MALMÖ 6, 8 or 10?

What's the difference, you ask? I'll tell you - it's the size. The '8' in MALMÖ8 stands for 8 inches, which is the size of the component in the subwoofer. In MALMÖ, it's a slightly larger 10 inches.

Our range of subwoofers are all made with the same budget-friendly Argon Audio promise. They may look and feel the same, but they definitely don't sound the same - one can be much louder, just like your mother-in-law... but in a good bass way!

Let's look at the technical side of subwoofers!

We're not NASA, but we can get pretty technical, so please don't skip this part. We promise to keep it quick and painless! Subwoofers are designed to reproduce those deep low-frequency sounds we all crave using a large driver. The driver is typically a cone-shaped speaker that's much larger than the drivers found in your regular speakers, allowing it to move more air and produce deeper, more powerful bass sounds.

The amplifier is also specially designed to provide plenty of power to the subwoofer driver. This is important because low-frequency sounds require more power to reproduce accurately than high-frequency sounds. A good subwoofer will have a high-quality amplifier that's specifically matched to the driver, ensuring that you get the best possible sound quality from your subwoofer.

5.1 - SURROUND

A 5.1 sound system is an audio setup that includes five speakers and one subwoofer. The '5' in the name refers to the five main speakers, which are typically arranged in a surround sound configuration around the listener. The '1' refers to the subwoofer, which handles the low-frequency sounds and adds depth and impact to the overall sound picture.

The five main speakers in a 5.1 system are typically left front, center, right front, left rear, and right rear. They are arranged in a specific way to create a surround sound effect, with sounds appearing to come from different directions around the listener – just like at the cinema! This can create a more intense audio experience, particularly for movies and other content with lots of sound effects.

The subwoofer in a 5.1 system is typically positioned near the front of the room to create a balanced sound, but it can also be placed elsewhere depending on the acoustics of the room.

Overall, a 5.1 sound system is a popular choice for home theaters and other setups where a high-quality audio experience is important. It provides a balanced and immersive sound that can enhance the enjoyment of music, but especially your favorite movies!

How to set up a subwoofer?

1. Placement

There are several ways you can position your subwoofer (see the illustration below for examples), but we encourage you to experiment! However, avoid corners. This will help prevent standing waves and other acoustic issues that can affect sound quality and trust us – you don't want that.

2. Cables (Pre-Out & Sub-Out)

Before connecting the subwoofer, always switch off all your equipment.

Pre-Out connection: Use an RCA cable to connect the Pre-Out output of your amplifier/active speakers to the input on the subwoofer (both L/R).

Sub-Out connection: Use a subwoofer cable to connect the Sub-Out output of your amplifier/active speakers to the input on the subwoofer. If your subwoofer has both L/R inputs, you only need to connect to one of them – which one doesn't matter.

If your subwoofer doesn't have any of the connections we just mentioned, you will need to connect the speaker cables from your amplifier to your subwoofer, and then connect your cables from your passive speaker to the bottom connections on your subwoofer.

Wow, that's a lot of words for such a simple connection! Anyway, now you can finally connect your subwoofer to a power source.

Power Mode

Press the on button on the back. The LED light should illuminate, and your subwoofer is ready to shake the floor! We recommend setting the power mode to AUTO, so the subwoofer will turn off automatically after 10-15 minutes without a signal. This will not only save you a bunch on your electricity bill, but it will also prevent unnecessary wear and tear on your subwoofer.

Phase Control

Phase control is a process of adjusting the timing of the subwoofer's low-frequency sounds, so they are synchronized with the main speakers. Phase 0 is recommended if your speakers and subwoofer are placed in the same area and facing the same direction, while Phase 180 is recommended when your subwoofer is placed opposite to the speakers and facing the speakers.

Crossover Frequency

The crossover frequency is the specific frequency where there is a high-cut filter in the subwoofer, meaning that the subwoofer will only play frequencies below this threshold. We recommend setting the crossover frequency to 60-80 Hz for our 4-inch, 5-inch, and 55-inch speakers.

Volume Level

We recommend playing a song with a consistent bass signal and adjusting the knob until the volume of the subwoofer is at a similar level as your speakers. As a starting point, we recommend the middle position on the volume knob, but ultimately, it's up to you to create whatever vibrating monster you dream of.
