Why Some Subwoofers Never Feel Quite Right

When bass is muddy or boomy most people automatically point fingers at the subwoofer. More times than not the amplifier driving it is what’s responsible for the problem. Even a quality subwoofer needs clean amplification to sound tight, controlled and like it has substance rather than sloppy and bloated. That is where things start to change with the AudioControl RS 1000. Why buy a subwoofer with an entry level amplifier and hope it sounds good enough? With RS 1,000 you gain significantly more control over how the bass reacts in your room.

That control is apparent as soon as you listen for it. Explosions sound louder without being sloppy, drums sound tighter, and low-end effects remain tied to your main speakers. Sure, the RS 1,000 puts out serious grunt, but it never seems to try forcing bass into the room just to make itself sound big. Everything is controlled and refined, especially noticeable during longer movie sessions where a normally aggressive subwoofer can become fatiguing.

Bass Changes Completely Depending on the Room

Move a subwoofer a few feet and the entire room can sound different. Seats can lose bass or overwhelm the front speakers with too much. RS 1,000 begins to eliminate this problem with its powerful DSP allowing finer adjustments with EQ, delay, crossover points and even phase. Instead of battling the room you have an amplifier that helps your subwoofer tune into it.

Planning layouts also changes when thinking about subwoofer integration as part of the room’s design. Where it’s placed is important, but making sure it’s tuned properly is equally important. Features such as custom speaker profiles, multiple inputs, and flexible control options allow RS 1,000 to tie into the rest of your theater system without unnecessary headaches at the gear rack.

Built for Dedicated Theater Systems

RS 1,000 also lends itself well to smart homes and multiroom environments where you need it to work reliably every day. Built-in IP control, Ethernet connectivity, and flexible integration options allow AudioControl RS 1000 to play nice with the latest home automation controllers. The compact 2U chassis is also a big bonus if rack space is at a premium.
