ongratulations on your acquisition of the finest bass restoration processor
known to the autosound world. Whether this is your first AudioControl
product, or you are already a firm believer, you will definitely enjoy The
Epicenter Concert Series.
Now before we get too far along here, we need to give you a simplistic
explanation of bass and its multitude of applications. Regardless of your age
or musical preference, the addition of low frequency bass to your autosound
system is truly an enjoyable experience. Whether you listen to the kettle drums
of Beethoven's fifth symphony or you prefer the tones of rap music, bass will
truly enhance the performance of your system. Of course, some people enjoy
more bass than others, and for that reason The Epicenter comes with a dash
mountable control knob which allows you to increase or decrease the level of
the bass restoration effect. No matter what your choice of music, you will
absolutely love The Epicenter.
Now before you start salivating too much just thinking about what The
Epicenter can add to your system, take a few minutes to sit back, have a latté,
decaffeinated if necessary, and read through this manual. It contains lots of
useful facts and information (and besides, we spent a lot of time writing it)!!
