The B ASS control is responsible for the »colour« of the bass sound your
signal is to have. If you move the B ASS control to the right, you get a drier,
percussive bass sound, known as T IGHT . As a result of this, on the right-
hand side of the scaling points, there are squares which increase in size, in
line with increased intensity. They symbolize the contoured »T IGHT « bass
sound.
If the B ASS control is moved from the centre position (0) to the left, the
bass sound becomes very deep, soft and warm. This sound is known as
S OFT . This is symbolized with round scaling points which also increase in
size as the intensity increases.
The further the B ASS control is shifted to the right or left of the centre
position, the more intensive the bass sound in question. However, P ROCESS
must be positioned to the right of the M IN setting for the bass to be audible.
You can always hear the original (dry) bass if the B ASS control is in a
centre position.
The P ROCESS control determines the processing ratio between the set
bass sound colour and the original signal. This results in varying bass sound
structures: if you combine high bass amplification on the B ASS control with
a lower P ROCESS value, you get a different bass structure than with a lower
bass amplification combined with a higher P ROCESS value. Choosing the
best solution is a matter of personal taste and also depends on the type of
original signal involved.

Fig. 6:
The dotted line shows frequency
responses for a soft Bass (S OFT ) at
maximumP ROCESS and a M ID -H I
T UNE of 3.5 kHz.
The solid line shows the phase
response, which always drifts only
a few degrees if the amplitude is
increased.
Fig. 7:
The dotted line shows frequency
responses for a hard Bass(T IGHT )
at maximum P ROCESS and a M ID -
H I T UNE of 3.5 kHz.
The solid line shows the phase
response whichhas a phase rela-
tion of -180° at 50 Hz, but other-
wise also drifts only by a few
degrees at increasing amplitudes.
