ALL units have draw backs exempt the BassRESTOR. One unit being better then another is objective to the project and the expertise of the installer.

• The fact is the Epicenter is obsolete not just do to lack of features and abilities but because the price alone for what you get.
• The epicenter micro was developed after the BassRESTOR because well the BassRESTOR is everything you need in one unit and selling a device that also needed an LOC was just not ideal and it still lacks do to lack of innovation and tunability.

1. The Micro uses the same algorithmic form that the original epicenter used it requires that the signal meet a specific loss in audio and DB to engage and that means your tunning can affected and bass may seem less in songs that don't meet the pre sets.
2. Load detection is a must in 2023 so having to switch around till you get it right is just ..why ?
3. Audio sampling just the low end of the recording is great if you want minimal audio restoration and that's what you get.
4. Voltage output pre sets. The Epicenter micro manual instructs you to set the output based on the sub size. That is completely wrong and one has nothing to do with the other.

• IN conclusion the BassRESTOR is an all in one Dynamic restoration LOC that is also a line driver and that means you don't even need the gain on your amplifier to maximize its output to the sub.
• The real time analyzation of the FULL audio input from the sources unit allows it to properly and accurately restore and missing or attenuated frequency in the recording.

1. Unlike the Epicenter micro the potentiometers on the BassRESTOR: (WIDE,FREQ,EFFECT) allow you to not just select the effected range of DB repair but also let you Boost the attenuation in that audio to gain thing like audio clarity, regain audile strength in the audio and other key features.
2. Auto load detection is another most have along with the built in gain you can set it to the needs of the amplifier input to maximize the output to the subwoofer.
3. The Multi function RLC controller is another great feature that allows control of not just the output voltage but the effect in real time and even turning off the effect for song that have to much bass. ( if that's even a thing).

Most import is price for product:

• BassRESTOR w/RLC:$198.99
• BassRESTOR R2R:$240.00
• Epicenter micro:$249.99

This is a filter that limits the low end of the frequency rang passed on to the amp or the amp to the sub. The human ear can only audibly hear down to 20hz but y can feel frequency below that.

• The majority of subwoofers do not play near that range of frequency and trying to will create heat and distortion. Thus damaging your subwoofer and amplifier.
• Setting your SUB sonic filter to the lowest frequency your sub can play is a great place to be.

This would be the best option not just for frequency restoration but for tuning and accuracy.

This is the playable frequency range of a products. The rang of frequencies it can play and or process through.
