[. . . ] TruBass circuity actively monitors the low-frequency content of an audio signal and optimizes the frequency and amplitude spectrum of the output signal to enhance bass perception. Whether you are limited by space, cost or implementation, for bass previously believed impossible. This process creates deep, rich bass in headphones and speaker systems that have poor or little bass response. Sub-woofer performance will be enhanced substantially. Unprecedented bass response will virtually eliminates the need for large speakers to create low frequency fundamental tones and will in several case eliminate the need for a sub-woofer all together. Be sure that the TRU BASSTM process will not color the midrange or create bass not present on recordings. This process will only define any bass present on a recording. TRUE BASS LEVEL - This knob is used to control the amount of "TRU BASS" process is applied to the output source signal. WOW CONTROL - This button is used to activate the SRS® WOW Process created by SRS Labs. The WOWTM process is a combination of 3D Stereo Process and the TRU BASSTM Process. WOW creates extraordinary enhancement to the listening experience. Ordinary stereo presents a limited spatial presentation, and often lack-luster bass (low frequency) performance. Any sound system can deliver an audio performance with drastically improved image size, dynamics and immersion when playing a signal processed with WOW. Because the WOWTM effect combines the 3D StereoTM Process and the TRU BASSTM Process, the processing of the spatial cues surrounds the listener with a holographic representation of the performance. In addition bass becomes deep, rich and controlled through means that don't require a speaker with a large woofer or cabinet size. In essence you may eliminate the need of a separate sub-woofer. AUX 4 INPUT JACK - This Aux input is for the use of a Mp3 player. Input volume will be controlled by the channel four fader. ©American Audio® - www. americanaudio. us - Q-Spand MKIITM Instruction Manual Page 10 Q-SPAND MKIITM FRONT PANEL - CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS CONT. 19. HEADPHONE JACK - This jack is used to connect your headphones to the mixer allowing you to monitor the cue source. Use headphones only rated at 8 ohms to 32 ohms. Most DJ headphones are rated at 16 ohm, these are highly recommended. Always be sure the CUE LEVEL VOLUME (23) is set to minimum before you put the headphones on.
