Hi Im Andrew-And Im, An Audio Colleague.

In fact, I’ve had a lifelong struggle with subwoofers. Sometimes I’ve been impressed with smaller subs that perform well for their size, and certainly I can’t appreciate a small sub that plays low, but if you really want the most performance you’re going to need a big sub or two or three now today we’re looking at one of the lines. Newest subs-UK Max 15 and it’s big as the name suggests it’s a 15-inch subwoofer that while larger than most of the products, you’ll find that try and cater to the less-is-more crowd. This sub actually puts it all out there unashamed kind of like Lady Gaga except square anyway.

The Driver Is A 15-Inch Er

and what makes that a big deal is that other than Valentine’s Digital Drive series. This is the only other. 15-inch sub that they make so what’s under the hood well. It has a 750 watt digital amplifier which can hit 1500 watts of dynamic power and just as a side note that’s 525 watts more power than the next model. Down the UK max 12 so if you’re sitting on the fence as to which one to buy for an extra 240 bucks you get a lot more power and slam now power is a large factor in subwoofer performance, but the UK max also reaches down to 23 Hertz give or take 3 UK, which doesn’t seem very low and tell you notice that the full spec has it reaching 14 Hertz at its lowest cranking up the old UK meter and we put in a test disc and measured it going down to well below 20 Hertz.

In Room Now Well Have A Much

more detailed. measurement report that should be published shortly after this video review. The output of the sub is pretty impressive, and it has two ports that fire out the bottom of the sub via two flared openings. Now inside we noted a lot of dampening material, but not internal bracing no internal bracing apart from what appeared to be a very well glued seams and corners. Now that’s an area that could use some more polish, particularly given the size of the enclosure.

Now On The Back Youve Got

your connections which include your speaker level input and outputs, so that you can use a subwoofer as your crossover. This is perfect for integrated amplifiers or to channel systems as well as satellite speakers that would benefit from the 80 Hertz 6 UK per octave crossover. Of course, there are also stereo UK line inputs and outputs as well as the. variable high pass crossover control, but volume is handled by a couple of push buttons to send it up or down as needed.

I Say That But Really Im

talking about the onboard controls because the UK mech subs also come with the remote and microphone and I’m not just telling you that because you can sing Karaoke with it now wait no you can’t sing Karaoke and I didn’t try moving on what you can do, though is use the mic and set it up by putting it in your listening position and then you’ll hold down the UK button on the remote. This runs 12 20 to 150 Hertz sweep tones from the sub and calibrates the internal 5-band digital UK to compensate for peaks and dips in the frequency response due to the room and subwoofer placement. The process is super simple and there’s a. blue UK screen on the front of the sub that gives status as well as indicating the current volume level. It was at this point that we noticed something missing, namely a bypass feature for the UK.

Now Most People Wont Need To Do Anything

other than perhaps rerun the UK for a new location, but we wanted to flatten out the subsidy queue before doing any measurements. We called tech support and they told us that you have to reset the UK and it to do that you use the preset buttons in the bottom of the remote pressing 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3 2 1 will reset it back to factory standards and it worked some of the lowest base frequencies. We hit were with tracks from Switchfoot‘s Beautiful Let Down album Where this is your life absolutely slammed our listening room when the low bass synth notes kicked in during the intro. This track, then we queued up yellow the I and Doubt in their first track Planet Dada.

At This Point The Output Of

the air from the subwoofer began to far exceed the amount issuing forth from the ceiling fan above me in the room. This was chest thumping bass clean and clear and not at all booming but more attend to San Francisco earthquake kind of intensity and in there and it’s the kind of base that makes you wonder if your heart is actually starting to beat in sync with the sub and the volume was only a 25. It goes to 80 okay anyway. We also watched a bunch of movies to see how well.

The Uk Max Did With Film Soundtracks

as you’d expect a sub that does fairly well with music isn’t typically going to drop the ball on explosions, gunfire and film scores for our testing. We cranked up oldie but goodie scenes like the hundred Mile-chapter and The Incredibles and also newer movies like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part-2. The depth and percussive nature of this sub was really impressive. We can’t say enough about the UK Max 15 sub I mean it’s deep powerful musical and competitively priced at just 989 dollars.
