• RENFORCEMENT DES BASSES: Provides an increase in bass output at a specific frequency. Use sparingly to avoid distortion and potential damage.
• PHASE: Allows you to adjust the phase of the subwoofer output (0 or 180 degrees) to ensure it blends seamlessly with your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the best sound.
