Q Acoustics New Q SUB Subwoofers Are User Friendly And Affordable

The talented folks at Q Acoustics, a leading audio manufacturer from the UK, recently unveiled a trio of robust active subwoofers designed to seamlessly integrate into a variety of sound systems without breaking the bank. The Q Sub series features three models: the 8-inch Q SUB80, the 10-inch Q SUB100, and the 12-inch Q SUB120, with prices ranging from $900 to $1,200. These subwoofers are now available for purchase.

These new subwoofers are engineered to work effortlessly with both home theater setups and stereo music systems, whether paired with Q Acoustics speakers or other brands. With three different sizes, you can select the subwoofer that best fits your audio needs and the dimensions of your space. Continuous power ratings for these models range from 200 to 300 watts, with peak performance hitting between 400 and 600 watts—ensuring ample power for a full sound experience.

Setting up a subwoofer can often be tricky, but Q Acoustics has prioritized ease of integration with the Q Sub series. Each model utilizes digital signal processing (DSP), allowing for precise phase and delay adjustments, along with low pass filtering and frequency response tuning ranging from 40Hz to 250Hz. This capability ensures compatibility with a diverse array of speakers. Additionally, the subwoofers feature automatic source detection, which recognizes the signal type—be it stereo, mono, from an integrated amplifier, or powered speakers—and self-adjusts the volume accordingly. Moreover, if the sub is inactive for 20 minutes, it automatically goes into standby mode to save energy.

Constructed with a robust 18mm high-density MDF and a 36mm double-thickness baffle, each Q Sub speaker features internal bracing that enhances stability and reduces cabinet distortion—resulting in superior performance under high levels of low-frequency pressure.

The drivers are equipped with a durable steel chassis, a paper cone, and a rubber surround, with the three models available in sizes of 8, 10, and 12 inches. Here’s a detailed overview of each Q Sub subwoofer:

• SUB80 (8-inch), 200 watts continuous, 400 watts peak, dimensions: 12.4 x 12.4 x 13.6 inches, weight: 33 pounds, priced at $899
