Sunfire XTEQ12 Subwoofer Reviewed

” It’s worth noting that, at 63 and 50 Hz, the subwoofer’s distortion was relatively low; total harmonic distortion (THD, including in this case the second through fifth distortion harmonics) was 9.6 and 5.5 percent, respectively, with the second sample. Typically, I might see numbers more like 15 to 25 percent THD here. That probably sounds like a lot because we’re all used to seeing THD quoted for amplifiers, but for a sub even 10 percent THD is usually just barely audible. So the limiter keeps the XTEQ12’s distortion low and probably prolongs the life of the driver and passive radiator, but it may be preventing the sub from delivering the dynamic peaks that a less conservatively designed product can achieve.”
