Subwoofers that go below 30 hz for music

[sigbergaudio]

I just decided to order the Dynaudio 9S to pair with my Kali IN8-V2 monitors in my office. It should go down to 22hz @85dB +/-3dB. Haven't found any measurements yet though. I was also looking for subs that can go down well below 30hz that also didn't cost as much as the KH750 (I paid around $1K for the Dynaudio). And I needed the additional feature of having XLR inputs/outputs.

I'd be happy to try and take measurements of the subwoofer, but all I have is a UMIK-1, and not sure if that's sufficient to properly measure a subwoofer. And I don't have an anechoic chamber in my house

Umik-1 is perfectly fine to measure a subwoofer, both nearfield and in the listening position.

Wouldn't the SVS SB 1000 Pro have been better and less money?

Sealed cabinet home audio subwoofer punches well above its class with stunning impact and musicality.

It's got a bigger woofer and specs say it goes lower, plus you can control all it's features from a smartphone app which is very useful and particularly if your subwoofer is in a difficult spot to access.

EDIT: it doesn't have the XLR inputs & outputs though, but I think XLR to RCA cables are a thing.

I did look at that and maybe I’ll consider it if I don’t like the Dynaudio. I kinda wanted to have the XLR setup though. And another point in favor of the Dynaudio is the very small footprint.

Is that because it's about staying balanced? You've got balanced DAC and amp, etc? (You know for avoidance of ground loops and stuff.)

Yep, it’s all a studio setup (but I just use it in my office). Using Motu M4 audio interface with balanced outputs. Kali monitors also have XLR inputs.
