Why Choose This Product?
The bassRESTOR is designed for systems that have a subwoofer signal but lack the bass presence you want. It can restore low-end energy from a factory subwoofer amplifier or an aftermarket source’s sub output, without requiring you to replace the entire sub system.
Use the effect, width, and frequency controls to shape the restoration, then fine-tune the level from the remote as your music changes. The adjustable subsonic filter lets you tailor ultra-low frequencies to reduce woofer stress and tighten bass response in your installation.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
The processor accepts a low-pass or full-range signal and is compatible with factory sub amps or aftermarket sub outputs. Its line driver or line output converter function provides flexibility for different signal paths.
Check your source connections and available mounting space before installation. The chassis measures 1.1” x 3.5” x 5.2” (29 x 90 x 133 mm). Auto turn-on uses DC-offset or audio signal detection, and the unit provides a generated +12V remote output.
