Kanto 200W 6 Inch Powered Subwoofer - Matte Black (SUB6MB)

Product Information

The subwoofer connection on the back of the YU6 seems to bring the sub in at about 150hz, but unfortunately it doesn’t have a high pass crossover, which would remove those frequencies from the bookshelf speakers and just leave it up to the sub.

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. I got them with a subwoofer because they will be replacing a pair of Logitechs for my wife, which have a subwoofer. It has buttons to change the source and volume, as well as buttons to adjust the bass, treble, and balance. Kanto SUB6 Subwoofer Discussions | Audiophile | Drop Drop requires JavaScript to work, but it is disabled in your web browser. It provides the means to blend the frequencies of your subwoofer and loudspeakers together, working in conjunction to provide optimised audio performance.

The biggest advantage has been its tiny foot print, it's blended into the room and you don't notice it. There is also a place to screw the speaker into the stand, so you or any pets won’t be knocking it off. Then I realised that something else must be at play, as I have come to love and trust Kanto's high quality products.

Low Pass Crossover: The Low Pass Crossover is used to set the upper limit of the frequencies that Sub6 will reproduce. This is one way that I used my pair, as well as a bluetooth connection to a Google Home and a USB connection to my wife’s computer. Kanto makes a great sounding powered audio system and I will also be purchasing systems from Kanto to be used on both my 4k televisions. If your receiver, integrated amp, or processor only has a single subwoofer line output or LFE output, either the left or right input jack of the powered sub can be used. I read the reviews and was concerned about the strange "tinitus"-like hum that other reviewers mentioned.

Might not be enough for a larger room or if you really want a punch for you home theater, but if your speakers sound shallow and you want a sub without having a giant cube in your living room this will work perfectly. Powered Subwoofer: Adding a powered subwoofer to your speaker system extends the bass response produced by your existing loudspeakers and improves their midrange clarity. Stereo Inputs Although designed to be a perfect match with Kanto speakers, sub6 features stereo inputs allowing use with any source.

As with all speakers, moving the Sub6 very close to room boundaries will enhance the bass frequencies but will tend to muddy the sound.
