Purchasing a stereo system isn’t nearly as fun unless it comes with at least one subwoofer. This loudspeaker provides a way to reproduce bass sound of frequency, even though the range is limited. The idea is to complement higher pitched sounds that you normally hear from built-in speakers. Musicians and music enthusiasts all around the country will tell you they prefer the deep tones.
The Polk Audio PSW505 Subwoofer has a 23 Hz to 160 Hz frequency that will help offer the best musical performance when used. They are a major player in the subwoofer world starting with the 12″ long throw driver called; Klippel Optimized Woofer. This helps keep the sound from distorting, which is what most subwoofers have trouble with when used.
Back in the 60s it was a time for experimenting with music. Usually the louder the better, but the “screechy” sound wasn’t very inviting so Ken Kreisel decided to take a different approach. Over the next decade he perfected a electrostatic speaker system. This came with a woofer so the frequency range would be lower. Unfortunately it wasn’t until 1973 that the first subwoofer was tested professionally. This is was done by Steely Dan while making Pretzel Logic. Throughout the next 7 years there were various scenario, but just 3 years later we saw 300 Sensurround systems throughout several theaters. It provided a great way to help with sound effects in movies.
Eventually you could find subwoofers just about anywhere, and thanks to them being able to keep the audience from experiencing a complete sound blast they became even more popular. The realistic sound has been modified over the years, but back then Bose Acoustimass offered a 6″ driver per channel. Well, this was in 1987, but 25 years later you see the Polk Audio PSW505 offers a 12″ Bass driver. Other benefits around this cover a 300-watt amplifier and an adjustable crossover, as well as a magnetic shielding.
If the volume is too high it can drag some subwoofers across the floor with nothing but vibration. The best way to stay away from this is check the bottom of your feet for sturdy and steady material. When you own a PSW505 Subwoofer it will come with this feature so you can test all the highs and lows for its capability. In the end you will enjoy the right balance for any movie, music show, or even video games.
20 years have gone by and now the sound has completely evolved. When you take advantage of the bass tones they will blend well with your home system for optimal performance. Placing the small main or satellite speakers near the stereo is a good choice, as well as spreading 4 or 5 others around the room. You will end up with one of the best stereo systems in your neighborhood. In fact, people will probably want to come over just to enjoy their music on your system.
