About The GoldenEar SuperSub X Subwoofer
GoldenEar's new SuperSub Series subwoofers are ultra-high performance compact subwoofers which incorporate many recently developed unique and advanced technologies and components. The goal was to create beautifully styled, finely finished, reasonably sized subwoofers that could generate very low frequency pressure waves of extremely high amplitude, while delivering accurate and precise low frequency performance that is both highly impactful and extremely musical.
In order to achieve this, GoldenEar have incorporated a unique, patented, 360 degree dual-plane inertially-balanced driver and sub-bass radiator topology, combined with a very advanced electronics package. With two active drivers separated horizontally in space, as well as two passive radiators separated vertically, the driver to-room coupling is distributed much more smoothly, for in-room bass performance that can't typically be achieved with a single subwoofer.
The electronics package that drives the fully balanced array is a 1400 Watt Class D Digital amplifier based on the design originally developed for the GoldenEar Triton One tower. It features discrete multi-band limiting, phase perfect equalization, fully balanced and advanced reconstruction filters, and a strong focus on keeping latency to an absolute minimum. Sonically, the result is rock-solid bass response that is both exceptionally fast and tuneful for music and extraordinarily deep and powerful, in order to effortlessly reproduce the most extreme movie sound effects.
Housed within the gorgeous piano gloss black enclosure are two horizontally-opposed 8" (203mm) ultra-long-throw active drivers and two vertically-opposed 10.5" x 9.5" (267 x 241mm) planar infrasonic radiators. This dual-plane, patented dynamic inertial-balancing preserves and focuses all the energy produced by the transducers in order to more effectively move the air in the room, rather than wasting energy moving the box. It also enables you to hear all the fine subtle details in your recordings. The benefit is a new achievement in state-of-the-art subwoofer performance that, not only "rocks the house", as Big Picture Big Sound's Chris Boylan raved, but is also, "strong, pure and controlled" as Sound & Vision's Mark Fleischman wrote.
Best of all is GoldenEar's signature combination of high-end performance, superb build quality, gorgeous styling and extraordinary value. Nobody does this better than GoldenEar.
GoldenEar SuperSub X Reviews
"Sonic bliss … remarkably powerful … THEY KICK ASS, totally … down to the infrasonic" Mark Henninger - AVS
"… this is a bargain for a sub of this performance". Home Theater's Robert Kozel – Secrets Of Home Theatre
SuperSub X is "a true compact wonder" Mark Henninger - AVS
"Almost impossibly small but packing dual active drivers and twin passive radiators plus 1500W of Class D DSP-controlled power, the little X captures the realism of the concert hall, imparting a well-anchored foundation that extends into the low-30Hz range (even touching the upper 20s). Bass is full-bodied and controlled and exhibits the requisite bloom and resonant sustain expected of a subwoofer in the bottom octaves. It will mate superbly with a wide range of compacts and smaller floorstanders and fit into almost any room. Home cinema anyone? You betcha. A subwoofer of estimable shock and slam and musical subtlety that's also a bargain, to boot." The Absolute Sound Editors' Choice Awards 2023
Our Take
How can you possibly get high impact bass from a subwoofer that's about as tall, wide & deep as a vinyl record's diameter? You put drivers on four of the six sides – that's how. The SuperSub X has two opposing 8" active drivers left & right and two 10.5" by 9.5" passive radiators top & bottom. This, combined with a 1,400 Watt Class D amplifier that just won't quit, gives you incredibly dynamic bass performance down to 12 Hz that you have no right to expect from a subwoofer this size.
