Roghainnean Crossover

Tha an amplifier features a variable 12dB low-pass crossover (50Hz–200Hz). This filter allows only frequencies below the set point to pass to the subwoofer, preventing higher frequencies from reaching it and improving overall sound clarity. Adjust this to blend smoothly with your main speakers.

Filter Subsonic

A 24dB/octave subsonic filter set at 25Hz helps protect your subwoofer by removing extremely low, inaudible frequencies that can cause excessive cone excursion and potential damage. It also improves efficiency by preventing the amplifier from wasting power on these frequencies.

Àrdachadh bass KickEQ

The KickEQ offers a variable 0-6dB bass boost centered at 40Hz. Use this feature to enhance low-frequency response. Adjust carefully to avoid distortion and speaker damage.

CXARC Remote Bass Control

The CXARC remote bass control connects to your CXA400.1 amplifier and allows you to adjust the bass level conveniently from the driver's seat. This provides on-the-fly control over your subwoofer's output without needing to access the amplosgadair gu dìreach.
