Know before you buy
By handling the lowest frequencies, the V2W relieves your main speakers from the burden of deep bass reproduction. This allows them to focus on mid-bass and midrange frequencies, resulting in improved clarity and reduced distortion across your entire system.
No, the V2W features a built-in amplifier. It is a self-powered unit designed to connect directly to your processor's dedicated subwoofer output.
The V2W is engineered for both. It provides the high-impact dynamics required for cinematic film effects while maintaining the precision and detail necessary for faithful music reproduction.
The V2W is a freestanding unit, giving you flexibility in placement. However, for optimal performance, we recommend experimenting with different positions in your room to find the spot that provides the most balanced and tightest bass response.
The V2W is designed to integrate seamlessly with your home theater system via a dedicated subwoofer output from your processor or receiver.
