Sound systems designed for almost any application benefit from the addition of at least one subwoofer; in fact, more than one is desirable in most cases. Even components of the mix typically thought of as “upper” and “mid” in terms of frequency – for example, the female voice - include undertones in the sub bass region that are enhanced by subwoofers.

Therefore, truly natural reproduction of both speech and music requires that a sound system's output extend into the lowest octaves of the audible spectrum. Yet the tremendous length of low frequency sound waves (56 feet, 6 inches at 20 Hz) places intense demands on every element of the loudspeaker system.

The SB Series of subwoofers offers scalable solutions for extending low frequency response. Each SB subwoofer employs optimal venting, utilizing the resonance of the enclosure to maximize low frequency response by minimizing cone excursion and the resulting distortion. As a result, even the most discriminating sound professionals routinely describe their performance as "tight" - even at the lowest frequencies.

All SB enjoy high power handling capabilities, and all feature direct radiating designs and sophisticated yet highly durable enclosure construction. Driver mounting maximizes cone area and minimizes frontal area, providing acoustical performance and physical configuration well suited for creating large subwoofer arrays.

All drivers are of the highest quality, engineered by EAW to provide both the highest output and best sonic performance possible for a given form factor. A broad range of capabilities and sizes affords numerous options that can be specifically matched to a given application.

SB subwoofers range in size from a compact dual 8-inch system to massive dual 18-inch systems. Some are designed around EAW’s Virtual Array principles to integrate with KF Series full-range systems, and many are designed to be stacked and flown. In fact, the most recent addition to the line, the SB1002 large-format, high-output subwoofer, features a rigging system similar to that of EAW KF760 Series line arrays, accommodating flown arrays of up to 12 SB1002 units.

SB subwoofers are also designed for use with all modern, sophisticated digital signal processing systems to optimize the LF response. This includes EAW’s UX8800 dual-mode digital processor featuring revolutionary Gunness Focusing technology.

For all of these reasons, SB Series subwoofers are a de facto choice to meet the low-frequency needs of top concert tours, the most prestigious performance venues, packed live and dance clubs, houses of worship of all sizes, and thousands of applications in between.
