Bass management reroutes low frequencies from small speakers to shared subwoofers.

Evidence

Bass management is a signal processing option in multichannel receivers and surround processors with which it is possible to extract the lowest frequencies from those individual loudspeakers identified as “small”, combine them, add them to the low-frequency effects (LFE) channel and deliver the combination signal to a subwoofer output and/or to full bandwidth loudspeakers (identified as “large”) in the system. — Toole, Floyd E, Sound reproduction- the acoustics and…, 772
