Elipson Classic Sub Range Adds Affordable Bass In Three Sizes

October 14, 2026

Elipson has introduced three Classic Sub models for listeners who want deeper bass without replacing their main speakers. The range starts with the compact Classic Sub 8 and steps up through the Sub 10 to the larger Sub 12.

Each model is an active subwoofer, meaning the amplifier it needs is built inside the cabinet. That makes it a practical upgrade for a stereo or home-cinema system, provided the main amplifier or speakers have a suitable subwoofer output.

Three Sizes For Different Rooms

The Classic Sub 8 is the easiest to place. Its 8-inch driver and 150W amplifier are aimed at smaller rooms and compact bookshelf speakers. It should add weight to kick drums, bass guitars and electronic music without demanding a huge area of floor space.

The Sub 10 moves more air with a 10-inch driver and 200W amplifier. Elipson positions it as the all-rounder for a medium-sized room. The Sub 12 uses a 12-inch driver and 300W amplifier, reaches deepest on paper and is intended for larger spaces or listeners who want more physical impact.

Designed For Music And Films

All three use a fibreglass-cone driver in a bass-reflex cabinet. A port allows air inside the cabinet to help reinforce low frequencies. The built-in Class D amplifier provides the power, so the main system only has to send it an audio signal.

The range is not limited to explosions and film effects. A correctly adjusted subwoofer can also help small stereo speakers reproduce the lowest notes in music. The goal is not constant booming bass; it is to fill in information that the main speakers cannot reach cleanly.

Controls Help It Blend In

A crossover control decides the highest frequency the subwoofer will play. Setting it carefully helps the sub take over where the main speakers begin to run out of bass. The phase switch can help the subwoofer and main speakers move together rather than partly cancelling each other.

The Classic Sub models accept stereo RCA or mono LFE connections and include line outputs. Automatic standby means the amplifier can reduce its power use when no signal is present.

Choosing The Right Model

Bigger is not automatically better. In a bedroom or small flat, the Sub 8 may be easier to position and balance. The Sub 10 offers more reach for a typical living room, while the Sub 12 is the option for a larger space and a system that can make use of its extra output.

Placement and setup matter as much as the model. Starting with a low volume level and a sensible crossover usually gives a more natural result than turning every control to maximum.

What The Terms Mean

Active subwoofer: A bass speaker with its own amplifier built in.

Bass reflex: A cabinet that uses a tuned port to extend bass output.

Class D: An efficient type of amplifier commonly used in active speakers and subwoofers.

Crossover: A filter that decides which frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

LFE: The dedicated low-frequency effects channel used by home-cinema systems.
