Neandertal Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Is the KSW-10 subwoofer shielded? I need to know how well it will behave around a TV. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Neandertal: No, the KSW-10 (along with most subwoofers out there) is not shielded. The size of a driver and the magnet(s) in a subwoofer usually make shielding them cost prohibitive. Since a woofer has more flexibility in its placement in regards to a TV versus a main or center channel speaker this, generally, has not been an issue. Also, a sub sits on the floor, generally out of harms way of the TV sitting higher up. I sit my unshiedded sub right next to my projection TV, and even with the guns of that TV at floor level there is no negative effect.

TheEAR Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 KSW series subs dont have massive magnetic structures and are mostly harmless(unless you use them as TV stands). Only subs with large magnets have to be positioned 2-3 feet or more away from any CRT monitor. I have both the KSW12 and 15,both are quite harmless. Here we go again... On the other hand my Sunfire subs are monitor killers,they use DAMN BIG magnets and will damage monitors up close.HGS Velos also Same for Aerial and Revel subs,have to be kept away from any monitors.

TheEAR Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Never tried to put any large subs near a TV,all 4 feet + away from TV. I know the Sunfire subs are brutal on TV's,BIG purple coloring in corners.You are right Boa,the Velo is harmless,they must have shielded the magnets.
