So you want to add a subwoofer to your monitor setup? Studio subwoofers can be tricky things that require a little bit of audio soul searching, auditioning, and planning to pull off well. But, a well integrated sub can make a world of difference in the right circumstances.
I, for example, just added a Mackie HRS-120 sub to my HR824 speakers and am quite happy with it after some tweaking.
Since pro audio subs tend to be expensive and add complexity, there are a lot of important questions that one should ask one’s self before investing in a quality sub.
- Why do I want to add a subwoofer?
- What kind of music do I tend to work on?
- Do I even like the sound of subwoofers? Is my room suited for subwoofers?
- What are the options that make sense for my existing speakers?
