Overview
At 11.26 inches per side and 30 pounds, the Audioengine S8 is a floor-standing subwoofer with an 8-inch driver and a 250-watt rating, wired for connection to a receiver or amp. It is finished in black.
Audioengine builds the S8 around a wired connection rather than a wireless subwoofer link, so it needs a cable run from an amplifier or receiver's dedicated subwoofer output. Its cube-shaped cabinet and 30-pound weight point to a dedicated floor-standing unit meant to sit on the ground rather than a bookshelf or desktop.
- 8-inch driver
- 250-watt power rating
- Wired, floor-standing design
- 11.26 x 11.26 x 11.26 in, 30 lb
Who it's for
Suited to a stereo or home theater setup with a receiver or amp that has a dedicated wired subwoofer output. Not a fit for anyone specifically wanting a wireless subwoofer connection.
Pros and cons
- 8-inch driver with 250-watt power rating
- Cube-shaped cabinet fits corners or against walls
- Wired connection only, no wireless option listed
- 30 lb weight makes it less portable
Performance notes
The 8-inch driver and 250-watt power rating give the S8 the size to move enough air for low-frequency output in a room-sized setup, with the wired connection carrying the signal from a receiver or amp's dedicated subwoofer output. Its floor-standing, cube-shaped cabinet at 11.26 inches per side is built to sit directly on the floor rather than a shelf.
