Hi, jedrider,

I use the Loki Mini to reduce the bass output to my stand-mount speakers so they don't contribute to bass nodes using stereo subwoofers. I also use the Loki to compensate for age-related hearing loss. I can bump up the 2000 Hz and 8000 Hz bands to help fill in the voids in my hearing range. It's not perfect and eventually I'll end up with hearing aids, but for now this works well.

I have powered subs (using RCA connections) with remote volume control to add or reduce output for certain music sources but the frequency roll off is set manually. I suppose you could just run the subs full range and use the Loki to adjust the bass roll off to the subs. But the Loki is not controlled remotely so it wouldn't be convenient to do that for specific music sources.
