{"product_id":"argonaudiomalmosub8weiss","title":"Argon Audio Malmö Sub 8 Active Subwoofer, White (Each)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Argon Audio Malmö Sub 8 in White is an active bass-reflex subwoofer combining a 20 cm long-throw driver with a built-in Class D amplifier. It complements stereo and home cinema systems in the range below 100 Hz, where compact speakers drop out by design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Malmö Sub 8 in White?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite walls, bright furniture, plenty of light – in rooms like these, a black cube stands out immediately. The white finish takes that effect away from the subwoofer without changing anything technically. 100 watts RMS drive the driver, 200 watts stand ready in reserve for transients, and the port at the base keeps the dispersion even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnection runs via a single RCA input that accepts line and LFE level. There's no connection for speaker cable, nor a pass-through output to a second subwoofer – this unit is deliberately built for the one clear use case. At 27 centimetres wide and 9 kilograms, it stays portable enough to try out different locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Malmö Sub 8 in White suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: if you want to daisy-chain several subwoofers or connect an amplifier with no preamp output at all, this isn't for you. But if you want to complement an existing system with a bright design and extend the bass range of your compact speakers downward, you get plenty of solid technology here for little effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact, unfussy and pleasantly understated in White – the Sub 8 does its job where it belongs, and doesn't push itself forward otherwise.

The adjustment range runs from 40 to 120 Hz. If the crossover is handled by an AV receiver with its own bass management, turn the control on the subwoofer to the top end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow large can the room be for the Malmö Sub 8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn living spaces up to around 25 square metres, the Sub 8 performs confidently. Beyond that it still provides a foundation, but has to work noticeably harder. For larger or open-plan rooms, the Malmö Sub 10 with its 25 cm driver is the more relaxed solution – even at the same amplifier power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the phase switch on the subwoofer for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt flips the signal by 180 degrees, compensating for timing differences between the subwoofer and the main speakers. If the sub sits far from the front, the bass could otherwise partially cancel out. Simply compare both settings with the same piece of music and keep the stronger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Malmö Sub 8 in White from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause with us you don't just get a box, you get an assessment: does the unit suit your speakers, your room, your way of using it?
