Repeat the process to return to the default high bass setting.Īnd finally a warning! Harman does not recommend using the low-frequency mode, as the Onyx Studio 5 is not designed to use bass in normal operation. It is used to test the speaker before it is approved for sale. Playing in low-frequency mode may damage the speaker and void the warranty. You can’t really control the bass from the device itself, only from the paired device. However, there are two basic modes, high and low. In fact, you may encounter a little problem. If you need to play your music at a civilized level for the neighbors, the bass can dominate at low volumes and smile in the mid and high ranges. So either you will lose part of the middle / upper part of the track or you will play it too loud and your neighbors will end up on your door or floor.Ī few more notes on the bass, as it is a feature of the Studio 5 sound.

The Onyx Studio 5 has a massive 120mm subwoofer and 25mm highs (which is 2 passive radiators, not mentioned in the specs though), 50 watts of total system power, and a 50 Hz frequency response.
