HPFs on the US-5000 and US-6000 amplifiers can be set to cut off signals below either 30Hz or 50Hz. As a result, bass reproduction is optimized, since ultra-low frequencies, which most speakers cannot reproduce anyway, are eliminated and more power becomes available for the reproduction of the remainder of the music signal. -
