Are you thinking you need some more "oomph" when you're mixing?

The low end just isn't cutting it, and whenever you take your mixes to a bigger system you think:

"Damn, I wish I could hear that bass in my studio.."

So you've been eyeing the different subwoofers on the market. But holy smokes, those things get expensive.

Maybe a cheap one will do the trick too..?

Some of the more budget friendly brands offer more price conscious products after all...

But are they any good? Which size should you get?

And will they play nice with your speakers?

In this first part of a two-parter on subwoofers I want to show you what it comes down to when picking a subwoofer so you can be sure you're getting it right from the start.

- HEDD Audio & Acoustics Insider - What is it about? -

Welcome to this video series in collaboration with HEDD Audio! In this series I'm going deep into different aspects of studio speakers and subwoofers to show you how they work, how to use them in your home studio, and the pros and cons of different types of speaker designs. I'll be using acoustic measurements with Room EQ Wizard (REW) and Rational Acoustics SMAART, and I'll talk to experts, specialist and speaker designers. To do that I am partnering with HEDD Audio, which gives me the opportunity to go into a depth and breadth that I wouldn't be able to do on my own. I use HEDD Type20 MK2 speakers every day myself in my own studio and I couldn't be happier with how they perform. Otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to this partnership. I'm very excited to go on this deep dive with you and to show you how you can get the most out of your room and speakers.
