There’s Nothing “Sub” about This Subwoofer

With its highly efficient Class D amplifier and a 6″ long throw woofer, the S6 has to be heard to be believed. Audio nerds will be happy to know the S6 boasts a frequency response down to 33Hz in a sealed box design, and with adjustable crossover points between 40 – 130Hz you can dial in exactly the sound you want. The rest of you will be happy to hear it produces bass that’s punchy, smooth, and bottom-of-the-sea deep.

Here’s something everyone can appreciate: the S6 can fill most rooms with ease and, for its size, produces a powerful sound that outperforms other compact subs on the market.

4 Ways to Complete Your Soundstage – What Are You Missing?

With an Audioengine home music system, enthusiasts have a solid foundation for exceptional audio, right out of the box. However, to unlock the full depth of your music, integrating a subwoofer like the Audioengine S6 is essential. A subwoofer adds a new dimension to your music, especially in tracks rich in low-end frequencies. It enhances the depth and resonance of the bass, introducing you to an entirely new music experience, with bass that is reminiscent of your favorite live concert. The S6 will provide 17hz – 32hz more bass to your audio that you’re not going to hear without it.

Questions & answers about the
S6 Powered Subwoofer

How to Clean Your Audioengine Home Music System
- 1. Turn Off and Unplug:
  - Make sure your system is turned off and unplugged.
  2. Dust the Surfaces:
  - Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust.
  - For hard-to-reach places, use a soft brush or a can of compressed air.
  3. Wipe Down the Exterior:
  - We do not recommend using any solvents
  - If cleaning off stains or build-up is necessary, we recommend doing so with a very small amount of mild cleaning solution applied only to the affected area, followed by quickly wiping the area dry completely.
  - Any scoured pads or objects like a ‘magic eraser’ too easily run the risk of removing sealers and top coats of the painted finish that can leave a clearly visible change in the uniformity of the paint/finish
  4. Clean the Speaker Grills:
  - The speaker grills can be gently cleaned with a vacuum, preferably using a soft bush attachment.
  - A lint roller can also be used.
  5. Clean Buttons and Knobs:
  - A dry cloth is recommend for cleaning any knobs, buttons or other surfaces
  - Be careful not to let water get into any gaps.
  6. Clean Ports and Connections:
  - Use compressed air to blow out dust from ports and connections.
  7. Let Everything Dry:
  - Make sure everything is completely dry before plugging back in and turning on.
  8. Regular Cleaning:
  - Dust your system regularly to keep it in good shape.
  By following these steps, you can keep your Audioengine system clean and working well.
S6 Size: What is the dimensions of the S6?
- The S6 is dimensions are 10″H x 8.7″W x 10″D
Can the S6 subwoofer be made wireless?
- Yes! You’d just need a wireless adapter like our W3 Wireless Adapter.
How do I control the volume of my S6 subwoofer? Do I have to reach behind the S6 each time I want to raise or lower the volume?
- Most Audioengine powered speakers have variable RCA outputs for use with a subwoofer like the S6 (the exceptions being the B2 and the 512). This means that the output of the speakers and the RCA output will go up and down together. So once you dial in the volume of your S6, you should be able to adjust the volume from the speakers, or your source device. Either way the subwoofer and speakers should stay in balance as the volume is raised and lowered.
Does the crossover on the S6 adjust the frequencies played by speakers connected to the RCA line output?
- The S6’s crossover is a variable low-pass filter, and will not adjust the audio for the RCA output connection. This is a full range line level output.
How do you set the crossover on the S6?
- The S6’s crossover is a variable low-pass filter. This means it variably adjusts how high the S6 will play. Unless the subwoofer is pretty far away, you can usually leave the phase switch set to 0°. When setting up a new S6, I like to start with the crossover all the way counter clockwise and, with some music I’m familiar with playing, first get the volume “about” right. After that try making very small adjustments clockwise on the crossover, evaluating each small change from where you’ll be listening from most often. Once it starts sounding like you can localize where the sub is coming from, back it off until you can’t again. You may also need to lower the volume a touch after the crossover is dialed in, or perhaps even while you’re dialing it in, depending on the acoustics of the room you’re in, and your own preference on how present you’d like the sub to sound. Audioengine powered speakers have fixed passive crossovers designed specifically for them; this simply means that they are designed to play the frequency range they produce, so it’s not necessary to alter this when adding a subwoofer. Adding a subwoofer, such as the S6, will pick up where the speakers leave off, extending the low end response.
Can I use the P4 passive speakers with the Audioengine S6 sub?
- Yes! You would just need an amp, like our N22, to supply power to the P4 speakers and connect to the S6.
