  • Page 19 At low volume levels, our ears perceive low frequencies with less intensity than medium or high frequency ranges. This leads to persons listening to music at low volume levels feeling that the bass frequencies are missing. Hence, Revox has created an adaptive bass correction algorithm that takes hearing perception into account.
  • Page 20 .Widening effect. The Revox Audiobar has been designed as a multi-channel speaker for high-quality audio playback. If you wish to experience the audio on its own without additional spatial effects, select Off. Particularly for (stereo) recordings, this is the best choice, as the piece of music will already have been given echo and other effects in the recording studio.

  • Page 22 .External Bass. Traditionally wired active subwoofers such as the Revox Active 04 can also be connected to the audio bar.

This settings menu is always available, even if no external subwoofer is connected.
