Along those lines, I am trying to come up with a new way to handle the bass. Normally, the Realiser's bass management redirects the bass to a virtualized subwoofer channel. In the new way, the Realiser would redirect the bass to the headphone output without virtualizing it (so you would not need to measure a real subwoofer), while the non-bass would still be virtualized as usual. As a result, you would hear the headphone's native bass response (which is free from room modes and other problems that a real subwoofer might have).

Effectively low frequencies from the L/R channels (80hz and below) are sent to the virtual sub-woofer channel (for the headphones) on the Realiser, which theoretically can reproduce those low frequencies better just as the true sub-woofer in the room could probably do a better job with those low frequencies. At the same time, those frequencies are rolled off quickly on the original L/R channels as played through the virtual L/R channels coming through on the headphones. |
