S8.4

I was looking to add a sub to enhance the bass in my music. I'm a long-time audiophile who has owned many subs over the decades. My fronts (JBL 530s) are beautiful but have only 5.5" drivers and drop off precipitously below 70hz. The bass in my music is played by instruments, not computers- nothing below 35hz is needed. This placed me in the market for a tight 8" sub. A key attribute I demanded was the ability to defeat the "Standby" setting, as a sub turning on and off is unlistenable to. (Don't believe the BS that you can't hear this.) The KRK 9 emerged and I purchased it. It has a perfect set of back-panel controls. I calibrated and evaluated everything using test-tone webpages and careful listening to music I know by heart, a method easier and far more accurate than YPAO. This sub is heavy, solid (no rattles/ "booming"), no hum, and plays well in the octave I need. Yes, it's expensive, but it actually enhances my sound quality for music. I've attached a photo of the optimal controls when paired with very capable bookshelf speakers. There is a 2009 remaster of "Seconds Out" by Genesis and in the song "Firth of Fifth" you hear clearly and distinguished the bass guitar and bass drum. This is a new revelation to me for an important piece of music. Bravo!

A perfect match to my KRK V4S4 with the crossover set at 80hz. My JBL LSR310 sub had problems keeping up with the V4S4 output, even at -3db. Turning the JBL up to match output caused it to bottom out on bass heavy movies. The S12.4 stays clean & makes the bass needed to blend with the V4S4 with headroom to spare. Combined they are a soundbar killer. I've never heard a $4k soundbar but I'm guessing that's the starting point to match SQ of my set up. I'm using a Geshelli J3 DAC with V7 Classic opamps & a Topping A70 Pro as the preamp.

Sub is more than what I expected. Bass is amazing and it totally adds to my home DJ system !!

I had KRK Rokit G5 for a year and used them with a 10" Polk sub. "What's the difference?" I wonder. BIG DIFFERENCE. Regular subs are designed to add "punch" for casual listening. These KRK subs don't do that. They're very accurate, and they don't mess with the sound. They just reproduce it accurately, with excellent clarity you just don't hear in regular subs. For critical listening/mixing/mastering, this is the one to get, if it's the right size for the room. Paired with KRK monitors, it's exactly right. Run XLR or TRS into the sub, then let it do the crossover and feed the output to your monitors. Best possible way to do it.

I was first struck by how huge this thing is, it’s also very heavy. The build quality is great, I would imagine the magnet is a hulking thing, not sure what the cabinet is made of maybe abs plastic perhaps. Now this thing puts out bass you can feel, window rattling bass, oh so much bass! It is also well behaved, within a half hour or less of no signal and she’s in standby mode, not half a day like that garbage Klipsch sub that lasted barely over a year, or that Polk sub that was defective right out of the box! I would recommend this sub very highly, if you’re scared by the price, don’t be, it’s worth every penny, remember, you get what you pay for. Runs circles around my previous two subs.

Definitely packs a punch. Great with my krk monitors. Very Loud. Build quality is exceptional. Worth the wait.

Very nice, clean monitor bass. Solid design.

Subwoofer was shipped promptly and reached my house within a couple days. Package was in pristine condition and this thing sounds SO GOOD. Was wanting this to complete my home studio setup, since I already have the 8" Rokits. If you're on the fence about getting the subwoofer, just do it. This makes mixing the low end in heavy music much easier and a lot more enjoyable. Great sound, very well balanced and powerful.

Great sub love it

Había comprado un Adam Audio T10s, pero lo devolví por que no tiene opción de deshabilitar el encendido automático, y eso causaba que mis monitores hicieran un pop molesto que me daban la impresión de dañar los monitores, además de tardar un par de segundos en reproducir audio. Y qué bueno que devolví ese subwoofer para comprar este, aunque a mi no me engañan, el que compré fue devuelto, lo sé porque luego de varios días de esperar a que lo vendiera Amazon MX, el que compré fue el único y luego se volvió a acabar el stock, pero bueno, ojalá todo salga bien. Estoy satisfecho con el desempeño de este subwoofer, tiene una suspensión gruesesita para soportar 30hz a buen volumen, y bajos precisos, pero eso solo se logra desacoplándolo del piso, lo tengo con una base para subwoofer de isoacoustics, la iso 200 sub y se las recomiendo, sienten claro el bajo en sus piernitas y en su pechito sin reverberaciones, cabe aclarar que lo tengo a justo la mitad del volumen, que a pesar de decir en las especificaciones que alcanza hasta 117db (no sé en qué frecuencia) no lo quiero estresar, además planeo comprar otro para tener un sistema 2.2 y así llegar a los 25hz planos, y reducir estrés y distorsión ya que el amplificador si se calienta (bueno vivo en el sur de MX, calores ricos) Me encantó, pero hay que saber jugar con las acústicas y el ecualizador ***ACTUALIZACIÓN AGOSTO *** Lo cambié ligeramente de posición y el subwoofer se siente aún más poderoso, le tuve que bajar de la mitad del volumen a exactamente 2/5 de su volumen y aun así tuve que reducir ciertas frecuencias con tal de llegar plano a 30hz, y la verdad no siento que me haga falta adquirir otro o más s10.4 para llegar a 20hz, pues pocas canciones llegan tan bajo, pero me gustan los excesos y estar sobrado, así que por qué no?, además si quiero reducir distorsión (aunque no la note) y temperaturas. Está de más decir que el sub sigue funcionando sin problemas.

It's Incredibly powerful for its size & produces clean tight bass, however I noticed the bass starts distorting once the sub gets hot but once you let it cool it sounds clean again. I'd avoid usage at loud volumes for long periods of time as the amp can get really hot. For mixing bass frequencies lower than 32Hz I strongly recommend going with the S10.4, I would've gotten that but I live in an apartment building and would never be able to get the most out of it without being a nuisance to my neighbors.
