Overview
A powered driver backed by twin auxiliary bass drivers gives this Cambridge Audio Minx subwoofer its low end from a compact cabinet. An active crossover lets you blend it with small satellite or bookshelf speakers over a wired RCA connection.
Small size lets it hide beside a TV stand or under a desk while filling in bass that small speakers cannot reach. The listing gives almost no detail on inputs, controls or low-frequency extension, and several spec lines contradict the product type.
Who it's for
Compact living rooms, bedrooms and desks running small satellite or bookshelf speakers. Large rooms, and anyone who needs confirmed low-frequency extension, should look at a bigger sub with full specs.
Pros and cons
- Compact cabinet for tight spaces
- Twin auxiliary bass drivers
- Built-in amplifier, no separate amp
- Active crossover for blending
- Low-frequency extension not listed
- Several specs contradict the product type
- Small driver for a large room
Performance notes
Low end comes from one powered driver working with two auxiliary bass drivers, which add air movement without a larger cabinet. The active crossover sets where the sub takes over from the main speakers, and placement near a wall or corner changes how much bass reaches the listener.
