MWA040 External Bass Control
External Bass Control for use with MTX THUNDER and WET Series Amplifiers THUNDER1000.1, THUNDER500.1, WET500.1 amplifiers.
External bass controls (EBC), or remote bass controls (RBC), are a convenient and easy to install accessory that allows you to tune the bass in your music song by song. For example, if you listen to a wide variety of music, you may want more bass when listening to Rap or Hip Hop and less bass when listening to Country or Heavy Metal. An external bass controller (EBC) will allow you to adjust the bass level without having to pull over and adjust the gain setting on the amplifier.
However, a common misconception about EBC’s is that they are volume knobs for your subwoofers. It’s important that you understand what this little knob is actually doing to your audio signal.
But if you want to be able to tune your music on the fly, an EBC is the way to go. If an EBC is connected to your amplifier, you are essentially bypassing the gain control inside the amplifier and running a wire to the external control known as the EBC. A remote subwoofer control, remote gain control, remote bass control, or whatever you want to call it is actually a remotely located, external gain control.
