FAQs Questions / réponses

What is the difference between a subwoofer and a subwoofer?

In reality, there is no functional difference between a subwoofer and a bass cabinet. These two terms refer to the same type of acoustic speaker, specifically designed to reproduce the lowest sound frequencies, generally between 20 Hz and 200 Hz. The term "subwoofer" is the English technical name, while "bass cabinet" (or "caisson de basse" in French) is the equivalent commonly used in the fields of public address (PA) systems and home cinema.

Why add a subwoofer to my column or satellite speaker system?

Adding a subwoofer to your audio system, whether it consists of column speakers, satellite speakers, or a Line Array system, allows you to significantly enrich the sound experience. It handles the reproduction of infra-bass frequencies that your main speakers cannot reach alone.

This results in deeper, punchier bass and better overall dynamics, essential for music, action movies, or professional PA events. Furthermore, it relieves your main speakers of low frequencies, allowing them to focus on mids and highs for increased clarity.

How to connect an active subwoofer to a mixer or amplifier?

Le branchement d'un caisson de basse actif dépend de votre équipement. Généralement, vous pouvez le connecter de plusieurs manières :

  • Sortie LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) ou Subwoofer : Si votre amplificateur ou table de mixage dispose d'une sortie dédiée (souvent RCA ou XLR), c'est la méthode la plus simple et la plus efficace.
  • Sorties Ligne (RCA ou XLR) : Connectez les sorties ligne de votre table de mixage ou préamplificateur aux entrées ligne de votre caisson de basse.
  • Entrées Haut Niveau (High-Level Input) : Certains caissons actifs offrent des entrées qui se connectent directement aux borniers d'enceintes de votre amplificateur. Cela permet au caisson de recevoir le même signal que vos enceintes principales.

Il est crucial de consulter le manuel de votre caisson et de votre amplificateur pour un branchement optimal, et d'ajuster ensuite les réglages de phase et la fréquence de coupure.

Which subwoofer to choose for professional outdoor or indoor sound reinforcement?

For professional sound reinforcement, the choice of a bass cabinet (or professional subwoofer) will depend on the size of the space (outdoors, concert hall, club), the required power, and the type of music.

Favor active amplified subwoofers with high RMS power (often 1000W, 1200W, 1600W and more), equipped with large diameter drivers (15 or 18 inches) and integrating a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for precise tuning.

Models with an optimized bass-reflex design and XLR connectivity are ideal for easy integration into a Line Array system or a complete PA system. Also, consider robustness and ease of transport for mobile events.
