## Description

Compact design Spun copper imp woofer All-digital amplifier Down-firing driver International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

Review: Best value for money! - Outstanding performance in such a little box. I have wooden floors in my living room with carpet on top and i can feel the bass in my chest at 15% gain. Looks simple but great. Size is small with great performance
Review: Great sound and paired with the R-41 active shelve monitor speakers becomes heaven on earth 😉 - Yes exactly what I was expecting “ the keepers of the sound” indeed but I will update at a later date to see how it behaves with time and use 😉

Excellent subwoofer. Took a bit of tweaking to suit my listening needs. Works very well with my Wharfdale Diamond speakers and auto on off is a brilliant feature. Great low volume bass.
