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.
