Wāvtech bassRESTOR Bass Restoration Processor

The bassRESTOR is a 2-channel bass restoration processor that adds low-end energy by restoring bass from a low-pass feed, compatible with factory sub amps or sub outputs from aftermarket sources. It’s built for car-audio enthusiasts who want deeper, more musical bass without replacing entire sub systems.

• 2CH Bass Restoration Processor: Two-channel processing that restores bass from a low-pass signal, enhancing missing low-end energy without altering full-range signals.
• Complete Tuning Control (Effect, Width, Freq): Precisely adjust restoration depth, stereo width, and the target frequency to match your vehicle’s acoustics.
• Variable Subsonic Filter (15 Hz–50 Hz): Tailor ultra-low frequencies to reduce woofer stress and tighten bass response in your install.
• 2CH Line Driver or Line Output Converter: Flexible connectivity for driving amplifiers or converting signals to line-level, depending on your setup.
• Works with Low Pass or Full-Range Signal: Restore bass from either a sub-amp’s low-pass signal or a full-range source, maximizing compatibility.
• Multi-Function Remote Level Control: Adjust overall bass level and restoration amount per song, with the option to bypass the effect when not needed.
• Differential Balanced Inputs: Enhanced noise rejection in challenging vehicle environments for cleaner bass signaling.
• Low Impedance Outputs: Strong, stable drive into amplifiers with low impedance for better control of the restored bass.
• Bass Restoration Effect up to +18 dB: Up to 18 dB of additional bass presence, allowing more impact on tracks that lack low-end energy.
• Frequency Response: 15 Hz to >100 kHz, supporting broad audible bandwidth and consistent imaging.
• THD+N (SPK/RCA) < 0.05% / < 0.1%: Low distortion on both speaker-level and RCA paths for cleaner bass reproduction.
• S/N (SPK/RCA) >115 dBA / >114 dBA: Very low noise floor to preserve detail in the bass region.
• Auto Turn-On via DC-Offset or Audio Signal Detect: Seamless integration with various head units and power setups.
• Generated +12V Remote Output: Provides remote output to other devices for synchronized operation.
• OEM Load Detect Compatible: Designed to work with factory load-detection systems.
• Locking Detachable Power/Speaker Terminals: Secure, easy-to-service connections that resist vibration.
• Professional Grade Panel Mount RCAs: Durable, reliable connections for common car-audio installations.
• Compact Aluminum Chassis w/ Detachable Mounting Tabs: Sturdy, space-efficient enclosure with flexible mounting options.
• Chassis Dimensions: 1.1” x 3.5” x 5.2” (29 x 90 x 133 mm) — compact form factor for tight installs.

In a real-world build, bassRESTOR shines when upgrading systems that rely on factory or aftermarket sub outputs but still sound bass-light on classic rock, older hip-hop, or Banda tracks. Its low-pass-focused processing avoids full-range signal manipulation, while the remote control and auto-turn-on features simplify daily use and system integration. The combination of optional line-level interfacing, OEM-load compatibility, and a compact chassis makes it a versatile addition to sub-stage upgrades, aiming to recover perceived bass without wholesale subsystem replacement.
