It cannot be denied that the low-frequency content in a hi-fi and surround system is decisive for the perceived sound quality and, thereby, one´s film and music experience. On the other hand, the placement of speakers is particularly critical because of the low frequency range. Resonance and standing waves can quickly occur and diminish the audio impact.
The answer to these issues lies in active subwoofers, such as the Alpha RS series from Magnat. These can be set up virtually anywhere, because we cannot locate low frequencies. And, thanks to the integrated amplifier, they are independent of the power produced by the electronics, regardless of whether it´s a stereo amplifier or a surround receiver. Two models, one with a 200 mm bass chassis, the other measuring 300 mm in diameter, allow an existing home cinema or hi-fi system, regardless of the make or model, to achieve a new, undreamt of level of quality in the deep bass range.
