FAQ
Do I need a studio subwoofer?
Helpful for bass-heavy music if your monitors are small. In an untreated room, bass traps often help more than a sub.
Should the sub match my monitors?
Same-brand pairs make crossover setup easier, but any good sub works if you set the crossover and level carefully.
How current are the prices?
