SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
SATELLITE/SUBWOOFER CONFIGURATION
Another common configuration is that of a "satellite/subwoofer" speaker system. By breaking the
audio spectrum (20 - 20,000 Hz) into two parts (e.g., above and below 100 Hz) amplifier power
and associated loudspeakers can be better proportioned to the needs of most music.
Bass information usually requires a lot more power than mid and high frequencies for proper
reproduction. For truly dynamic performance, a dedicated subwoofer amplifier and speaker are
needed for the low frequencies. A "satellite/subwoofer" system allows for a lower powered mid
and high frequency amplifier (e.g., 4x15 watts inside the radio) but a much higher powered unit for
the bass region (e.g., 1x100 watts) since larger signal levels are found here in most music.
