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.
