5.2 BASS MANAGEMENT
Anthem Room Correction automatically sets these items during measurement, and you may skip this menu.
Subwoofers play two things, LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel sound in multichannel soundtracks and bass
redirected from speakers that are configured to use a crossover (i.e., there’s a Hz value set in the bass management
menu instead of being set to “Off”). Some people prefer to play 2-channel music without the use of a subwoofer. The
reason often cited for this is that subwoofers do not blend well with the main speakers. Do not fear! Anthem Room
Correction excels in integrating subwoofers with the main speakers. When using Anthem Room Correction, we strongly
recommend using at least one subwoofer to enhance all the speakers. A subwoofer, with a built-in amplifier, plays
bass that is louder, deeper, and with less distortion than that of most full-range speakers. (there are some amazing
full range speakers and not that great subwoofers available so this is a general rule of thumb)
In this menu, enter information about your speakers so that bass does not become distorted. The bass manager is a
crossover that divides the audio into two frequency bands. The result is less bass going to speakers, and more bass
going to the subwoofer.
If your subwoofer has a built-in crossover, set it to “bypass” or set its frequency control to the highest frequency since
the MRX/AVM handles this.
Similarly, if your subwoofer has a phase option, set it to 0 since the MRX/AVM handles this as well. Highlighting Bass
