It had been a while since I'd checked out HSU's website, so it's only now that I noticed this new mid-bass module. I was kind of fuzzy on the reasoning behind mid-bass modules, so it was nice to finally get a taste of their justification in the product description:

 Quote:
The MBM-12 MK2 introduces our new patent pending concept of splitting up the bass frequencies. In most moderately sized rooms, mid-bass is best reproduced near the listener, while deep bass is best reproduced in a far corner. The mid bass module allows one to do optimally position the low frequencies nearby, for maximum impact.


Is anyone here using mid-bass modules? What does everyone here think of their theory?

I've always wondered about these. It seems cool, but I think it would have a major impact on the sound of the speakers themselves, no?

Are you referring to timbre matching? At what frequencies does that become an issue?

Yeah, that! I don't know. Maybe the way a sub works, you are getting the higher frequencies leading down to the lower ones, so your ear picks up the speaker sound first. . .but it just seems kinda complicated. Probably a lot of trial and error and tweaking involved.

\:\) That's the worst part of this hobby for me. My attention span isn't as impressive as it could be.

At least it was lint this time and not a gummy bear or whatever it was.

Has it ever re-tethered you to YOUR MOM?

Sorry, it's been a while since I've made a your mom reference. It had been slumbering inside me.
