A Basic But Meaningful Article On Subwoofers.


I subscribe to the Trinnov news letter as I am very interested in this companies products. In this month's newsletter was the following article on subwoofers, from the horse's mouth so to speak.

I have to say I skimmed it and I agree with most of it. 

In particular, the idea that crossover integration for the average audiophile is way too hard. Also this line:

You might be better served crossing them over at 75-80 Hz in order to free up their available excursion for midbass and higher frequencies.

Absolutely true for many speakers.  Too many audiophiles try to be purists, and crossover as low as they can but in fact 80 Hz is a wonderful sounding crossover point by comparison.

I wrote a little about this here:
