POLK AUDIO DSW MICROPRO 1000 SUBWOOFER SPEAKER (SINGLE, BLACK)

I just received my Polk Micropro 1000 and I am quite satisfied with the product. It really is tiny dimension compliments (my wife’s!) our living/theater space location and fills out the room with great sounding, deep bass. I have it paired with Polk RTi10′s (tower) and the CSi5 center channel. I like to hear my music and films a bit loud and I blew my final sub, an additional eight” sub, about 2 weeks ago (watching “Cloverfield”). After lots of reviewing and browsing I came across the Micropro 1000 and just knew it was going to be powerful sufficient to handle the amount of power I will be pushing by means of this small sub based on all the specs I have study. The volume maxes out at ’40′. I desired to push it a small so I set it there and skilled no distortion whatsoever. I lowered it to ’35′ and set the receiver accordingly and I am in music and film heaven. 2400 continuos watt handling is no joke. You could commit a tiny much less for a greater sub, but it will not be as aesthetically, or musically adept as this little powerhouse. I will stand by this sub and place it against any sub in the identical price tag-array. Yes, even with a bigger woofer. An additional point I want to make: I do not think it is really worth it to commit yet another 0 for the Micropro 2000 just to get a microphone, automobile-tuning and gloss finish. Let your ears do the tuning! You may wind up changing the car-tune setting anyway! Trust me, you will. It really is the very same speaker! I entirely advise this speaker. Experience cost-free to respond if you want.

I must say proper off, that most audiophiles will possibly concur with me that devoted sub suppliers like SVS and Hsu most likely do a far superior job at producing truly higher-finish sub-woofers than Polk, but holy cow, this genuinely is a gem, particularly at this price and at this dimension. I can not think the high quality and volume this small cube that is not significantly greater than a 12 pack is able to make. I have it put in a fairly huge room (20×25) and it can genuinely fill the space, practically as well as the top rated of the line SVS (which is the size of a small fridge and not specifically amusing to search at.)

Though the cone itself is only 8″ (albeit driven by a 1200W on-board amp), it really hits the very good low rumbles under 40Hz. The smaller sized speaker dimension also enables the sound to be a lot more punchy and responsive, not the boomy, muddy sound of some other subs. Whether or not or not you favor that type of sound from your subwoofer is subjective, but personally, I like my explosions to, properly, explode, not come a rumbling in on a freight train. So for me, this tiny unit truly is best.

This Polk Micropro 1000 is an upgrade that replaces my Onkyo subwoofer (Onkyo HTS790 HTIB). This Micropro 1000 is this kind of a little sub, nevertheless quite potent. It gives a extremely clean deep bass to the sound system for both music and film. No, this sub does not output annoying “booming” sound like those low cost subs. My front speakers (Front:Polk Monitor 50′s, Center: Polk Monitor CS2) do not have a good bass, but this Micropro 1000 enhances the bass powerfully in a way that you can’t actually inform if a sub is being employed. Though tiny, this sub shakes the floor if turned on substantial volume. No distortion was detected for the duration of high volume testing. It came with a handy remote management that can modify volume and a lot of other functions such as Power, mute, phase, LED…

Heat dissipation is really very good as described by Polk Audio. Not like my Onkyo sub that gets warm to the touch in the course of standby period, this sub is only warm in the course of music or film playing.

If you are a person who have restricted space in your room but want a high quality sub, pay a tiny far more and purchase this sub. Nevertheless, this sub is great for any dimension area.
