| | |  | | Home » NuForce - Icon - Sub Woofer (Black/Blue) | | | | | | | Description: | | Compact in size, huge in sound, the NuForce W-1 powered subwoofer has a built-in power amplifier boasting 50 watts of peak power. That's huge for a desktop sound system! It's the perfect partner for NuForce Icon desktop amplifiers and speaker systems, but also plays well with other high-quality audio gear. With its variable crossover and phase-adjustment features, the high-performance NuForce W-1 subwoofer is designed to operate seamlessly with the NuForce Icon and S-X speaker systems for a low-end extension to 50 Hz. It will bring new life to your favorite music, movies, games, and more. In terms of tempo, speed and compatibility, the lightning fast response of the W-1's 'Class-D' amplifier permits the subwoofer to operate in perfect alignment with the NuForce S-1 or S-X speaker. The W-1's adjustable crossover permits it to excel with any bookshelf or desktop speaker. The W-1 has a 5.25" highly responsive paper cone woofer. The RCA and 3.5mm stereo line inputs give you important connection options. The MDF medium density fiberboard construction with tuned port construction provides the design and rigidity that superior bass reproduction requires. Controls consist of a volume control, variable crossover frequency, 'Auto On/Off Mode Select Switch,' and continuously variable phase alignment (see below for more information on this great feature). The W-1's choice of black plus four leg colors (black, red, silver, or blue) complements and matches the Icon amplifier. As a matter of practical application, for a typical subwoofer crossover at 120 Hz, one wavelength of sound will be 9.4 feet long. For every 9.4 feet of distance difference between main speakers and the subwoofer from the listening position, there will be a 360 degree (i.e., one wavelength) phase shift. If the distance difference is half this, or 4.7 feet, then the main speakers and subwoofer will be out of phase by 180 degrees, thereby creating an audible notch at the crossover frequency. | | | Features: | |

Great Idea, too bad it's dead alreadyFeb 20, 2012
By Mom of a Teen
Actually this is dad but it's mom's account.
I was looking for just a little something to add some bass to a pair of AudioEngine A2's. I wasn't looking for a lot and didn't want to spend a lot. It sounded great and gave me just the range I was looking for the week it worked, but there in lies the problem. In one week of use it started to produce noticeable static in standby mode. This was really a problem given some of the music I listen is soft enough that the sub would go into standby during songs. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Not bad sounding but it really is just a woofer not a subwoofer as it doesn't go very low. Big problems with the W1. I'm on my second unit as the first one began distorting after a couple of months of normal office use. Now the second one has began distorting after 40 hours. I'm sending it back and asking for my money back! I need to mention that their support center is a joke. They don't answer their phones and they are very condescending!
