Pioneer SW-8

Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:54:22 -0400

The Pioneer SW-8 is a 20-pound, 100W 8” subwoofer featuring a vented, bass-reflex enclosure for an extended bass response across a 38Hz-150Hz frequency range. Featured are phase and frequency controls for a customizable setup, and high & low-level inputs for a flexible installation. Though the SW-8 is smaller than many of its large 10”, 12”, and even 15” competitors, it has been reported to perform exceptionally well. The compact enclosure allows it to deliver quality bass that is clear and loud, but not boomy or rattle-some. It’s recommended mainly for watching television (movies) or playing computer games. It’s definitely not for partying.

Velodyne DLS-5000R

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 11:30:48 -0500

The Velodyne DLS-5000R subwoofer is a monster, both in size and sound. It has a large cabinet size, measuring 21" x 18.4" x 20.8". This large cabinet size is needed to house the large woofer size, measuring 15" in diameter. To move such a large woofer, Velodyne made sure there was enough power to drive it above and beyond most people's needs. The force behind the woofer is a 1200watt Dynamic, 600watt Continuous amplifier. Due to the larger size of the subwoofer, there is no metal heatsink sticking out from the back, as the movement from the woofer is efficient cooling for the powerful amp. This helps to save space as it is quite large already. It comes with a small, compact remote with controls for volume, phase shift, a night mode, and 4 sound presets including Movies, R&B-Rock, Jazz-Classical, and Games. The subwoofer itself features an adjustable low-pass crossover from 40Hz-120Hz, as well as a "direct" setting that filters no frequencies up to the 250Hz cut off. This is all adjustable by means of a dial placed on the rear of the sub.

ICEpower amplification technology ensures efficiency and power in a small package without any risk of overheating. The BeoLab 2 also eliminates any of the disruptive vibrations which sub-woofers are known for due to dual passive loudspeakers and a rubber ring base. Additionally, the BeoLab 2 can be placed anywhere the user desires without eliminating the BeoLab 2's sound quality.

The BeoLab 2's 9" flat diaphragm woofer provides its 23-120Hz low-end range while Bang and Olufsen's proprietary ICEpower technology ensures that the BeoLab 2 runs efficiently and at a low temperature. Two internal passive loudspeakers placed opposite one another help to eliminate any of the disruptive vibrations associated with sub-woofers, along with an insulating rubber ring base. Manual filters allow the user to adjust the levels of the BeoLab 2 in order to adjust for placement, effectively allowing the BeoLab 2 to be placed anywhere in a room without disrupting the setup's effectiveness. The BeoLab 2 is available in aluminum or white.

In order to produce bass that’s beyond restraint, the Omni S10 packs advanced materials and exclusive technology into one exceptionally designed enclosure.

HSU Research VTF-3 MK 2 12-Inch 350W Subwoofer

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 16:42:02 -0400

The Key to Uncompromising Sound Is Giving Choices The VTF-3 is the more powerful 12 inch cousin of our well received VTF-2. For those that have larger rooms or who demand more from their subwoofers, this puppy packs a 350 Watt punch and maximum extension down to 20 Hz. For longer life, the woofer has a rubber surround and poly-cotton spider. The poly-cotton spider is about 10 times as wear resistant as a standard cotton spider.

All subwoofer designs, especially low cost subwoofers, involve tradeoffs in design. You cannot have a small subwoofer that goes very low, plays very loud and costs very little. Traditionally, the engineer decides what tradeoff he or she thinks is best for the consumer. The consumer has to take it or leave it.

The VTF series changes all that. It allows you, the user, to choose the tradeoff. If you enjoy music that is loud but does not have much deep bass, set the VTF series for max output. That way, you get maximum dynamic range with the lowest distortion. If you like music with deep bass, set it for maximum bass extension to reproduce the deep bass accurately. You can even switch between the two modes depending on what you play. That means effectively you get a subwoofer that can play loudly, and can play low, all in one, at one low price!
