<\/p>\nAutumn is a traditional time for equipment upgrades. Today we will offer a guide for everyone who wants to enhance the bass component in their system.<\/p>\n
That is, we will answer the question of which subwoofer is worth buying this year.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaker \u2013 8\u201d |\u00a0Frequency response \u2013 from 30 Hz |\u00a0Power \u2013 200 W |\u00a0Weight \u2013 15 kg.<\/p>\n
Pros \u2013<\/b>\u00a0well made and good sounding sub<\/p>\n
Cons:<\/b>\u00a0unassuming appearance<\/p>\n
Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0excellent price\/quality ratio<\/p>\n
A semi-professional model, the active subwoofer Behringer SAT 1008 SUBA develops a peak power of 600 W or a long-term power of 200 W – for its price, this fifteen-kilogram robust subwoofer is made just perfectly.\u00a0It\u2019s gratifying that the model has RCA switching, and a sound pressure of 110 dB with an frequency response of 30 Hz will satisfy even seasoned music lovers.\u00a0Yes, there is no super detail here, but (once again) pay attention to the price!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Speaker \u2013 8\u201d |\u00a0Frequency response \u2013 from 25 Hz |\u00a0Power \u2013 80 W |\u00a0Weight \u2013 8.5 kg.<\/p>\n
Pros –<\/b>\u00a0German quality<\/p>\n
Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0sometimes lacks scale<\/p>\n
Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0a great entry-level model<\/p>\n
A compact model from a famous German company that even produces speakers at its own facilities.\u00a0The Magnat Alpha RS 8 reaches 80W of continuous power with peaks up to 160W and uses an 8\u201d long throw woofer.\u00a0The body made of thick fiberboard plates perfectly damps resonances, and the declared frequency response of 25 Hz does not seem like a joke – this bass module \u201cdigs\u201d really deep.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Speaker \u2013 8\u201d |\u00a0Frequency response \u2013 from 42 Hz |\u00a0Power \u2013 200 W |\u00a0Weight \u2013 8.85 kg.<\/p>\n
Pros –<\/b>\u00a0compact dimensions, excellent dynamics<\/p>\n
Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0frequency response could be longer<\/p>\n
Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0Bowers & Wilkins holds its own<\/p>\n
Another device that can easily fit into any interior is the Bowers & Wilkins ASW608.\u00a0During the development, the task was set to make a cool-sounding subwoofer that would provide coverage for halls up to 15-18 m2.\u00a0This worked out one hundred percent – the combination of a closed enclosure with a proprietary woofer with a Continuum diffuser gave a stunning effect.\u00a0The Bowers & Wilkins ASW608’s bass is extremely fast, dry and accurate – bravo.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Speaker \u2013 8\u201d |\u00a0Frequency response \u2013 from 40 Hz |\u00a0Power \u2013 200 W |\u00a0Weight \u2013 12.6 kg.<\/p>\n
Pros:<\/b>\u00a0elegant appearance, very lively sound<\/p>\n
Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0again, I would like more bass depth<\/p>\n
Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0a designer model that won\u2019t let you down<\/p>\n
The appearance of the UandKSound M800 II immediately attracts the eye – it\u2019s something you wouldn\u2019t expect from a subwoofer.\u00a0For its dimensions, almost 13 kg of weight ensures complete damping of cabinet resonances, and a 200-watt amplifier and 8\u201d long-throw driver provide a very marvelous, agile and precise performance.\u00a0You wouldn\u2019t expect such an effect from such a compact device.<\/p>\n
![\"4.Velodyne](\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/139_techweek.webp\")
<\/p>\n
Speaker \u2013 12\u201d |\u00a0Frequency response \u2013 from 25 Hz |\u00a0Power \u2013 500 W |\u00a0Weight \u2013 25 kg.<\/p>\n
Pros \u2013<\/b>\u00a0textured and deep bass<\/p>\n
Cons –<\/b>\u00a0for your money – nothing<\/p>\n
Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0Velodyne sets the standard<\/p>\n
The closed body of Velodyne Vi-Q12 is made of 22 mm HDF plates, and the thickness of the front wall reaches five centimeters!\u00a0The 12\u201d woofer of our own design with a double magnetic system and a four-layer 76 mm coil uses a carbon diffuser and \u201cpumps\u201d from 25 Hz.\u00a0Traditionally for the company, the entire range of DSP settings is available through the proprietary iWoofer application (including sound correction for a specific room).\u00a0Peak 900 W of amplification is the icing on the cake, and it is impossible to make any complaints about the sound of the sub.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Speakers \u2013 2 x 12\u201d |\u00a0Frequency response \u2013 from 18 Hz |\u00a0Power \u2013 600 W |\u00a0Weight \u2013 45.9 kg.<\/p>\n
Pros:<\/b>\u00a0incredibly powerful and dense sound<\/p>\n
Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0none<\/p>\n
Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0luxury high-end sub<\/p>\n
The luxurious active subwoofer MK Sound X12+ is a real hit of the season.\u00a0The model is created for enthusiasts of good sound, it uses the famous proprietary Push-Pull switching circuit in a non-isobaric configuration – in fact, both woofers are open to air and form a completely symmetrical wave with additional distortion cancellation.\u00a0The sound of the device seems to be a reference for its group, but the power looks prohibitive (carbon diffusers and 600 W of amplification work \u201cat their best\u201d).<\/p>\n

Speaker \u2013 2 x 12\u201d |\u00a0Frequency response \u2013 from 18 Hz |\u00a0Power \u2013 1,700 W |\u00a0Weight \u2013 52 kg.<\/p>\n
Pros \u2013<\/b>\u00a0equally good in both music and cinema<\/p>\n
Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0only price<\/p>\n
Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0Sonus Faber Gravis VI remains one of the most impressive subwoofers<\/p>\n
A high-end subwoofer from Sonus Faber, the Gravis VI model uses a pair of 12″ speakers and reaches 1,700 W of power.\u00a0The declared frequency response of 18 Hz looks absolutely honest – this mastodon weighing half a centner is capable of coping equally well with complex music or with the next blockbuster movie, always forming a surprisingly dense bass flow.<\/p>\n

Speaker \u2013 2 x 13\u201d |\u00a0Frequency response \u2013 from 15 Hz |\u00a0Power \u2013 2 x 550 W |\u00a0Weight \u2013 113 kg.<\/p>\n
Pros \u2013<\/b>\u00a0absolutely live performance<\/p>\n
Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0prohibitive price<\/p>\n
Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0\u201cshock and awe\u201d<\/p>\n
Magico S-SUB is based on the developments of a much more expensive \u201ctitanic\u201d sub from a High End company, but the price is still off the charts – well, it\u2019s Magico!\u00a0The unit uses a pair of the latest 13″ woofers (housed in an all-aluminum enclosure) with dual 75mm coils, each driven by a separate 550-watt amplifier (3.2 kW peak system power).\u00a0The sub operates from 15 Hz and reaches an incredible 120 dB SPL, and the realism of the performance seems to be industry standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
