AudioSource PSW100 100 Watt 10-inch Powered Subwoofer Specifications

Just the thing for your burgeoning home theater or back-room listening system, AudioSource’s affordable PSW100 subwoofer pounds out 100 rock-solid watts of low-end power, bringing high-impact slam to DVDs and greater ambient detail and instrumental heft to your favorite music.

A variable low-pass filter (LPF) lets you tailor the sub’s output to your existing speakers. By setting the LPF high (toward 180 Hz) you can fill in the bass for bookshelf speakers that may have extremely limited bass output, while a lower setting (toward 40 Hz) will supplement and perceptually deepen the output from larger, floorstanding speakers that have more of their own low end to start with.

You’re getting more than just the basics here: the PSW100 comes with a phase-reverse switch for placement flexibility (to help align the crests and dips of the different sound waves when the PSW100 and your main speakers are in different places) and auto-on signal sensing for power conservation.

You can hook up the PSW100 one of 2 ways. In the first case, you can feed the sub an RCA-tipped line-level signal from your preamplifier or surround receiver. Using this method, your receiver can most effectively route the LFE (low-frequency effects) channel from Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio, or SACD surround programs directly to your subwoofer.

Alternately, you can run speaker cable from your receiver to the PSW100 and then from the sub’s outputs to your front left/right speakers. Use of this method results in a more seamless transition from the subwoofer to your speakers since the signal arriving at your speakers has already been filtered through the PSW100’s internal crossover (the variable LPF discussed above). If you plan to listen to stereo music with your subwoofer, this might be the way to go.

Customer Review

This makes the thunder in the table even rude. Be the creation of this attention, as pointed down and pick you if you met the speaker, if you're not careful.

It took a while 'to correct the sound. It was too messy, but simply by adjusting the distance between the walls and change the direction of the port to listen to resolve this problem. I would buy again.

Excellent purchase – Thomas R. Shannon –
This subwoofer offers an impressive amount of bass for a very reasonable price. Checks to make it easy to control the level. I can not I shake the whole house if I want, or turn it off and enjoy some 'subtle whisper beautiful, when it is too late for an earthquake. I recommend this sub for anyone.

Sounds good, but no auto-on signal sensing for power conservation – R. Brunner – San Francisco, CA
This subwoofer sound good, but not for self-detection of the signal – not in the field has always said, and draws ~ 15W when not in use continuously.
