Take full control of your bass! This in-depth miniDSP 2x4HD tutorial walks you through every step of setting up and calibrating multiple subwoofers in your home theater — from level matching and time alignment to EQ tuning for smooth, powerful low-end response. Whether you’re running dual subs or a full multi-sub setup, this guide will help you get perfectly balanced bass in any room. Includes a dedicated section for subs with built-in PEQ (like SVS, PSA, and Monolith) for even more precise results.
🎧 Tools used: miniDSP 2x4HD, REW, UMIK-1
