TONE CONTROL / BASS BOOST
The WM9712L provides separate controls for bass and treble with programmable gains and filter
characteristics. This function operates on digital audio data before it is passed to the audio DACs.
Bass control can take two different forms:
•
•
Treble control applies a user programmable gain, without any adaptive boost function.
Treble, linear bass and 3D enhancement can all produce signals that exceed full-scale. In order to
avoid limiting under these conditions, it is recommended to set the DAT bit to attenuate the digital
input signal by 6dB. The gain at the outputs should be increased by 6dB to compensate for the
attenuation. Cut-only tone adjustment and adaptive bass boost cannot produce signals above full-
scale and therefore do not require the DAT bit to be set.

All cut-off frequencies change proportionally with the DAC sample rate.
Linear bass control: bass signals are amplified or attenuated by a user programmable
gain. This is independent of signal volume, and very high bass gains on loud signals
may lead to signal clipping.
Adaptive bass boost: The bass volume is amplified by a variable gain. When the bass
volume is low, it is boosted more than when the bass volume is high. This method is
recommended because it prevents clipping, and usually sounds more pleasant to the
human ear.
