Subwoofers

About the Subwoofers range

Choose the driver size, frequency response and maximum output for your room or audience. Smaller 6 to 8 inch studio subwoofers suit desktop setups and compact rooms, while 10 inch models provide more low-end headroom. Live sound systems commonly use 15 or 18 inch PA subwoofers for higher output and extended bass. Check the crossover range, phase control, input and output connections, and amplifier design. A variable crossover helps match the subwoofer to your main speakers, while published dimensions and weight help with placement and transport.

Match the subwoofer to the system it will join. Studio models generally use balanced inputs and outputs, allowing your audio interface to feed the subwoofer before the signal passes to the monitors. Set the crossover near where the monitors begin to roll off, then adjust by ear and room response. PA models need suitable mixer or speaker outputs, and should be matched to the mains for connection type, output level and application. Do not choose by wattage alone, and remember that a larger cabinet needs more floor space and transport capacity. All products here are subwoofers, organised by their listed specifications and intended use.
