6.2 Nyaluyukeun Setélan
- Kontrol Gain: Play a familiar piece of music with a strong bass presence. Slowly increase the gain control on the amplifier until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly. This matches the ampsensitivitas input lifier kana output head unit anjeun.
- Saringan Low Pass: Set the low-pass filter frequency to blend smoothly with your main speakers. A common starting point is 80-100 Hz, but this may vary depending on your system.
- Saringan Subsonik: If your subwoofer is ported or you are experiencing excessive cone excursion at very low frequencies, engage the subsonic filter (20 Hz). This protects the subwoofer from playing frequencies below its safe operating range.
- Nguatkeun Bass: Use the bass boost sparingly. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage. Adjust to your preference, ensuring the sound remains clean.
- Pindah fase: Experiment with the 0 and 180-degree phase settings. Choose the setting that provides the most impactful and coherent bass response from your listening position.
The FPS 1500 features Dynamic Soft Clipping, which helps protect your speakers from distortion by gently limiting the output when the amplifier is driven beyond its clean power capabilities.
