The Sound Mechanics Of A Subwoofer

Purchasing a stereo system isn't nearly as fun unless it comes with at least one subwoofer. This loudspeaker provides a way to reproduce bass sound of frequency, even though the range is limited. The idea is to complement higher pitched sounds that you normally hear from built-in speakers. Musicians and music enthusiasts all around the country will tell you they prefer the deep tones.

When you take a look at the Polk Audio PSW505 Subwoofer it has a frequency range of 23 Hz to 160 Hz. The point is; it will bring out the best of any musical performance. Over the years the engineers at Polk have tweaked the voice coil alignment. They've also added suspension in 12" long throw driver. This is called the Klippel Optimized Woofer. The end result is the extreme volume doesn't distort the sound. Most subwoofers you find out there have this problem all the time.

During the 60s music was really an experimental process. We heard new sounds and abilities from unbelievable artists. One problem during this time was the inability to refrain from hearing "screeching" when music was played. The louder it was the better, but Ken Kreisel figured there had to be a better way. So he started designing an electrostatic speaker system that offered a much lower range of frequency. When 1973 rolled around it was time to test the first subwoofer professionally. Steely Dan was the lucky guinea pig while making the album Pretzel Logic. By 1976 there were over 300 different Sensurround systems that were placed in theaters. This was perfect for movies that provided plenty of special effects.

Eventually you could find subwoofers just about anywhere, and thanks to them being able to keep the audience from experiencing a complete sound blast they became even more popular. The realistic sound has been modified over the years, but back then Bose Acoustimass offered a 6" driver per channel. Well, this was in 1987, but 25 years later you see the Polk Audio PSW505 Subwoofer offers a 12" Bass driver. Other benefits around this cover a 300-watt amplifier and an adjustable crossover, as well as a magnetic shielding.

Sometimes when the sound is too high you will find that the subwoofers will drag vibration across the floor. Try checking the bottom of your feet and see if there is sturdy material. Then take the Polk PSW505 Subwoofer and utilize the highs and lows to test its capabilities. Soon you will find the right balance for any movie, music show, or video game you play.

20 years have gone by and now the sound has completely evolved. When you take advantage of the bass tones they will blend well with your home system for optimal performance. Placing the small main or satellite speakers near the stereo is a good choice, as well as spreading 4 or 5 others around the room. You will end up with one of the best stereo systems in your neighborhood. In fact, people will probably want to come over just to enjoy their music on your system.
