The RP221 Bottom Feeder is a crossover, subsonic synthesizer, and sonic exciter, designed mainly for the DJ
and karaoke markets. The outputs are not only separate high and low frequencies, but enhanced for crystal
clear highs and lows worthy of Richter scale measurements. You get complete control over the tone of your
sound.
THE ROLLS SONIC EXCITER - SCE PROCESSING
The human ear can detect a frequency range of roughly 20Hz to 20kHz. However, the frequency response
that a normal speaker can effectively reproduce is much, much less. Additionally, speakers add distortion
and phase changes that make the sound quite different from that of the original material.
A sonic exciter restores clarit y and presence to the processed signal by correcting phase changes and
harmonic struct ure differences. In other words, it puts the components of the sound back where they
belong.
All of this magic is done by the use of all-pass filtering, frequency compensated gain adjustment, and
compensated frequency domain delay. What this means to you is the elements of your sound are fanned out
like a deck of cards, making each sound more audible and distinct, reducing the need for high volume and
radical equalizer adjustment.
THE ROLLS SUB-OCTAVE SYNTHESIZER
Specially designed circuitry for the sole purpose of adding ultra low-end to the sound is included in the
RP221. The Sub-Octave Synthesizer divides the low frequency portion of the signal (the frequencies below
the crossover point) in half, providing an extreme bass sound.
