer provides sufficient bass sound to fill a moderated sized room such as in an apartment, bedroom or office; however, if you want even more bass performance, it is simple to connect more than one Home MiniWoofer into an audio system. This is best to do with the Sub Input connection.
  • Page 5 When the INTENSITY control is set at the minimum position, the MaxxBass function is bypassed. 4) PHASE control The PHASE control allows the subwoofer waveform to be inverted. You can set it in either position for optimal listening. Home MiniWoofer www.MiniWoofer.com...
  • Page 6: Why Use Maxxbass

    “more bass from less space.” It extends the bass frequency range by allowing listeners to perceive bass frequencies more than an octave below the physical limitations of speaker systems. In the Home MiniWoofer, the physical low frequency roll- off is 90Hz, but with MaxxBass, you can hear bass frequencies below 40Hz.
  • Page 7: How Does Maxxbass Work

    MaxxBass first implements a crossover at the MaxxBass Frequency. The Home MiniWoofer uses a MaxxBass Frequency of 63Hz. The low pass filter (LPF) output of the crossover provides the bass signal, which is below the bass frequency response of the system.
