2. Set the cancellation angle. This tells the software how wide or narrow you wish the forward coverage of the subwoofer array to
3. Measurement distance – if close to the array, the angle changes. This parameter is used to adjust the cancellation angle

5. Center Frequency – Sets the center frequency below which the LF Compensation EQ will be
