[. . . ] You will only need to take advantage of the Bass Management functions when using smaller satellite speakers that cannot reproduce low bass frequencies; If your main speakers are large enough to properly output low frequencies, Bass Management is not required and should remain off. The M-Audio Bass Management system also includes several additional features that many users will find handy. [. . . ] If you notice that the bass level increases when you check the box, leave the box checked. If you hear no difference between the two settings, your speakers are placed in a way in which the setting of this box will not affect your monitoring system. TIP: Check this box for correct monitoring of Dolby Digital soundtracks. Leave the box unchecked while monitoring DTS encoded material, or if subwoofer output has been boosted at another point in the subwoofer's signal path. TIP: When making any adjustments to the Boost controls, keep an eye on the Clip indicator. If it turns red, adjust the Boost slider setting until the subwoofer output no longer clips. 3 Bass Management The "Speaker freq. Response" section allows you to configure crossover points and routing options for your sound system. < rossover Freq (in Hz) ­ The Bass Management system C re-routes low frequency sounds from main speaker channels to the subwoofer. These radio buttons allow you to set the "crossover" frequency at which the signal is split and sent to either the main channels (for use with satellite speakers) or subwoofer. For example, if "80" is selected (as shown in the picture), your interface will output frequencies above 80Hz to the specified main channels (where a smaller satellite speaker may be connected) while frequencies below 80Hz will be sent to the subwoofer. If the frequency is set to "Off, " no bass re-routing will occur and the entire sound spectrum will be sent to the main channels. < ub Mode (LFE+Main) ­ When checked, the bass S management system routes frequencies below your Crossover Freq (in Hz) selection to both the main channels and the subwoofer. In other words, frequencies below the crossover points are not removed from the main speakers before being sent to the subwoofer. This increases the bass output of your sound system since bass will be duplicated at the main speakers and the subwoofer. TIP: Consult your speaker's documentation to see if an optimum crossover point is specified for bass managed systems. If the documentation does not include this information, locate the speaker's frequency response rating (most documentation will list this information in a "Technical Specifications" section) and set your crossover point just above the speaker's low frequency limit.
