Subsonic Filter Adjustment - Directed Audio 1200T Owner's Manual

SUBSONIC FILTER ADJUSTMENT

This amplifier incorporates a subsonic filter
to maximize the performance of a
subwoofer. The subsonic filter is a high pass
filter that removes unwanted bass output
at very low frequencies from the woofer.
This increases the output of a subwoofer by
as much as 3 dB by increasing the mechan-
ical power handling of the subwoofer.
Depending on the type of enclosure the
subsonic filter can increase the useable low
frequency output by an additional 10 dB!
Acceptable boost levels are determined by
the type of enclosure used, wattage of the
