From The Manufacturer

8-inch, front-firing, paper-composite transducer with high-elasticity rubber surround delivers smooth low-frequency transients. 100W Class AB amplifier (50W RMS) gives robust output with minimal distortion. Now comes included with Studio One Prime and Studio Magic plug-in suite, over $1000 USD worth of music production software. Input gain control gives -30 dB to +6 dB of continuously variable output. Continuously variable lowpass filter keeps resonances in the 50 Hz to 130 Hz range. Defeatable highpass filter removes sub-80Hz frequency content from the full-range signal sent to the main speakers. Left and right, balanced ¼-inch TRS and unbalanced RCA main inputs ensure easy connectivity.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Compact Form Factor. Nice Punch. Reasonably Priced.

Clean and Crisp Bass Production. Solid Power Despite Compact Size. Easy Connections for Input & Output. Gain, Crossover Frequency, and HPF. Versatility For Home Studio or Office.
- Sound Unlocked
With the subwoofer, movies were able to deliver room-rumbling audio that helped make for a generally immersive experience. The subwoofer is relatively larger, meaning you’ll need to find a good spot for it, but assuming you can, it’s well worth having. And, the Bluetooth support helps make it even more useful in the living room, as it means you can stream music from your phone or computer.
