The Sound Mechanics Of A Subwoofer
There are some people who purchase subwoofers with their stereo system, but never understand what it actually is or can do. A subwoofer is simply a loudspeaker that reproduces bass sound of frequency. Even though the range is limited they complement higher pitched sounds from any unit that has built-in speakers. If you ask any musician or enthusiast they prefer the deep tones a subwoofer can offer.
The Polk Audio PSW505 Subwoofer has a 23 Hz to 160 Hz frequency that will help offer the best musical performance when used. They are a major player in the subwoofer world starting with the 12″ long throw driver called; Klippel Optimized Woofer. This helps keep the sound from distorting, which is what most subwoofers have trouble with when used.
During the 60s music was really an experimental process. We heard new sounds and abilities from unbelievable artists. One problem during this time was the inability to refrain from hearing “screeching” when music was played. The louder it was the better, but Ken Kreisel figured there had to be a better way. So he started designing an electrostatic speaker system that offered a much lower range of frequency. When 1973 rolled around it was time to test the first subwoofer professionally. Steely Dan was the lucky guinea pig while making the album Pretzel Logic. By 1976 there were over 300 different Sensurround systems that were placed in theaters. This was perfect for movies that provided plenty of special effects.
Subs became so popular we started seeing them in concert and movie establishments all around the country. It kept from making the sound “blast” the audience back, and instead worked with the main speakers to provide a realistic sound. Bose Acoustimass offered a 6″ driver per channel back in 1987. Almost 25 years later the Polk Audio PSW505 gives you a 12″ Bass driver, which is well above any of their competition. It also gives you a 300-watt amplifier, as well as an adjustable crossover and magnetic shielding.
If the volume is too high it can drag some subwoofers across the floor with nothing but vibration. The best way to stay away from this is check the bottom of your feet for sturdy and steady material. When you own a PSW505 Subwoofer it will come with this feature so you can test all the highs and lows for its capability. In the end you will enjoy the right balance for any movie, music show, or even video games.
Over the last two decades the subwoofer has evolved into a very unique approach to optimal sound. Their controlled bass tones mesh well with any home system, which means you will never be disappointment. You can spread your speakers around however you wish, but the small main or satellite speakers should be close to the stereo, and then the other 4 or 5 can be spread out around the room. When it’s all said and done you will truly enjoy your subwoofers every time they are used.
