Good evening people I need some info on the epicenters , like the ones from Audiocontrol . What exactly do they do ? Is it a great plus having one if it's free. thanks

Try the search feature it helps, there are plenty of topics on this already:

If I got one for free, I'd toss it in the trash personally.

The short of it is, the Epicenter creates subharmonics tones that it "finds" to be missing from the music. It looks for what would be harmonics of a fundamental tone, and adds the suggested fundamental tone if the fundamental isn't very strong or not found in the signal. This technology might have been semi-useful back in the '80s when the technology was developed. Anymore it's pretty much useless for it's original intent, which was to add back bass that might have been "lost" through the recording/replay methods. This isn't a problem with modern means of music reproduction, so all it does is unnecessarily overemphasize bass and increase your risk of damaging your equipment.

Haha you guys kill me with that take something free and toss it in the trash, I would at least turn around and sell it for some more duckies but to each its own (I guess yall have it like that to throw free things away then at least give them to someone to have fun with it). But I agree if you dont listen to old school music then it is useless in my eyes, but if your getting it for free then go ahead and have some fun with it just dont damage any equipment (it will distort if used wrong and cause epic failure to your subwoofers).

I don't know anyone I dislike enough I would feel comfortable giving it to, much less steal their money by selling to it them......

If you listen to modern music as in current hip hop and rap, you will not need it and are asking for trouble if you do install it. Impious' description should answer as to why not to install it if your listening habits are mostly rap and hip hop.

If it's free take it and sell it!
