RATTLE YOUR PLANET
SUB HARMONIC GENERATOR
Thank you for purchasing the Peavey kosmos!
The kosmos is a low-frequency energy and stereo image enhancement system that turns the minor
foreshocks of an input signal into a sound that is off the Richter scale. It can provide planet-rattling
bass while simultaneously causing the vocals to stand out in a mix. In operation, its sub-harmonic
(QUAKE) processor watches the source material, analyzes the bass, then generates additional low
frequencies an octave below the original. The circuitry tracks the original bass without the mud of
other bass processors, and is tuned to your speaker size for best performance. The QUAKE's
activity is seismically monitored and indicated by an LED. Its output level is fully adjustable.
In addition to the QUAKE process, there is an additional bass boost circuit (THUD) tuned an octave
above the sub-harmonic range that can be used to fill in and fatten out the low end. The left/right
stereo image can also be intensified with the XPANSE control, giving improved separation and
clarity (atmosphere).
All inputs and outputs are balanced. To guarantee proper levels, an input gain control is provided. A
0 dBu green signal LED and a +10 dBu red signal LED assist in input level setting. The subwoofer
output has a built-in crossover and independent level control allowing an equalized bass signal for
systems with subs. The effects, including the added QUAKE and THUD signals sent to the sub
woofer, can be bypassed for the occasional reality check, but once you've been to Emerald City –
Kansas will never be the same! So ditch the ruby slippers, Dorothy.
