Acoustic Energy Subwoofer – Satin Black

$1,099AUD inc. GST

The Acoustic Energy AE108 MKII is a compact, high‑performance active subwoofer crafted to bring powerful, articulate bass to modern living spaces without dominating the room. Finished in satin black, it offers a clean, understated look that blends naturally with contemporary interiors while delivering bass output far beyond what its modest size suggests.

At the heart of the AE108 MKII is a 250mm (10″) long‑throw paper‑cone driver engineered for natural, tight, and controlled low‑frequency reproduction. Its doped and stiffened cone structure allows it to move substantial air with precision, giving music and movie soundtracks a solid, dynamic foundation. Despite its compact footprint—less than one cubic foot—the subwoofer produces bass that feels full, weighty, and immersive.

Powering the driver is a 150W RMS Class‑D amplifier, tuned specifically for clean, distortion‑free performance. This efficient amplifier design ensures consistent output during demanding passages, whether it’s the impact of cinematic effects or the subtle textures of acoustic bass. The sealed, downward‑firing enclosure further enhances accuracy by minimizing room interaction and eliminating port noise, making placement simple and flexible.

The AE108 MKII is designed to integrate seamlessly with Acoustic Energy’s AE100, AE107, AE109, and AE120 loudspeakers, rounding out a multi‑channel or stereo system with smooth, tonally consistent low‑end reinforcement. Adjustable crossover and phase controls allow precise tuning to match your room and speakers, while auto power sensing ensures convenient everyday use. Some versions also include a remote control, allowing you to fine‑tune bass levels from your listening position.

Compact, elegant, and surprisingly powerful, the AE108 MKII is ideal for listeners who want high‑quality bass performance without sacrificing space or aesthetics. It delivers the depth, punch, and musicality expected from Acoustic Energy in a discreet, room‑friendly form.
