The Paradigm Subwoofer Control App uses a Bluetooth connection to simplify setup and configuration of compatible MartinLogan subwoofers. App based controls include volume level, low-pass filter (frequency and order), phase, deep bass level, three preset listening modes, and control of Anthem Room Correction. A unique tone sweep feature assists users in locating areas in listening rooms where troublesome rattles or resonances may occur. A single press of a button allows listeners to initiate a tone sweep from 20–120Hz. If a rattle or resonance occurs in the room any frequency can be held, allowing the listener to investigate and identify the source of the unwanted noise. Supported Devices: • Paradigm Defiance V10 • Paradigm Defiance V12 • Paradigm Defiance X10 • Paradigm Defiance X12 • Paradigm Defiance X15

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gravis Sub Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paradigm Subwoofer Control has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Paradigm Subwoofer Control's written reviews are positive against 0% of Gravis Sub Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
