Phase Matching Bass
■
PM Bass
Off
On
From the warm low notes produced by a cello to the deep
frequencies of electronic music, a good audio system
should be able to deliver plenty of bass resonance.
While traditional enhancement systems effectively boost
low-frequency sound, they are often prone to the effects of
phase shifting, which can overwhelm mid-range
frequencies and muddy the sound. Our Phase-Matching
Bass Boost technology effectively preserves mid-range
clarity-allowing vocals and strings to shine-while

maintaining a smooth, powerful bass response at all
volume levels.
Note
• The Phase Matching Bass is disabled when the Direct listening
mode is selected.
• If the "Subwoofer" setting is set to "No", this setting is fixed to
"Off".
Tip
