1. Fine-Tuning the ealaBASS
The NJM2706 has quite sophisticated NJRC’s original dynamic bass-boost technology. Both of the level and the
frequenc y for bass -boost moves autom atically corr esponding to the inp ut signal level. T his dynam ic filterin g action
prevents the signals over boosted, and provides less distortion and wide dynamic range bass-boost processing.
In additi on, if you wa nt to f ine-tune t he bas s-boos t eff ect f or your s ystem , you ca n m odif y the bass- boost ef fect by
changing the external parts value as described below.
1-1. Modify the Boost Center Frequency
This plot shows the frequency response for NJM2706 ealaBASS.
The Boost Center Frequency can be adjusted by changing the value for the external capacitor, C4.
If your speaker system has more than 100Hz of f
0
(= Lower Frequency Response Range), or, if you would like to
get more powerful bass-boost effect than the typical settings shown on the page 9, increasing the Boost Center
Frequenc y higher c ould b e a good ide a. W e strongl y recom m end you to determ ine the ac tual cap acita nce va lue b y
testing and examinations on your actual application.
1-2. Modification for the LPF Cut-off Frequency f
CL
This picture shows the equivalent circuit for NJM2706’s LPF.
The LPF Cut-off Frequency f
CL
is given by the following equation:
Set the f
CL
as same as the Boost Center Frequency, which is det er mined as abo ve ( T he Boost Center Fr eq u ency =
the frequency of which the gain is +3dB). In the typical application circuit shown on the page 9, the LPF Cut-off
Frequency f
CL
is set to 100Hz.
