W371A

SAM™ Woofer System

An absolute revelation in low frequency performance. With the W371A, you can finally wave goodbye to the detrimental influences of your room on LF reproduction.

Full-range, yet free-standing

The W371A seamlessly complements our 8341A, 8351B and 8361A models to creates a series of full-range monitoring solutions with unrivalled neutrality and supreme control of directivity and the effects of room acoustics. Experience all the benefits of a main monitor, but with the freedom to locate this free-standing system in optimal positions within your control room; even providing the option to switch between nearfield and main monitors without image-shifting.

Flat, smooth response

The W371A tailors system performance carefully to the room, offering flatter, smoother in-room response with more coherent LF imaging. Three different operating modes allow a choice of flat and neutral LF response avoiding ‘acoustic notching’, continued directivity of the main monitor down to the lowest LF frequencies, or reduction of detrimental reflections by the walls, ceiling or floor of your room. The W371A then uses GLM software to select and optimise the signal processing for the best LF radiation mode, taking into account both the monitor location and listening position.

FAQ

W371 does not need a subwoofer because the W371 is itself a very capable low frequency source, in many ways superior to using a subwoofer. In certain immersive installations, a subwoofer can be used as the output method for the LFE channel content. In that case, the subwoofer is calibrated using the GLM as a second step after the primary system calibration.

Bass management means dividing low frequencies into a subwoofer and high frequencies to a loudspeaker, with the typical crossover frequency being in the range 50-100 Hz. A loudspeaker system using W371 with a monitor is a full range system that should not be bass managed. The output quality of the W371 with a monitor is acoustically superior to using a subwoofer and bass management for low frequencies. Because of this, W371 cannot be bass managed with a subwoofer.
