WHY USE MAXXBASS TM ® PrecisionPower will introduce the first MaxxBass processor to ® the automotive market. The MaxxBass processor is ideal for improving the perceived bass response in door mounted speakers without upgrading the speakers or amplifiers. ® MaxxBass provides subwoofer like performance with perceived bass response to 30-40Hz on door mounted speakers. The ® MaxxBass Processor is recommended in two configurations. (Please see Wiring Configurations for more details.) 1) Front Stereo C

MaxxBass uses psychoacoustics to extend the perceived bass frequency response. It is proven to provide up to 1.5 octaves of increased bass range. It does not change the frequency balance of the music and sounds more natural than large bass boosts. It does not require more amplifier power and speaker excursion. It has been proven over many years of use in professional audio recording. WHAT IS MAXXBASS ® MaxxBass is a patented technology, which extends the bass frequency range by allowing list

HOW DOES MAXXBASS WORK ® MaxxBass uses advanced digital signal processing based on the proven psychoacoustic Phenomenon of the Missing Fundamental. A ® basic description and a MaxxBass Signal Flow diagram are provided for interested users. ® ® MaxxBass first implements a crossover at the MaxxBass ® Frequency. The MaxxBass Processor allows the choice of 60Hz, generally suggested for 6-6.5" drivers, and 80Hz suggested for 4- 5.25" woofer drivers. The low pass filter (LPF) output of the crossover e

WIRING CONFIGURATIONS ® The MaxxBass Processor is recommended in two different configurations. 1. Front Stereo Configuration The figure below illustrates the wiring for a front stereo ® configuration. One MaxxBass Processor is used between the front channel source and front speaker amplifier to increase the bass response only on the front speakers. ® Implementing MaxxBass on the front speakers will increase the perceived bass response of these speakers down to 30-40Hz providing a Virtual Subwoof

2. Dual Stereo Configurations For systems without rear subwoofers, the user may prefer to use two ® MaxxBass Processors, one for the front speakers and one for the rear speakers. The units should be wired between the in-dash CD Receiver and the power amplifiers as shown below. Front speakers In-dash with Virtual CD Receiver LF RF TM Subwoofer Front Rear Rear speakers Maxx Maxx with Virtual ® ® RF RR Bass Bass TM Subwoofer Power Amplifiers NOTE: As an option, before beginning, disconnect the nega

The ground wire should be of the same gauge wire as the power wire. As a rule of thumb, use as short length of wire as possible. Find ® a location near the MaxxBass Processor that is metal ( the floor is ideal) and clean an area about the size of a quarter to bare metal. Drill a pilot hole in the middle of this area. Terminate the wire with a ring connector and attach it to the bare metal using a #8 sheet metal screw and washer (not supplied). We suggest crimping and/or soldering this connection

INPUT To use Speaker Level Inputs (common ground head units only), connect RCA plugs to the front or rear speaker leads as shown. NOTE: It is important to connect an input signal to both RCA input jacks if a stereo amplifier is used, otherwise the connected channel receives full range and the disconnected channel will receive only the harmonics. Use a RCA female to dual male “Y” cord if mono input is used. Front speakers In-dash with Virtual LF RF TM CD Receiver Subwoofer Front Rear Maxx LR RR ®

MAXXBASS PROCESSOR SETTINGS To achieve proper performance it is important to set or tune the ® settings on the MaxxBass Processor to the final system. This section recommends initial settings and the users can then further adjust these for optimal listening. 1. CROSSOVER: The CROSSOVER control implements a - 24dB/octave low pass filter on the input. Set the CROSSOVER ® control to OFF if the amplifier and speakers after the MaxxBass Processor are full range speakers or if passive crossovers are u

When the Remote INTENSITY control is plugged into the ® MaxxBass Processor, the Remote INTENSITY control become ® active and the INTENSITY control on the MaxxBass Processor is disabled. This allows the user to install a remote control in a location ® different than the MaxxBass Processor and place in a more convenient position for the listener such as underneath the dashboard or in the glove compartment. ® The INTENSITY control on the MaxxBass Processor system is only active when the Remote INTE
