Bass enhancer

DBX also has the Subharmonic Synthesis, model 120X-DS that works very good, if and only IF its not over used

Just trying to compensate for the speakers shortcomings. I guess I should have spent a little more on better ones. Oh well, maybe next time.

Got a bass enhancer off e-bay yesterday. It should be here soon.

Try cutting instead of boosting. Cutting improves noise floor, and generally sounds better with a graphic EQ.

I will try that, and the bass enhancer when it comes in. It should only be a few days for it to get here.

I think the bass is there, it is just getting lost inside of the soffit overhang. It can really be heard inside the house. In fact that is about all I hear inside the house.

I have a Realistic Bass Enhancer/Subsonic Filter on my TV out to the surround system. I love this little thing.

Actually I went and looked, and I have one of those hooked up between my TV and a JBL powered sub-woofer. I'd kinda forgotten about it, hidden away, one of those things once I set it up I rarely need to touch it. This does not synthesize sub-harmonics like the DBX's mentioned. It is a parametric bass control, with a sub-sonic filter. I use mine to get a 6 dB boost at 40 Hz.

I say :thmbsp: on your intended use!

This little guy came in yesterday.
Now thats what I'm talking about. I got bass!!! Actualy too much if turned up past 5 or 6 db of boost. But it sure did exactly what I wanted. I got it set just a little above the 40hz setting.

If something seemed missing from my outdoor system, this sure makes up for it now.

Time to piss off the neighbors!

Unless some one has another device to recommend, I'm going to give it a go. Years ago I read about a device they called an Electronic subwoofer, but I have never been able to find one. Wish I could remember who made it.

The Electronic Subwoofer was made by Allison Acoustics.

Yes the DBX subharmonic synthesizer was the best. The professional one. Every disco I ever installed had one plus a DBX 3BX dynamic range expander. The 3BX also increased the dynamic range and reduced any noise on records as well as mylar tapes on R2R machines.
