This is about as minimum of a control scheme as I have ever seen in a subwoofer. No separate crossover frequency, roll-off slope, or phase adjustment is available. In a limited fashion, the crossover frequency and roll-off slope adjustments are essentially built-in to the preset modes. In my opinion, by trading off control flexibility for ease of use, the potential use for the Descent subwoofer becomes restricted. Although the manual states that the Descent subwoofer can augment speakers from other manufacturers, the lack of flexible control adjustments suggests that this subwoofer is designed specifically to complement the speakers from the YG’s own Peaks series. Although I did not experience any difficulty in integrating the Descent with the Tor, I still personally would prefer to see more control flexibility to allow for better integration of the subwoofer responses with those of the main speakers in a more complex placement situation. For example, the lack of phase adjustability in this case would limit the possible placement of the subwoofer in the room to achieve a smooth response transition with the mains.
