Bookshelf Speakers — Dynaudio Sub 3

The Sub 3 is a compact powered subwoofer from Dynaudio, a Danish manufacturer with a considerable reputation for driver engineering, built with substantial internal amplification in a manageable format. The Sub 3 brings Dynaudio's engineering approach to dedicated bass reinforcement suited to complementing the brand's active bookshelf models.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans a deep 22Hz to 175Hz. Internal amplification delivers a substantial 300W. At 26.6 x 27.6 x 32.0cm and 10.5kg, the Sub 3 maintains a manageable footprint for its considerable low-frequency capability.

Sound and use context

Expect controlled, authoritative bass reinforcement reflecting the exceptional 22Hz reach combined with the substantial 300W amplification, suited to complementing Dynaudio's own active bookshelf speakers such as the Focus 10.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the Sub 3 connects to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier or AV receiver's subwoofer output directly, pairing naturally with Dynaudio's own Focus 10 or other active main speakers.

Alternatives

Dynaudio's broader subwoofer catalogue offers alternatives at different scales for buyers wanting either more or less bass extension than this Sub 3 provides.
