ESW-C8 Subwoofer

Bragging rights

The ESW-C8 subwoofer offers terrific performance and great features:

• Ribbed Elliptical Surround woofers that create high efficiency, low distortion
• Down firing port extends bass response

A bass-reflex design with a down-firing port, the ESW-C8 shakes things up with an 8-inch cone featuring Ribbed Elliptical Surround. This design eliminates surround distortion, so the ESW-C8 can reach lower, with greater output and fidelity.

The ESW-C8 features line and speaker level inputs and has a variable low-pass filter that is continuously adjustable from 40Hz to 150Hz. A fully variable phase control from 0 to +180 lets you integrate the subwoofer with other speakers in an Energy system.

Maximum performance tips

The three most common subwoofer locations include corners (which can result in boomy or exaggerated low frequency response), placement along a wall, away from the corner (producing moderate bass performance with increased fidelity over corner placement), or beside a front speaker (creating a better blend with the front speaker, but sacrificing overall volume). Experimentation with subwoofer placement is highly encouraged; slight adjustments can create big differences in sound reproduction. To test subwoofer placement, install it temporarily in your main listening position and walk around the listening room while playing a familiar piece of music until you find the best sounding position.
