High End acoustics manufacturers have “fallen in love” with subwoofers – and the Swiss manufacturer Stenheim has introduced the active subwoofer Stenheim Alumine Sub. The model can be an excellent partner for expanding the bass of the branded Stenheim Alumine Two and Two.Five loudspeakers, as well as complement the speakers of other companies.
Stenheim Alumine Sub uses a built-in 1200 W amplifier and offers all the capabilities of DSP (you can adjust the crossover frequency, gain level and phase, adapting the sound of the subwoofer to the room). 2 × 10″ (26 cm) long-throw woofers guarantee bass from 20 Hz.
The Stenheim Alumine Sub case is all-aluminum, with a three-chamber design and an isobaric circuit that provides constant pressure between the two speakers – which reduces distortion. Active The Stenheim Alumine Sub subwoofer is now available for purchase at a price of 17,500 euros.
