Here concludes the list of the best subwoofer stand. These subwoofer stands come with various features to help your subwoofers or speakers release an excellent quality sound. Ideally, the most optimal place for a subwoofer is in an elevated position, preferably at ear-listening level. There are a variety of ways to do this, whether its by storing it in a cabinet, on a sturdy table, mounting it to the wall or simply purchasing a dedicated stand for it.

When I was first getting interested in all things audio, home subwoofers were rather specialist devices that were only of interest to two groups of hi-fi enthusiasts: those who listened to large pipe organ recitals and those who enjoyed reggae! Things have moved on a great deal since those distant days, and today subwoofers are now considered — more for the 'domestic acceptance' factor than any potential sonic benefits — to be an almost standard part of modern hi-fi and studio monitoring systems. The Aperta Sub decouples the subwoofers from the supporting surface to prevent the physical transfer of energy that excites the supporting surface, causes room rattle and disturbs your neighbors. The Aperta Sub Series has a low-profile design and is compatible with front firing and side-firing subwoofers. The innovative shape allows the Aperta Sub Series to be positioned directly underneath the subwoofer cabinet without interference with the existing subwoofer feet.This brings us to one of the most intimidating aspects of installing a subwoofer – the best place to position it. We touched on this when discussing the orientation of a subwoofer’s driver, but it’s also important to consider how the shape and dimensions of a particular space affect a sub’s overall bass response. Easy to build - comes with all the fixings and fittings needed for fast and simple assembly, with user-friendly instructions for a hassle-free setup.

If you’re building a home cinema system then you’ll 100% want to budget for a subwoofer, but if you’re just enjoying music then a subwoofer can still bring amazing value and sound enhancements that you just won’t get with speakers alone.

What Is A Subwoofer & What Does It Do? A subwoofer is very versatile. One can place it on the floor or nearly anywhere that you see fit. However, the floor type will have an effect.

Most subwoofer amplifiers, such as the Monitor Audio IWA-250 can handle up to two subwoofers and has onboard phase, frequency and volume controls. This theory is all well and good, but I often hear people comment that they can hear where a subwoofer is placed in the room. This isn't because of some special acoustic ability on their part, though —rather, it is because of the poor performance of some subwoofers! Designs constructed at a low cost, employing inferior drivers, and those designed to favour efficiency above all else, tend to generate a lot of 'out of band' noise — lots of harmonic distortion and audible port noises, or other artifacts. These occupy the mid-frequency range, which not only makes their position easily detectable, but also obscures and masks the critical mid-range frequencies from the satellite speakers. So adding a cheap subwoofer to quality satellites will actually tend to make the system less rather than more accurate. We actually hear the effect of the environment and how it is affected by the room itself. There are a couple of things that can influence the sound that you hear: Finally, there are subs that combine a forward-firing driver with a downward-firing driver, often in a push-pull configuration where the two drivers are out of phase with each other. This approach can eliminate harmonic distortions and increase the output of the subwoofer. Should I buy a sealed or ported subwoofer?The best advice is to keep the subwoofer to the corner of the room near the listening area, or by your front speakers.
