A subwoofer is a type of loudspeaker dedicated to the reproduction of bass frequencies, typically from about 20 Hz to about 200 Hz. It is difficult for small loudspeakers to reproduce frequencies below 40 Hz, especially above 100 dB, and so it is often advantageous to use a loudspeaker intended specifically for this task.

History

---

The first commercial subwoofer was developed during the 1970s by Ken Kreisel, current president of M&K Sound/Miller & Kreisel Corporation in Los Angeles. Kreisel's business partner, Jonas Miller, owned a high-end audio store in Los Angeles, and customers of some of the highest quality electrostatic speakers complained about a reduction of bass response in the electrostatics, compared to conventional loudspeakers; Kreisel's solution was to design a powered loudspeaker that would reproduce only those frequencies that were too low for the electrostatic speakers to convey and thereby fill in the missing sonic information. The first known use of a subwoofer in a recording session was for the mixing of the Steely Dan album Pretzel Logic when recording engineer Roger Nichols arranged for Kreisel to bring a prototype of his subwoofer to Village Recorders. Further design modifications were made by Kreisel over the next ten years (and continuing to the present day), and in the 1970s and 1980s by engineer John P. D'Arcy; record producer Daniel Levitin served as a consultant and "golden ears" for the design of the crossover network (used to partition the frequency spectrum so that the subwoofer would not attempt to reproduce frequencies that were too high for its effective range, and so that the main speakers would not need to process frequencies that were too low for their effective range).
