Step 3: Verifying the settings and Locking
Bypass
The front of both MaxxBass systems includes a Bypass button. When the Bypass button is pressed, the MaxxBass unit turns
off the MaxxBass processing. MaxxBass will attenuate the audio signal while in bypass by the setting on the input trim control.
When in Bypass the Bypass LED will light.
Use the Bypass button to flip the MaxxBass effect on and off. Listen carefully to make sure that MaxxBass unit is properly
tuned to your system. Perform listening tests on the specific acoustic system to fine tune both frequency and intensity for the
optimum bass response. Frequency sweeps can be used, as well as a variety of source materials.
Lock
Once you are satisfied with MaxxBass parameter settings for input level, frequency and intensity, you can use the system’s Lock
button to preserve your setting. Press this button by inserting a pin. The Lock LED lights up to indicate the unit is locked.
When the MaxxBass is locked, the Frequency and Intensity knobs are disabled to eliminate accidental changes to the setup.
MaxxBass 101 provides the Lock control on its front panel, MaxxBass 102 on its rear panel.
NOTE: The Lock button does not disable the Input trim control.
