Key Features
The DBO-1 is a cost-effective solution to enhance the bass performance of any Artcoustic loudspeaker or subwoofer. Based on the remarkable MaxxBass® technology and drawn from the latest research in auditory perception (psychoacoustics), the DBO-1 increases the perceived level of bass by adding harmonics to the original frequencies. This remarkable processor can extend the apparent depth of the bass by as much as 1 1/2 octaves, without requiring the speaker or subwoofer to actually deliver those signals, and without requiring additional amplifier power. This allows you to improve the bass performance of your existing system, or purchase smaller speakers and amplifiers in the first place.The DBO-1 offers a ready made way to experience outsize bass from smaller Artcoustic models, such as the Diablo Monitor, the DF65-50, and the Diablo Tech+1 Subwoofer. When used with larger Artcoustic speakers, such as the DF75-55, the DBO-1 can potentially eliminate the need for a separate subwoofer, depending on room size and the listener’s expectations. Using the DBO-1 with Artcoustic’s range of on-wall subwoofers will reduce amplifier power demands, while at the same time enhancing total bass output.The DBO-1 is as easy to install and use as a conventional equalizer. Just connect it between your audio source and power amplifier, then adjust the input, frequency and output controls to taste. In commercial applications, the use of the DBO-1 on main speakers and subwoofers can result in significant savings on amplification.
