AudioControl has been awarded a patent (U.S. Patent # is 9,225,305) for its AccuBASS technology for both automotive and home audio.
AccuBASS gives listeners an accurate representation of the low frequency range (50 Hz to 125 Hz) of any recording and is featured in several AudioControl products including the new DM-810 digital signal processor, which won a CES Innovation award.
Most factory systems roll off or reduce the bass when you turn up the volume to reduce stress on the speakers. The AccuBASS circuit is a smart technology that automatically applies bass compensation only when required in order to restore the bass to its proper level.
This provides aftermarket car audio retailers with a system upgrade path while retaining the car’s factory radio and related audio electronics.
The AccuBASS technology remains true to the bass content in the original recording, activating only when it senses that the bass in the factory system begins rolling off. AccuBASS technology can also be used in an “always on” mode to enhance the low frequency performance of any sound system.
“AccuBASS brings AudioControl-engineered and patented dynamic bass compensation capability to our worldwide network of dealers, giving them an elegant solution to the challenge of bass-deficient factory car audio systems,” said AudioControl CEO Alex Camara. “Now consumers can enjoy rich, dynamic bass the way artists intended…”
