Boost your existing speaker system’s output by adding a subwoofer to it

Bass desires

 

1 Resonating chamber

The torus-shaped cover funnels the speaker energy upwards, so the subwoofer sounds best on the floor.

2 Amplifier

The bass unit also includes the amplifier. It only outputs 20W, but that’s enough for a normal-sized room.

3 Power

The power connector requires 16V DC and at least 1.5A. Most DC adaptors only supply 12V.

4 Satellite connection

The DIN connector is for the satellite speaker with the volume control. An RCA plug connects the other one.

5 Input cable

The analogue audio signal comes through an ordinary stereo headphone phono jack.

6 Volume control

There’s no off position for the speaker, so you have to disconnect the power to turn it off.
