CAUTION: Using this feature could pose a danger to your subwoofer! It is possible to “stack” EQs - that is,
setting them to identical or similar frequencies and boosting the signal at that frequency. Some users have
configured their EQs to stack EQs at the lowest frequencies, such as 15 – 20 Hz, thus increasing the bass output
of the subwoofer. The SMS-1 will deliver this signal directly to the subwoofer, and without adequate overdrive
protection this could cause damage to the subwoofer even at normal playback levels.
