SWS MK2


8" passive stereo subwoofer in a marine grade birch plywood cabinet with a clear polyurethane finish.

These new passive subwoofers also act as stands for our SAT MK2 and SAT MK2 Signature. They come as standard SWS MK2 or as SWS MK2 Signature with the upgraded crossover components found in the SAT MK2 Signature.
In their standard version, they are priced the same as the SATs. Again they attract a 30% surcharge for the Signature version, rather than 50% as the crossover is a lot simpler than in the SATs. Please note that the SATs are not filtered at the lower frequencies to retain their transparency. The crossover is a 12dB/octave at 150 Hz feeding a proprietary 21cm driver from Audax France. The plinth ensures stability to the whole unit and create a stable and consistent surface to the bottom mounted driver. The proximity of the plinth surface and the driver have other benefits and contributes to the linearity of the response from 40 Hz to 150 HZ +/- 3dB.
Viscoelastic pads from Les Davis Audio are fitted between the subwoofer and the satellite for perfect isolation of the two cabinets.
We will eventually have a powered version of this product. Stay tuned!

SWS MK2 Stereo Subwoofers

SPECIFICATIONS

Equipped with a down firing proprietary paper cone 21cm driver made for us by Audax, these subwoofers extend the frequency response of our SAT MK2 for at least another octave down to 35 Hz.
Their speed matches the slew rate of the satellites, perfectly matching their bottom end.
They also act as elegant and sturdy stands for them.
The plinth and the gap between it and the cabinet acts as a defined structure insuring consistent response omg any type of floor.
​That carefully tuned gap also provides some form of acoustic feedback and help filter the higher frequencies for a very linear response, resulting in an extremely articulate bass line.
Connections are via solid core OFC cables supplied. One could relate them with interconnect cables of one's choice...
