Subwoofer
Updated: 07/12/2017 by Computer Hope
Alternatively known as a sub or woofer, a subwoofer is a speaker designed to only reproduce low frequencies, also known as the bass. Subwoofers are what produce the rumble you may experience in a movie theater or the thumping noise you hear in a passing car. The picture shows the Harman Kardon Soundsticks III 2.1 Channel Multimedia Speaker System with a subwoofer.
Tip
Not all speakers include a subwoofer, but we highly recommend purchasing speakers with a subwoofer to get the absolute best audio experience.
