FlexBass

FlexBass is an advanced bass management and enhancement mechanism that
allows you to select each satellite speaker's type for optimal sound performance.
It comes with an adjustable crossover frequency for the boundary of the bass
signals. FlexBass will filter out the bass signals from small speaker channels and
redirect them to the subwoofer or large speakers.
Standard speakers that cannot produce low frequencies are considered "Small"
while wide-band speakers that can product low frequencies are categorized as
"Large."

Click this button to disable or enable all FlexBass functions.
Select the speaker type connected to the Xonar U3 PLUS.
If your speaker type cannot handle low-frequency signals
(bass), select "Small" speaker type. Xonar U3 PLUS will
filter out the bass signals and send them to the subwoofer
channel. If the speakers support full-range signals, you can
select the "Large" speaker type.*
*In most cases, low-cost desktop PC 2-channel speakers
are small-type speakers. Refer to speaker's specifications
or consult your speaker vendor to identify correct speaker
type. However, common 2.1 speakers with a subwoofer
should be categorized as large speakers because the
subwoofer can redirect the bass signals inside the two
channels to the subwoofer speaker automatically.
Small/large speakers are identified by their colors:
Orange: large speakers
Green: small speakers
