Abstract
An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to systems, methods, and software products that enhance the sound and perception of bass energy in loudspeaker systems which have limited response in the low frequency spectrum. The systems, methods, and software products provide for (i) receiving one or more bass sub-bands of audio channel content, wherein each bass sub-band is separated from an audio program content spectrum including high-band energy; (ii) applying boost to each bass sub-band to compensate for rolloff of the speaker system; (iii) applying a limiter to prevent speaker saturation at low frequencies and/or high volume levels; and (iv) combining each bass sub-band along with the high band energy for sending as a recombined audio signal to the speaker system for rendition as physical sound.
