The Genesis subwoofer was delivered to my home weeks ago I was surprised how light weight this sub was. I was able to carry it myself.
It features a 12’’ scanspeak subwoofer and two front-firing ports. It has 2 control knobs at the back. 1 for volume and the other controls the crossover setting.
An effective subwoofer should
1. Not call attention to itself
2. Blend with all the other speakers in the system
Master Anthony suggests a 50hr break in for the subwoofer.
The 12’’ Genesis subwoofer performs admirably for php11,500
I tested the subwoofer with some of my favorite movies.
The Dark KnightThe opening scene of this flick had an incredible sense of atmosphere with this sub. The thundering bass and the shotgun of the banks manager was chest pounding. The sub was adequate for my room and sucked me into the movie.
BoltMy favorite movie for testing the subwoofer, Action scenes had just the right amount of depth and punch without being overbearing.
Queen Rock MontrealI played the Roger Taylor’s drum solo to test the sub. The Drum solo was absolutely fantastic.
Every beat played with just the right amount of bass.
ConclusionFor small-medium sized bedroom the Genesis subwoofer will give you a satisfying amount of bass.
It’s punchy and grants weight & depth to a picture but a kinda shy of reaching cinematic levels.
If you're hungry for cinematic levels of bass then you should try the Titus sub.
The subwoofer blended with my Genesis speakers when dialed in the right setting.
For php11,500 it’s an excellent choice for the budget minded.
