Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for mid-sized rooms, the Polk PSW404 200-watt powered subwoofer makes a great addition to your home theater or stereo system. The sub features a 10-inch long-throw driver that produces a longer excursion and better linearity than most comparably sized models, along with slot-load venting that improves the bass response by dramatically minimizing turbulence, noise, and distortion. The resulting thunderous bass shakes out all the thrills and chills of your favorite movie soundtracks, while its accurate musicality makes you sit up and take notice whether you're listening to rump-shaking hip-hop or a powerful classical piece.

Contributing to the distortion-free bass response is the rock-solid medium-density fiberboard (MDF) housing, which includes a 1-inch-thick front baffle that minimizes panel resonance. Additional features include a hi-roll surround that supports longer excursion; a high-current 200-watt continuous (375 watts dynamic) power amplifier; adjustable low-pass crossover, phase switch, and volume controls; and an auto on/off circuit that automatically turns on the subwoofer when it senses a program signal. If no signal is detected, the amplifier turns off within 15 minutes.

The PSW404, which sports a genuine wood veneer finish in black, includes an unfiltered LFE input for use with low-pass filtered output jacks along with filtered speaker-level and line-level inputs. As a final bonus, the sub is magnetically shielded for safe, flexible placement near a TV or video monitor. The sub measures 13.62 by 14.31 by 16.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty on the speaker and a three-year warranty on the amplifier.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT sub for the money, October 21, 2006

This review is from: Polk Audio PSW404 10-Inch 200-Watt Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black) (Electronics)

This is a great sub for small to medium size rooms. Not just for the BOOM & BANG home theater crowd, but a MUSICAL sub that will add that bottom end punch and make the music MUCH more involving. Can think of no better way to upgrade a hi-fidelity system. A LOT of value for money spent. Will make an INCREDIBLE improvement in any system. I own TWO of these units, used in different rooms. Am using them with bookshelf speakers in the $2000/pair range. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Audiophile quality sound.

This review is from: Polk Audio PSW404 10-Inch 200-Watt Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black) (Electronics)

THIS IS A HONEY OF A SUBWOOFER.IT IS VERY POWERFUL,YET NATURAL SOUNDING.THE ONE THING POLK KNOWS, IS MUSIC.FROM LIGHT CLASSICAL FOLK, ROCK,JAZZ YOU NAME IT,YOU HERE MUSIC,NOT A SUBWOOFER.WHEN YOU POP IN AN EXCELLENT DVD,YOU ARE IN THE MOVIE.THE SYSTEM IS MATED WITH 3 CERWIN-VEGA SPEAKERS,THAT HAVE EXCELLENT SOUND ON THEIR OWN.THE LONG DISCONTINUED POLK PSW250 8 INCH SUB.WAS SIMILAR IN QUALITY OF SOUND TO THE PSW404. FOR MUSIC THE POLKS ARE BETTER THAN THE VELODYNES,IN MY OPINION.A GOOD DEAL.

This review is from: Polk Audio PSW404 10-Inch 200-Watt Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black) (Electronics)

Besides the compact size and aesthetic appeal, this sub provides all the bass you could desire without compromising on quality. The thing I like most is it's ability to fulfill any audio played and how well it blends. I have no buyer's remorse and would purchase another unit once needed. Cheers!
