Bass setting 1
Ensure the input setting switch is moved to the correct position for the application.
The ASOF EQ switch is designed specificially for Artcoustic speakers and subwoofers.
ASOF EQ. Filters and filter slope explained.
Bass setting 1
EQ slope optimized for smaller Artcoustic subwoofer models, such as IWS-10, CPH-10 Sub and Impact 1.
The Depth 1 setting mainly enhances the very deep frequencies below 45 Hz. This setting is good for
installations with main focus on 2-channel music reproduction.
This setting is also recommended for setups without the use of subwoofer and has especially been timbre
matched to the smaller Artcoustic fullrange models, Target SL and the more powerful CPH-10P.
Bass setting 2
Flat response with no EQ added to the signal. Recommended setting for environments where less dynamics
and lower distortion is required.
Bass setting 3
EQ slope optimized for setups with much reduced dynamic range, often used for speech only applications.
