Frequently Asked Questions
The presets are subtle but helpful for tailoring the sound to different room environments and speaker placements; they primarily adjust EQ and phase response.
While they offer adequate low-end, you might notice a lack of serious sub-bass extension, so a subwoofer could be beneficial for critical electronic music production.
They use DSP to simulate the acoustic effects of free-space versus wall-mounted placement, applying EQ and time alignment – a clever and generally effective solution.
