Know before you buy
The WS-6.2 uses two horizontally opposed 6.5-inch woofers that cancel out physical vibrations. This keeps the subwoofer stable on your floor and prevents unwanted resonance from traveling through your studio furniture or floorboards.
Yes, it is capable of a 120 dB maximum SPL and reaches down to 27 Hz. It is designed to provide professional-grade low-end monitoring in a footprint significantly smaller than traditional studio subwoofers.
The subwoofer features a built-in 80 Hz high-passed output. You connect your audio interface to the subwoofer, and then connect your monitors to the subwoofer's output, which automatically handles the crossover for a seamless transition.
The footswitch jack allows you to quickly bypass the subwoofer and the crossover. This is useful for checking your mix without the subwoofer engaged to ensure your low-end balance translates well to smaller speakers.
