They say size doesn't matter. Well, at least as far as subwoofer engineering is concerned, size DOES matter. And since we're on the "big-bigger-biggest" topic, it's high time we introduced the world's most fearsome subwoofer installation, a custom job made by Royal Device, an Italian company speci... |

Would it be too much to say that a certain fridge is very cool? The guys at Kicker headquarters have actually thought about making such words come closer to reality and have managed to create what they call the BassFridge. Now, things are just starting to get weird: we're talking about a very common, high-tech, ... |

Now, I know that in the audio industry, thunders are traditionally associated with bass and low-frequency sounds, but it seems like having all sorts of subwoofers named after the Norse thunder god Thor might look a bit too simple. Beyond this naming issue, it's the technology which counts and bring either glor... |

Gizmodo have published a picture of the latest subwoofer from Audiovox, codenamed FPS10. Nothing that interesting I might say if the PFS10 wasn't a weird unit, meaning a flat subwoofer. As weird as it may sound, it looks more and more like subwoofers no longer have to be the immense, bulky units giving us a seri... |

Still, I know no one to have dealt with the Hemp series loudspeakers from Omega to tell me how it feels; ah, sorry, how they sound like. Nevertheless, if they're still making these speakers with cones made from hemp, it means that there are people buying them...and since they're also in the high-end class (... |

So, you decided to heavily redecorate. Or have your neighbors go crazy. Or are you conducting a series of experiments on yourself, trying to find out how does the human body (you) withstand extreme bass. Whatever your purpose would be, there goes the newest solution to your hardware: the brand new PC Ultra-13 subwoof... |

Just as with visuals, next generation video games require top notch equipment for audio output, if you're looking for the ultimate experience. And you should - that's why you've gotten yourself an Xbox 360, right? Well, in case your old sound system or the stereo speakers on your TV suck, here's a... |

Now this is really interesting: will our mobile phones sport subwoofers? I mean, subwoofers that really sound like most serious bass machines and not like crappy bass drivers in stupid audio gear sold by the ton? Panasonic says they will…Yesterday, in a fresh press release the Osaka crew announced that they are curre... |

The problem emerged ever since people started to think to bring serious sound in their homes: of course, it was very neat and cool to watch movies in the comforting intimacy of your home while enjoying the true sound of a cinema, with blasting effects and rumbling explosions, all entrancing you and offering such an i... |

As notebooks are becoming the computing solution of choice for an increasing number of users, manufacturers around the world struggle to come up with all sorts of gimmicks that should make their products a lot more appealing to a wider range of customers. And a very good example of this trend is the latest release fr... |

Some people are never satisfied with the bass they can have and are constantly craving for more. Now, some of them are right because in large installations not having enough "credible" bass equals a catastrophe and no matter how much mids and highs you might have, things will simply go down the drain.Regardless of wh... |

It's true: TruAudio really offer true sound! And they are not OK with just releasing all sorts of good looking speakers meant for your in-wall or in-ceiling installations - they know that you need bass and they'll give you plenty of it.The new SUB series from TruAudio speak directly from their commercial na... |

I have written about the France-based excellence-producing company named Cabasse - they're sworn on one thing solely: making the best-sounding loudspeakers available to man, at any cost. And truly, I guess that the price is one of the last things they think of when designing new speakers. Their last release sell... |

I simply love the world of design! I mean, how could anyone not love it, especially as it comes each day with either new things in new shapes or old things in new shapes? It's a constant turmoil for drawing the public attention towards the emergent things.Some loudspeaker manufacturers (like Cabasse) prefer thin... |

By default, music is nothing without proper gear for both creating it and listening to it and people, having understood such a simple thing, began building serious audio gear. Now, it doesn't necessarily have to cost $25,000... well, if you're a rich audiophile and would rather spend such money on top-of-th... |

Have you ever wanted to have your own earthquake? I guess not. But I am sure that at least on one occasion you wanted your room either bigger or to have your sound system's loudspeakers placed somewhere else while still be able to enjoy your favorite music.Now, as I presume you figured it out, you're not th... |

Each time we speak or at least think about surround sound the image which pops in front of our eyes comprises a large number of speakers spread throughout the room and most of the time, the inhabitant of that room having problems finding either the perfect listening spot or the way to properly arrange the sum of spea... |

Now, let's face it, there's bass and then there’s bass: most of us brag about what we have in our homes or (even more bragging) in our cars as far as sound gear is concerned. Well, no matter how stuffed is your car with audio, believe me it's crap! And I mean CRAP! You want to know what Bass is and wha... |

Again, looks like the world is turning to extremes: either low-end, entry-level audio gear any poor third-world person could finally afford or top-shelf equipment meant to rock the "finest" ears. And since the goal of these articles is to show you the nicest gear around, we'll let the entry-level aside for now a... |

Electrostatic speakers have been around for more than 50 years now and few of you knew that (count me in). The principle is fairly simple: a membrane vibrating between two electrostatically charged plates and thus producing sound. Everything is quite cool so far, especially the fact that this kind of speakers is real... |

So, what does a man do when he can't find bass systems large enough? That's right, such a man will go DIY (DoItYourself) and build gear to meet the needs. Sometimes, the quality is better than factory-made equipment; after all, it's a hand-made piece of gear; other times, the costs are so big that only... |

JBL made a step towards wireless "loudspeaking" and issued the On Air Control 2.4 G set. Now, what can sound more beautiful than a leading brand working on new tech and providing neat solutions? Maybe seeing that new gear actually is exactly what its creator said it would be? Let's see!Usually, JBL needs no pres... |
