FlexBass
FlexBass, an advanced bass management and enhancement technology, allows
you to select each satellite speaker’s type for optimal sound performance from the
speakers. The Speaker types are:
•
Small: common speaker that cannot produce low frequencies.
•
Large: wide-band speakers that can produce low frequencies well.
FlexBass comes with an adjustable crossover frequency for the boundary of
the bass signals. It lters out the bass signals from small speaker channels and
redirects them all to the subwoofer or Large speakers.

Small / Large speaker option
Select the speaker type that you connected. If your speaker type cannot perform
low-frequency signals (bass), select “Small” speaker type and Xonar Essence
ST lters out the bass signals and sends them to the subwoofer channel. If those
speakers are full-range, you can select the “Large” speaker type.
Usually, low-cost computer’s 2-channel speakers are small-type speakers.
Common 2.1 speakers with a subwoofer are categorized as Large speakers
because the subwoofer redirects the bass signals inside the two channels to
the subwoofer speaker automatically.
