History:
The subwoofer was invented by Ken Kreisel in the 1960s. He and a partner owned a high quality sound systems store. When custumers complained about some electrostatic speakers not producing bass frequencies that conventional speakers produce, Kreisel decided to make a speaker to fill in the gap. He developed a speaker to produce only the bass frequencies the electrostatic speakers could not produce. Thus the subwoofer was born.
Fast Facts:
- Price range: $10 to $700
- Typical frequencies reproduced: 150Hz - 20Hz
- Rotary woofer: Can handle frequencies down to 1Hz
- Woofers = drivers
- Subwoofers use drivers from 8" to 15"
- 1st subwoofer developed by Ken Kreisel ('60s)
- 1st subwoofer recording: Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic
