Frequently Asked Questions

The presets subtly adjust the frequency response to compensate for nearfield, free space, or wall placement, providing a more tailored listening experience.
While accurate, the DSP might be considered a slight limitation for true mastering; more neutral, transparent monitors would be preferable in that scenario.
The bass extension control allows you to fine-tune the low-end, but it's best used for subtle adjustments rather than drastic changes to the fundamental tonality.
