You should simply adjust them as needed to ensure proper bass levels during your calibration process. and also just download the immerse for Logitech and it helps to give Best equalizer settings for Piano and Classical music. There is no "correct" setting for gain controls. I am creating this thread to find out the best EQ settings for Dolby Atmos music Equalizer. The maximum output capabilities of the subwoofer never change.

By adjusting the gain control you are adjusting the amount of bass produced by the subwoofer RELATIVE to the input signal strength your receiver/processor sends it. Well, it may tell you it has a very sensitive gain control but that's about it.Īt the risk of over simplifying a bit, all the gain control really does is control the sensitivity of the input (RCA jack or XLR) jack on the subwoofer. this really tells you nothing in regards to the subwoofer capabilities. And when you see someone say/post "this subwoofer is very powerful, I only have my gain control set to 25% and the bass over powers the entire room". Conversely, the gain control can be set very high and the subwoofer may be coasting along and never even approach its maximum output limits. The gain knob can be set very low and the subwoofer may be working at its maximum limits. The gain control position is an indicator of how "hard" the subwoofer is working in the system-right? A gain control adjust the output levels *relative* to the input levels. A volume control adjusts the output levels. While adjusting them can result in similar results(increase or decrease in volume) the gain control functions differently.

This will ensure optimal system sound quality.Ī gain control and a volume control are the same thing-right? The gain control on a home audio subwoofer allows us to calibrate the bass levels produced by the subwoofer to match the output from the speakers in the system.
