Subwoofer Reviews

This graph shows the quasi-anechoic (corrected for on-wall boundary gain and employing close-miking of all woofers) frequency response of the Habitat1 subwoofer (blue trace).

The Habitat1’s close-miked response, normalized to the level at 80 Hz, indicates that the lower –3-dB point is at 26 Hz and the –6-dB point is at 25 Hz. The upper –3-dB point is at 89 Hz using the LFE input. Please note that the response is +9.32 dB at 54 Hz, making the crossover and level settings required for proper integration tricky at best.— MJP
