Cambridge Audio MINX X301 300W Subwoofer

The Cambridge Audio Minx X301 Subwoofer proves that you don't need a refrigerator-sized box to get earth-shaking bass. Packing a massive 300 watts of power into a cabinet that is barely a foot tall, this subwoofer is a marvel of miniaturized engineering. It is designed to perfectly complement the Minx satellite speakers or any other system where space is tight but compromise is not an option. With its high-gloss finish and discreet profile, the X301 hides in plain sight while delivering the deep, controlled low-end impact that brings movies and music to life.

KEY FEATURES

• High Power Output: 300W digital amplifier ensures tight, punchy bass with plenty of headroom.
• Dual Driver System: Features one 8" active woofer and one 8" Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR) for massive output.
• Digital Signal Processing: Real-time DSP monitors the signal to prevent clipping and distortion at high volumes.
• Compact Cube Design: Small form factor with a premium high-gloss finish fits easily into any living room.
• Total Control: Gain, phase, and crossover controls allow for seamless integration with any speakers.
• Auto-On Function: Automatically powers up when a signal is detected and saves energy when not in use.

300 WATTS OF CONTROLLED FURY

At the core of the Minx X301 is a sophisticated 300-watt digital amplifier. Unlike lesser subwoofers that lose composure when pushed, the X301 uses an active Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to monitor the audio signal in real-time. This intelligent system ensures that the driver excursion remains within safe limits, preventing the "muddy" distortion that plagues other compact subs. The result is bass that hits hard and loud but remains tight, articulate, and musical, whether you are listening to a delicate cello line or a thunderous explosion.

TWIN DRIVER TECHNOLOGY

To generate big sound from a small box, the X301 employs a clever "Twin Driver" arrangement. A forward-firing 8-inch active woofer provides the primary punch, while a downward-firing 8-inch Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR) reclaims the energy from inside the cabinet to boost the lowest frequencies. This design eliminates the air noise (chuffing) associated with traditional ported boxes and vastly increases efficiency, allowing the X301 to deliver a room-filling performance that belies its diminutive size.

DESIGNED FOR LIFE

The X301 is built to fit into your home, not take it over. Finished in a stunning high-gloss lacquer (available in black or white), it is scratch-resistant and elegant enough to be placed on display. The rear panel offers a full suite of controls—including volume, crossover frequency, and phase—making it easy to blend the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. Once set up, the smart "Auto-On" mode means you can forget about it; the sub wakes up instantly when the music starts and sleeps when it stops.
