accuracy and clarity.

The BX-4EQ is designed for dash mounted, which permits instant adjustments easily.

4 Band Grlaphic Equalizer - Bass Enhancer sounds better than anything you've
ever heard, exercise caution to prevent hearing damage.

Features

Bass Driver: The BX-4EQ contains a Bass Driver circuit that accurately recreates and injects
Low frequency information back into the signal path. What that means in everyday terms is
that the BX-4EQ will give more bass impact to your best compact discs or even your old tapes.

Bass Equalization Circuit: The BX-4EQ has a unique equalization circuit that contours the
restored bass to your speaker systems.

Dash Mount : The BX-4EQ is designed for Dash Mountable, that allows you to enjoy the effects
of the BX-4EQ without having to leave the drivers seat.

Bass Maximizer Indicator: Not only does The BX-4EQ provide good music to your ears, but it
also gives you some visual enjoyment as well. On the front panel of the BX-4EQ, there are two
LED indicators that flashes when the bass maximization circuit is activated.

PFM Subsonic Filter Switch: This has the ability to fine tune the bass response of any system.
Why waste power on nasty subsonic information when the PFM Subsonic Filter Switch can help
you to clean things up?

Bass Output Control: The BX-4EQ has the ability to produce large amount of deep, mind
shattering bass without damaging your speakers. The Bass Output Control circuit allows the
BX-4EQ to maximize the bass output of any autosound audio system while restraining
destructive bursts.

Bass Line Level Matching: The BX-4EQ has 4 Levels of signal voltage adjustment to match
the rest of the system seamlessly.

1. Inputs: The inputs of The BX-4EQ use a balanced input circuit to help minimize induced noise.
It is also designed to handle very high signal voltages up to 15 volts.

2. Outputs: These RCA connectors should be connected to the next component after the BX-4EQ
such as a crossover or amplifier. Just remember, the BX-4EQ should go inline before a crossover.

3. Power Connector

4. Master Volume Control: This is the main control to adjust the output level.

5. Preamp Fader Control: This control adjusts the volume between the front and rear output in

4-channel systems.

6. Subwoofer Volume Control: This adjusts the level of the subwoofer output.

7. Para-Bass Controls: These 2 knobs control the Para-Bass functions of the BX-4EQ. The

SWEEP knob allows you to pick the center frequency that you want the BX-4EQ bass restoration
circuit to maximize. The WIDE knob adjusts how wide of a frequency range the BX-4EQ will effect.

8. The PFM Subsonic Filter Switch: The BX-4EQ utilizes a PFM Subsonic Filter Control which
will help with speaker control and amplifier power management. This PFM Subsonic Filter Control
is variable from 35Hz - 80Hz. On most systems, setting the control at 35Hz is fine. If you want
to protect your speaker system even more, you should try a higher frequency. Often a higher
frequency actually sounds louder and cleaner.
