How powerful is the Brane X?
The Brane X delivers over 200 watts of combined amplifier output through four Class-D digital amplifiers, powering its built-in RAD subwoofer, two midrange drivers, and two tweeters.
What is the volume range of the Brane X?
Volume runs from 0 dB at maximum down to -60 dB. Turning it below -60 dB silences the speaker. Each press of a volume button changes it by 1 dB. Holding a button changes it faster, 5 dB at a time.
The volume you set is kept across power cycles. The speaker never starts up silent. A new speaker starts at -40 dB.
In Soundbar Mode the volume is set at your TV or source instead, and Max Volume under Input Options sets the ceiling. See What is Max Volume in Soundbar Mode?
Does the Brane X have an equalizer (EQ)?
Yes, the Brane X has a customizable five-band equalizer (EQ) in the Brane Audio app, allowing you to adjust bass, midrange, and treble to suit your music and listening preferences. To access the EQ, select your Brane X in the app and go to EQ, where each frequency band can be adjusted from -16 dB to +5 dB.

Which Bluetooth version and codecs does the Brane X support?

Is the Brane X ported?
