Setting Output & Subsonic Filter Controls
Bass Output Control – The Epicenter is the most powerful bass component
in the history of autosound. Able to shake tall buildings with a single
note and all that kind of stuff. With that in mind we have equipped The
Epicenter Micro with several different Voltage Output settings that limit
the max voltage output so it doesn't overwhelm your amp or create
unwanted distortion. If you should need to change the settings, please
use the chart below for guidance. A word of advice: listen to the factory
setting before changing your Bass Output settings.
Recommended Settings
Setting Amplifier Input Voltage Rating
5 Volt 5 Volts or less
7.5 Volt 7.5 Volts or less
10 Volt Do they make those?
PFM Subsonic Filter – Many car audio systems truly push the limits of their
Minimum Speaker Size

subwoofer... without really knowing it. Tuned and or ported enclosures
affect the roll-off of many speakers, yet lots of source material forces the
speakers to play lower than expected. The net result is wasted amplifier
power and damaged speakers. The AudioControl PFM filter is a subsonic
filter set to 20Hz. It allows you to only let the speaker play as low as it
should be playing. Because every system is different, your downstream
devices like a DSP, analog EQ or amps may have some processing on
those ultra low frequencies such that you don't want The Epicenter Micro
to filter, we are giving you the option to Bypass this filter. Save yourself
a little anguish and look up some info on reproducing frequencies 20Hz
and below. Best to be sure about selecting Bypass before engaging this
switch. In most any case, the 20 Hz filter will give you the best response
but if you need something lower, like a good neighbor, the Bypass switch
is there for you.
