Adjusting the Para-BASS Controls
The bass response in a system is affected by four factors (1) the acoustics of
the vehicle, (2) the location of the speakers, and (3) the music on the tape, CD,
or source unit, and (4) ampliers, speakers and speaker enclosures. Because of
the variations in the recording process, we developed The Epicenter InDash to
help restore any low frequencies lost during the recording process. However, the
acoustics of various environments are different. With this in mind our coffee-
laden engineers developed the unique Para-BASS
TM
system.
The “Frequency” control allows you to select a center frequency (the fre-
quency most affected) between 27 and 63 Hz. The “Width” control then allows
you to control the shape of the lter centered on the “Frequency”. You will want
to use a real time analyzer or a good set of ears to set this control.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No Power: If the Power LED on your Epicenter InDash will not turn on,
check to make sure that the power wire and remote turn on wires are connected
or a fuse has not blown.
No Bass Restoration: When your system is playing and yet you don’t hear
any difference in the sound, trying turn the knob clockwise. If you still don’t
hear any affect, then check to make sure that you have The Epicenter InDash in
the right part of the signal chain. It must be installed BEFORE any crossovers
in the system.
Note: If you are using a source unit with a built in crossover or processor,
you must run a full range output to The Epicenter InDash’s inputs.
Sounds Distorted: Should your system sound distorted or your speakers are
moving way too much, you should decrease the amount of bass restoration by
turning the dash control knob counter clockwise.
No Display: The display on The Epicenter InDash should always be showing
either the systems SPL or the battery voltage. If the display is showing nothing,
see the above section on “No Power”.
