Perform Listening Test
As a final thought on matching your Digital Drive PLUS subwoofer to your room, don’t forget the objective listening test. That is, make sure the
unit sounds good to you! Often, you may want to add a bit more bass than what would normally be considered flat even after you remove the
major peaks and valleys to achieve a flat frequency response. This is quite normal because human hearing rolls off rapidly below 100Hz,
causing the bass not to sound as loud. In order for the bass to sound flat to you, especially at lower levels, you may need to increase the
subwoofer volume in relation to the satellite speakers. An increase of about 2 dB to 8 dB is normal.
To raise the subwoofer volume in relation to the satellites:
• Raise the level for the subwoofer in the speaker level setup of your surround receiver or processor.
OR
• Raise the volume of your Digital Drive PLUS subwoofer after you have finished your room equalization and other settings.
