The BASS BOOST control raises the amplifier output up to 18 dB at
frequencies tightly centered around 45 Hz. This “bump” can have a
dramatic effect on the bass system’s apparent volume. Use caution
when adjusting this control, as subwoofer damage may result if the
subwoofer begins to distort. When you exceed the subwoofer’s
capabilities, the distortion will be obvious.
