Unlike ordinary sub bass units the low level input signal is fed directly
into the FEU where a frequency division network diverts the lowest
frequencies to the FEU amplifier and feeds the remaining signal to the
monitor as normal.
When the
FEU is switched off the division network is bypassed feeding the total
signal to the monitor. This feature is useful for setting the FEU’s
sensitivity, as its effect can be easily assessed by simply switching the
unit on and off. The calibrated sensitivity control can then be adjusted to
match the FEU’s to your listening environment.
The FEU
will highlight material that has been produced on speakers with poor bass
extension such as many popular mini monitors, and it may take a little time
for the ear to adjust to hearing the entire frequency spectrum being
faithfully reproduced.
802FEU’s
are supplied in pairs and form the perfect speaker stand for any Excel
Compact Reference Monitor.
