Know before you buy
The back-to-back bipolar configuration is designed to cancel out internal vibrations. By neutralizing these forces, the subwoofer produces cleaner, more precise bass without the cabinet resonance often found in traditional designs.
Yes. The MilleniaSub features a slim, 5.5-inch tall aluminum cabinet, making it ideal for placement under furniture or in areas where a bulky subwoofer wouldn't fit. Its vibration-canceling design also means it remains stable even in constrained locations.
The MilleniaSub supports optional wireless connectivity, allowing you to place the unit away from your receiver without running long cables across the room. You will need to ensure you have the compatible wireless transmitter kit to utilize this feature.
The USB port is primarily used for room correction. It allows you to calibrate the subwoofer's output to match the unique acoustics of your listening space, ensuring the bass is balanced and accurate rather than boomy.
Absolutely. With a low-frequency extension down to 21 Hz and an advanced DSP-controlled amplifier, it is engineered to handle the fast, tight transients required for music while still providing the deep, impactful output needed for home theater soundtracks.
Yes, the MilleniaSub includes both RCA and XLR inputs. The XLR input is particularly useful if you are using high-end audio equipment, as it provides a balanced connection to help minimize noise and interference.
