great build, if you use it with 5inch nearfields, you will notice a big difference in sound. the low frequencies become tight and clean.
If it doesn't sound good, don't blame the speaker, just go and find some good instructions online how to properly set up your subwoofer..

this has definitely helped me produce better mixes. This sub was a great addition to my 2x 5-inch monitors. The low end on the monitors alone is good, but this is a whole new level.

Great addon for UniK 08 +
Drnpaca 06.06.2022
The crossover knob (50Hz-180Hz) is just for the subwoofer crossover and does not affect the connected the satellite speakers, like the satellite crossover switch (100Hz or OFF).

By using the satellite crossover switch the connected speakers can run full range (OFF) or with 100 Hz high pass (100Hz) with 24 dB/octave.

The settings of the subwoofer crossover are related to the low end of the ESI uniK 08+ speakers.

The 12 clock position of the potentiometer for the sub crossover is around 115Hz.

By setting the satellite crossover to 100Hz you have can set the subwoofer crossover knob to 11 clock around 100Hz.

The whole thing is of course dependent on the room conditions and should be tried out, but it is best to measure it correctly.

Hope this helps !

used with Focal twin 6be

it is a fantastic complementary for low end extension for any pair of monitors i'd say, just needed that little extra lows on my monitors.. i've searched for may other brands but the deal breaker was the high pass filter option for the satellites .

sound-wise i cannot give a clear opinion because it's my first sub ever in the studio, but seems to be doing a good job translating low end on theatrical systems and in my cadillac DTS Bose system.. no customers complained about low end issues so far and i'm happy :)

Very good subwoofer for this price range.
ArturasMegaomas 21.12.2022
Many Hi-fi subs for a much higher price, can't compete with this one.
Of course the looks of it it's not very pretty, but it does the job very well.
Nice, warm low frequency.
