Mivoc hype 10 - cheaper Musterknabe

And inexpensive means precisely worth the price, not cheap. When lowered B-Ware in new condition (probably Retoured) came this active subwoofer for home to me. I have quite a good hi-fi chain and like to listen to good music with fairly high standards of the original live sound and stage figure. For reasons of space I have not got a tower speaker, only Compact (Magnat Quantum 603), but slowly go from 80Hz down to its knees. Therefore, I have always operated a small subwoofer for support in the lowest octave, previously a now 12 year old Magnat Motion Sub 20A. He did discreetly and harmoniously integrated, loud movie action was not his, but not mine. The biggest annoyance was actually in the fixed spectrum allocation. I wanted a variable crossover (crossover, low-pass filter) in order better to tie him to the main speakers.

Twice as high (120 W RMS) and larger 25-cm chassis he lay kicking going on, a little break-in period I allowed him already, although I fundamentally do not believe (much imagination). But the paint on a voice coil should be dried before being heated The centering and the bead need only times some exercise. I think.

Musically I have him so still only discreetly on pottering, since I do not need a deep unnatural hum, but a tightly plucked bass string to the pulse and ringing exactly sound like the original at the concert. The large bass drum should also have a mighty bang, but remember the urge to kick. The can of Mivoc. You do not hear him too present, it can integrate well, as it has also in addition to the variable low-pass and a 180 ° phase. Bit more precision, control and graduation could still be, but the price argument heads this idea quickly.

DVD Star Wars - Episode 1, and from the long scene of Pod Race is my favorite part, when it comes to the level of skills of speaker systems. Cinema volume up pain threshold is possible, the subwoofer was for gepegelt slightly higher. Always under control without oversteer, it sets the household of my movie experience in knowledge. Well, here: it does not have quite as far away from the wall, as Chassis and reflex port radiate forward. Only when I turn up fully (even the bass control on your receiver), it sounds slightly unclean and calls for a rapid turning back. But because my hearing is almost damaged.

Workmanship is good, housing is quite massive. the gummibedämpften feet one must still fix screw, then are almost 20 kg stable and not slippery. The glossy side walls must be well polished often. Without front cover can be the woofer but not leave you, looks pretty dam - modest. The amplifier module AM-120 is an eternal runner of Mivoc. Should work reliably for years. Of course, considering the price, there are in terms of performance and features no competition on the market. The annoying orange colored logo can be removed or black careful.

Since I always extensively researching purchases before what I buy there, I end up usually a 5-star product in hand. So here also

Later (with space and without small children) I treat myself definitely times a pair of potent Standlausprecher that I myself am building and subsequently waive a subwoofer.

Supplement 10/2013:

The amplifier module used is a Mivoc AM80 (officially 80 W into 4 ohms), which is here obviously groundless indicated with 120 W RMS. Do not think that it has been modified. In contrast, you can read a test of the module AM80 in the magazine Klan & Ton 5/2013, there expressed "fed up about 100W into 4 ohms" in the sense resistor.

On fixed crossover functions, which can not be set, it should be pointed: high-slope sub-sonic filter to protect Chassis / electronics as well as a solid increase of 40 Hz, so you can compensate for the sound pressure drop perfectly into small enclosures.
