A subwoofer is a loudspeaker designed to reproduce low-pitched frequencies, typically below 200 Hz for consumer subwoofers, although professional subwoofers may reproduce frequencies as low as 5 Hz. Subwoofers are used to augment the low-frequency response of loudspeakers that are unable to reproduce the entire audible frequency range.
Subwoofers are often used in home audio systems, car audio systems, and professional sound reinforcement systems. In home audio systems, subwoofers are used to provide a more immersive and impactful sound experience, especially for movies and music with deep bass. In car audio systems, subwoofers are used to enhance the bass response of the car’s audio system, providing a more powerful and enjoyable listening experience. In professional sound reinforcement systems, subwoofers are used to provide low-frequency support for live music performances and other events.
