the bass cube is a 1 parametric eq with subsonic

Its basically a Phase Coupled activator.(Frequency divider) And yes it has a subsonic filter like Defro said but it is set at 29hz.

And it will not work with Hip hop and Rap!! or any bass heavy music.

It must recieve a full range input signal as someone else stated. It is nothing like a bass cube

^ Sounds bad if there is already gratuitous low end there already.

I have an 'old' Epicenter. It does indeed have a subsonic filter and IIRC it is 18db @ 27hz when the **** is 'off' and 24 or 36db/octave at 33hz when engaged. I have the manual somewhere...

In some systems at loud volume levels, the Epicenter is not going to do much, but at lower volume levels on the same system, the results are much different.

Not to sound ungrateful, this is probably alot of useful information to someone. Someone with an EPICENTER! Which I don't have. Does anyone have as much information they could add about a BASSCUBE?

If I'm correct, the original purpose of an epicenter was to restore low bass to music that had been recorded in such a manner as to lose that information. The epicenter "sees" the higher resonate frequencies that are from the lower lost information. It then replaces the lost info with it's own enhancements. Using an epicenter on music with the information already there will make it louder perhaps, but the epicenter will be doing nothing more than creating noise. Whether it's very good at it's original purpose also seems to be up for debate.

my point was that the epicenter will work with all types of music, to say that it wont work is incorrect, the results may vary, but it will do the same think with dmx as it does with black sabbath. i agree that the epicenters value is debatable
