If you are planning some epic movie nights to catch up with all the Oscar winners and nominees, Q Acoustics’ new subwoofers promise to make the movies even more fun. This is because extra bass is always extra entertaining, whether it is to put the sub -the drug, make the conclement more compelling or make Emelia Pérez … yes, still terrible, but higher.
Instead of starting a single sub, Q Acoustics launches a fleet of them: 8-inch Q Sub80, 10-inch Q Sub100 and 12-inch Q Sub120. All three are designed to match Q Acoustics’ own speakers, of course, but they are also for any existing 7.2, 5.1 or 2.1 system.
Q Acoustics Q Subwoofers: Key Specifications and Pricing
These are active subwoofers with adjustable low pass filtration and digital signal processing. DSP is designed to make location much more flexible and work with fine delay adjustments and phase infringement changes to adjust the time of sound arriving. Q Acoustics says it means easy installation without having to get a Pro installation round.
The Low Pass filter offers frequency adjustment from 40Hz to 250Hz, which allows them to play nicely with the low end of all speakers they are working with. And the source section can detect whether incoming signals are stereo or mono and adjust the signal increase as well.
The power amplifier is a specially designed model that includes DSP, power amplifier and power supply. There are four digital power amplifiers in a parallel bridge-bound load configuration, reducing the output impedance and providing more efficient heat drainage, and it can deliver up to 300W continuous power and 600W peak. It is in the largest 12-inch model; 8-inch is 200W/400W and 10-inch is 250W/500W. Harmonic distortion is very low: Less than 0.1% THD up to 300W.
All three models are available now and the prices are:
