Subwoofers

What makes our Speedwoofer a GREAT Subwoofer?
If you can stay awake, you might just find this interesting.

Subwoofers have to move a LOT of air, very very quickly. It’s a tough job – especially considering it has to match up with much smaller woofers in your satellites that have to move very little air. Imagine a city bus trying to catch a Porsche through a winding canyon. Its not gonna be easy.

So to help the subwoofer out, manufacturers give it a powerful “engine”, or amplifier. The added power allows the subwoofer to handle a greater load and play at louder volumes without distorting. Ever hear a subwoofer make that ugly, gurgling sound when your source demands a lot of bass? It’s a common side-effect of an underpowered amplifier being pushed to its limits.

We’ve spared no expense here. Our Speedwoofer comes with a no-nonsense 375 watt class A/B amplifier. Sure, a class D amp would have cost less; but there’s just no substitute for pure class A/B power…We checked.

But power isn’t enough. Any decent subwoofer can play loudly; what about control and precision?

This part’s a bit more complicated. While subwoofers perform, they develop huge amounts of RESONSNCE inside their cabinets.

Resonance causes DISTORTION that wreaks havoc on sound, like kryptonite to Superman. And to add insult to injury, resonance slows subwoofers down making them sloppy; clumsy even. A lagging subwoofer can’t keep up with the woofers in the rest of your speakers. And the difference is noticeable! This is a persistent problem throughout the subwoofer industry.

Here are some symptoms of resonance you may be familiar with:

- Single-Note Bass – when the subwoofer sounds like its just playing the same note over and over again.

- Slop – Bass that’s sloppy or overly boomy, not tight and accurate like in reality.

- a ‘Sore Thumb’ Subwoofer – a subwoofer that stands out– constantly drawing attention to itself, reminding you that its there. Like a model home with a shoddy add-on room; bass from a ‘sore thumb’ subwoofer never blends smoothly with the rest of your sound.

Really good subwoofers simulate real-life bass – as if there’s no subwoofer operating at all. The best way to accomplish this is to somehow eliminate the effects of resonance once and for all. This is where our subwoofer steps up to the plate.

To combat the effects resonance, manufacturers use a variety of methods to compensate for the problem. We think the better approach is to nip the problem in the bud by stopping resonance from occurring in the first place. This is exactly what our subwoofer does.

With Compression Guide tuning eliminating the vast majority of resonance build-up, the RSL Speedwoofer plays uninhibited; with the speed, precision, and control of real-life bass. And without resonance slowing our Speedwoofer down, our subwoofer’s unparalleled speed allows it to blend seamlessly with the fastest speakers – even electro statics.

The Result:

The RSL Speedwoofer is unlike any subwoofer of its kind. It’s the subwoofer that truly lives up to its name. The Speedwoofer’s bass isn’t just a display of power – its power with the same speed, precision, and control of bass in real life.
