YAMAHA 8" 100W Powered Subwoofer - Black (NS-SW050BL)

Comprei essa caixa indicado pelo chatgpt. Eu disse que precisava de um subwoofer, descrevi meu setup e disse que era para escutar música. Esse subwoofer é muito, mas muito ruim. Como a yamaha fabrica uma coisa dessas? Um som emborrachado, horrível, fica brigando com as outras caixas. Só consigo imaginar um uso pra essas caixas, que é pra quem um gosto duvidoso, e realmente quer esse "tum tum tum" emborrachado no seu som. Duas coisas me surpreendem aqui - a yamaha fabricar essas caixas e o chatgpt indicá-las. Sinta-se avisado, não compre.

I previously owned and operated a professional home studio so I’ve heard my fair share of high end “monitor” speakers and subs. As such, I currently run Dynaudio Lyd 48s in my small 5.1 home theater ($2400.00 a pair). My Dynaudios are 3 way speakers. They create extremely clear, accurate sound and dialogue that diminishes most stand alone center channels by comparison. They also go down to 32 hz without strain which is already very low. I added this sub because I couldn’t justify spending 3x or more as much for just a few more hz of low end. That being said, I can honestly report that this budget Yamaha keeps up just fine for home cinema. With a frequency response that goes as low as 27 hz, you will be hard pressed to find anything better at this price point. Fellow Audiophiles will scoff at the fact that I’m running a $200 sub next to speakers that cost more than 12x as much after taxes. But with 20 years of critical listening, Im qualified to use my ears to judge. Might I purchase a more expensive sub later? Maybe. Will I be able to tell a difference? Sure. But not by much. This is a great investment for any small to medium sized room. I wouldn’t recommend it for mixing - the frequency response is far from flat and the lack of adjustability does not allow for crossover/fine tuning. But for the average consumer, this thing is exactly what you want; It’s small, simple, powerful, and will make your music and movie watching experiences fun! I’m not sure how Yamaha did this for $200. The flared port must be something from a magical land. The bass is tight and low enough to enjoy 90% of films without showing signs of stress. Only a few movies will reveal its weaknesses. You’ll have to search to find those (I’ll give you a hint… Dune). But at this price, you’ll forgive it. You’ll love it. It will be your friend. Just buy this thing. if your room is too large and you’re on a budget, buy 2 and don’t look back. Rest assured, you won’t be disappointed.

Solid build quality, great sound, super easy to set up and use. I have a medium sized room and this thing provides more than enough boom at roughly 70% before things start rattling on my shelves.

I bought this mini sub when I was living in my apartment because I’m a big movie person, but didn’t want to piss off the neighbors with a larger, true HT sub (plus I was on a tight budget), and was very pleasantly surprised. It’s only an 8” driver, so you can’t compare it to a 12” or bigger driver, that’s not realistic, but it’s fantastic for what it is. This thing rumbles and it has a nice tactile punch to it. I never turned the gain knob up past 5/10. I would absolutely recommend this sub for anyone with SPL (volume) limitations, neighbors, or financial limitations. At 8” it just physically can’t get down ultra low or provide the fullness a bigger driver can, but man does it try, and if you’ve never experienced anything bigger, you won’t be missing anything. I would be very interested to listen to the 10” version, the NS-SW100. Overall, I was thrilled with it for the size and price point at the time when I built my budget 5.1 system. It really is a fantastic little sub and I would absolutely purchase it again. If you have a bigger room or want a true HT sub, you’re gonna have to be realistic and go bigger and a lot more expensive. Otherwise, get this thing (or the 10” NS-SW100) and enjoy!

The size and output were the welcome, final addition to our cheapo Pioneer HTP-071 amp and now 5.1 setup. Lots of oomph for such a small size unit. I recommend to anyone, with reasonable experience and tech savvy, to revisit their amp's settings in detail and play with that vs the speakers volume output. Only complaint was the connectors could have been more varied instead of just an RCA female as our amp had only regular crimp speaker wire connectors for all including subwoofer - if you're okay with soldering this is not a big deal but finding a good RCA male barrel connector can be tricky or expensive on amazon (which I did after searching for hours and NOT wanting calling all around the city). Inexpensive amazon basics 14 gauge speaker wire and every speaker gets it's equal treatment. Worth the time and effort... at this price point you still need to fuss abit but once set your golden.
