KEF Kube 8b Subwoofer
Going beyond this, it is the primary carrier of the Uni-Core technology. This defeats the traditional speaker concept by the new location ideal for high-frequency reproduction. Its latest technology makes it possible to achieve greater flexibility compactly, no matter the design.
The Kube 8b is the cutest and most concise subwoofer I’ve seen so far. Nothing you’ve seen on the internet will prepare you for the cuteness in this 30cm box. The device’s decorative look is made of a black glass platter on top and fabric that goes all around. The rear control panel sinks into it.
The Kube 8b’s cabinet has a 200 mm-wide bass driver installed, but it is not visible. Since the fabric is not removable, the sub gets its power from a 500W Class D amplifier and can deliver 105dB of sound pressure. It is an excellent solution for small and medium-sized rooms.
An Easy Control Panel
The control panel offers a phase setting that is switchable between 0 and 180°. It can also perform volume control and low-pass filter setting (40-180Hz). KEF has also included a simple DSP processor, which allows you to adjust the subwoofer’s location—room, corner, or cabinet.
Do not confine your thinking only to the placement suggestions. Experimentation could lead you to the most appropriate sound of your sub, and it may also turn out that you have no cabinet available. The Kube 8b can easily be hooked up using a loudspeaker cable directly to the amplifier or the speakers.
Functioning without a Hitch
The KEF Kube 8b is flexible and can cater to various acoustic requirements. One can adjust the output utilizing various DSP (Digital Signal Processing). Controlled EQ settings to suit the subwoofer’s presence in the space and customers’ preferences. The ease of configuration makes the Kube 8b subwoofer a separate speaker and part of the entire sound system.
Outstanding Sound Reproduction
The Kube 8b is mindfully designed to be the companion of a sound seeker and/or a person whose first interest is in design. It is characterized by its innate sound effects and the highest sound quality. The textured bass is apparent, with enhanced clarity and outstanding sound reproduction.
