3.2. ADAPTING THE BLOW5 TO THE ROOM ACOUSTICS Generally there are many factors affecting the monitoring of sound. For example, room size, distance from the wall, size of studio space, the reflection of the room, and the distance between speakers and user. In a multi-channel monitoring system like 5.1 surround or THX, a subwoofer is included in the system to produce low frequency effect. So it may be necessary to reduce the low frequency level of the monitoring speakers. Because of the

Room Compensation Control If you’ve placed speakers close to the wall or in a corner, you’ll be hearing too much loud low frequency level. In the case of some studios, there is bass-trap for reducing the low frequency level. The Room Compensation Control allows you to lower the bass range depending on the room acoustics. You can select the switch to reduce low frequency level in 3 steps of -2dB below 500 Hz. The following graph shows how Room Compensation Control affects the respons
