Introduction
About the GRIP
The GRIP offers you advanced methods for processing and
generating low frequencies for live or recorded music. It
does this via two different methods of signal processing.
First, it gives you several different means of adjusting the
character and level of the low frequencies of the input
signal. Second, it includes a proprietary sub-harmonic
synthesizer that creates sub-bass signals harmonically related
to—but not present in—the original signal. In short, it
improves the bass that is there, and creates sub-bass where
none exists.
We created the GRIP so that it adjusts only the low
frequencies of an input signal so that you can improve the
bass without sacrificing the quality of the middle or upper
ranges. Furthermore, you have precise control over which
low frequencies are processed by the GRIP. This can add a
high-fidelity sound to any musical scenario: a DJ setup, a
club PA system, sound reinforcement at a concert and even
studio or home recording projects involving any sort of
instrument.
