MJ Acoustics Smart Remote (SR) is an App for iPad or iPhone. SR employs wireless communication technology for use with those subwoofers in the MJ Acoustics "Reference" and "Master-Class" series that have SR enabled hardware (from 2017 onwards). No requirement for router connection but with total autonomous communication between the subwoofer and your Apple smart device is achieved using Bluetooth LE data transmission protocol. The App is free and continually under development. Non-MJ subwoofer owners and existing legacy MJ subwoofer owners will still be able to benefit from the visual representation of the frequency response curve shown in real-time from the RTA function display. A fantastic aid to setting up your subwoofer for the best integration with your speakers in a 2 channel or multichannel system. WHAT CAN IT DO? Smart Remote offers the ability to communicate with one or more MJ Sub-Bass Systems bi-directionally enabling the App to display the exact settings the subwoofer is using. The changes made via the touch-controlled screen are employed instantly and can be made on the fly in real time as music is playing. A fantastic way to set up and fine-tune your sub-bass system for the purest of HiFi integration. The full complement of features remains available to the user along with a number of key additional features unique to this application. Each subwoofer can be allocated a Position Name. (e.g. Left or Right for Audiophile Systems) Each subwoofer is assigned a Group number 1 to 9 (up to 9 Groups). Each subwoofer can be muted, either singularly or in Groups simultaneously. All subwoofers in a Group can have their gains simultaneously increased or decreased. Real Time Analyser (RTA) provided shows visual effects of bass in the Frequency Spectrum. Real Time Analyser provides Sensitivity and Frequency Range settings. With these additional features and the already industry-leading feature set, you are assured of the purest integration and the ability to achieve this all from your chosen listening position. AN MJ SUBWOOFER IS A SUB-BASS SYSTEM LIKE NO OTHER!
