-
Built-In Crossover and Controls:
- The DXS15 MKII includes a built-in adjustable crossover that allows users to select the optimal frequency split between the subwoofer and the main speakers. You can set the crossover point between 80Hz, 100Hz, or 120Hz, depending on your main speaker configuration.
- Additional controls include a polarity switch to ensure correct phase alignment with your speakers, enhancing overall bass performance and eliminating phase cancellation issues.
-
Cardioid Mode for Stage Use:
- The subwoofer can be configured in Cardioid Mode, which focuses bass output towards the audience and reduces low-end sound towards the rear (the stage area). This is particularly useful in live performances where you want to minimize bass feedback on stage.
