MJ Acoustics Reference 210

Subwoofer

Relative price

above typical

Among the 24 subwoofers in the catalogue, this one is above typical.

A band places a component against its peers and carries no price. It is deliberately the only price indicator on this page: a second one, measured against a different set, would narrow the two together far enough to give the figure away.

What it is

Distinctive within MJ Reference Series for ABR (Acoustic Bass Radiator) topology — sealed cabinet plus passive radiator gives near-ported extension without port-loading placement constraints. ABR is a critically-shaped tuned damping system — the radiator is a passive driver tuned mechanically to cabinet volume.

For 102m³ room: appropriate primary sub for upper-mid tier systems. Reference-class extension supports high SPL at low frequencies in large room.
