EQ Series Subwoofer

Thank you for buying the latest version of our most popular subwoofer.
The additional upgrades we have made make this the best all-round sub in our history. Incorporated in the Trevoce EQ Series is the new native EQ. The native EQ has allowed us to extract the maximum bass extension possible from our design. This allows the full range of musical instruments and special effects to be reproduced. The Trevoce EQ Series does this all without any increase in the size of the sub. Our Trevoce subs offer the smallest footprint you will find in triple driver designs.

   PHASE set to 0°

3. Play a movie scene or soundtrack and set the system volume to an average level. Listen to the bass level from your favorite listening position and adjust the volume accordingly.

4. Continue listening to your favorite source track and experiment with the phase control until you find the best setting for you.
