The Audiophile's Guide: The Subwoofer

When most people think of subwoofers, they imagine thunderous home theater explosions or car audio systems that rattle windows. But there's so much more to these specialized speakers than just raw power. In The Subwoofer, we explore the fascinating world of deep bass reproduction and why properly integrated subwoofers are essential for both music and movies. This guide demystifies the art and science of bass. You'll discover why the spot where you sit for the best stereo imaging isn't necessarily where the bass sounds best, how multiple subwoofers can solve room mode problems, and why "fast" or "slow" bass is a myth that needs busting. Whether you're building a two-channel music system or a home theater, this book will help you understand how to choose, place, and integrate subwoofers for seamless bass that doesn't call attention to itself. Because the best subwoofer is one you hear with your chest but can't point to with your ears. Written in plain language but backed by decades of experience and engineering knowledge, The Subwoofer is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand and implement deep, accurate bass in their listening room.
