QSizzle QSizzle is a mid and high frequency (treble) enhancement algorithm that helps to compensate for the loss of presence, punch and signal detail that often results from compressed digital media, such as MP3 and WMA formats. QSizzle self-adjusts in real time according to frequency response of the input signal. This is different from the Equalizer, which is a fixed frequency processor. The Equalizer does not monitor the input signal or perform self-adjustment. The label QSizzle Active appears in illuminated text when QSizzle is enabled, and QSizzle Off when disabled. QRumble QRumble is a powerful low frequency enhancement algorithm that helps to compensate for loss of bass that may result from compressed digital media such as MP3's or WMA formats. The Ultimate EdgeTM Soundcard Users Guide 16 Philips Sound Solutions QRumble responds in real time to the varying nature of the input signal, automatically adjusting itself accordingly. This is very different from the Equalizer, which is a static frequency processor.
