6.6 FlexBass
FlexBass is an advanced bass management and enhancement mechanism that
allows you to select each satellite speaker’s type for optimal sound performance.
It comes with an adjustable crossover frequency for the boundary of the bass
signals. FlexBass will filter out the bass signals from small speaker channels and
redirect them to the subwoofer or large speakers.

Small / Large speaker
option
Select the speaker type connected to the Xonar D-Kara. If your
speaker type cannot handle low-frequency signals (bass), select
“Small” speaker type. Xonar D-Kara will filter out the bass signals
and send them to the subwoofer channel. If the speakers support
full-range signals, you can select the “Large” speaker type.*
*In most cases, low-cost desktop PC 2-channel speakers are small-
type speakers. Refer to speaker’s specifications or consult your
speaker vendor to identify correct speaker type. However, common
2.1 speakers with a subwoofer should be categorized as large
speakers because the subwoofer can redirect the bass signals
inside the two channels to the subwoofer speaker automatically.

LFE Crossover
Frequency
Adjusts the cut-off frequency (50~250Hz) for LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects) signals. Xonar D-Kara will filter out bass signals below the
crossover frequency from small speaker channels and forward them
to the subwoofer. Higher crossover frequency values would result in
reduced bass signals.
