The Acoustic Energy AE Sub brings the brand's engineering discipline to low-frequency reproduction. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the 100 and 300 Series speakers, this powered subwoofer uses a long-throw driver and 150W amplifier to extend system response down to 28Hz without the boominess or overhang common to lesser designs. The sealed cabinet construction prioritizes speed and definition over raw output, making the AE Sub well-suited to music reproduction where accurate bass timing matters rather than pure home theater effects.
Variable crossover frequency and phase controls allow precise integration with existing speakers regardless of their low-frequency rolloff characteristics. The compact dimensions and front-firing driver placement enable flexible positioning, including wall-adjacent setups where rear-ported designs would suffer from boundary reinforcement issues. Line-level inputs accept signals from preamplifiers and AV receivers, while high-level speaker connections work directly with integrated amplifiers that lack dedicated subwoofer outputs, providing universal compatibility with any system configuration.
