Sigberg Audio Inkognito: Building a "design" subwoofer that actually sounds good

[sigbergaudio]

I meant your dedicated listening room if you go forward with your idea.

Yes, will definitely share if so. There's some planned renovation in that room the next few weeks, then we'll see.

Got some REW measurements from a customer. Pretty flat down to around 16hz with two Inkognitos. A bit of manual EQ here to even out the response (no lift).

Two Inkognitos stacked with the new stacking kit together with the Manta.

Here's a guy who has converted his Inkognito into a coffee table using furniture feet and a glass slate on top.

That's what I love about it it's so versatile. And good sounding...

Be sure to clear the coffee, tea, and what other beverages on there when it's playing...

It's actually very rigid, even at 100dB@1m it's not enough vibration to worry about beverages.

Interesting to see REL introducing what they describe as a “new category of subwoofer”:

When we launched the Inkognito back in 2020, the goal was simple:
Create a genuinely high-performance subwoofer that integrates naturally into real living spaces instead of dominating them visually.

Interesting to see major brands now exploring low-profile / wall-near / on-wall / furniture-friendly subwoofer concepts.

Great to see more attention being given to this category.

Indeed, but it is virtually guaranteed the rel will be hugely overpriced and under performing. .
Of course you couldn’t possibly comment.

There is enough information available to compare them without me commenting.

To me there are two interesting things. The first is that they are launching a similar product, as this validates the category / potential market. And second that they're calling it a new category, when they actually even had a similar product themselves in the past (called the Rel Habitat). But it's a marketing effort to build attention I guess, which is fine by me.

Nubert has that kind of subwoofer alread for many years (XW800). But the rel looks gorgeous, like a piece of art.
