Bass Control is not only adjusting bass, but is also adjusting the phase of the non-sub speakers (after they have been individually corrected with a Dirac Live filter) to match that of the ”ideal sub” in the crossover region.
The ”ideal sub” is created by phase-aligning all subs after they have been individually corrected with a Dirac Live filter.
If lack of bass is being perceived, then this can be managed by boosting the low range of the "target curve" (The "Filter Design" page in Dirac Live).
Here is a PDF document explaining a bit more, "Bass_Control_where_did_my_bass_go.pdf?"
