This sub can be used with other brands of speakers, as long as they produce bass down to 60 or 70Hz the Undertone Mk. II measures 25 by 15 by 15 inches (635 by 38 by 38cm), it weighs 68 pounds (31kg), and is offered in a range of finishes. After all, the bass is part of the music, and now he's hearing and feeling it. When I asked Jeff if he could go back and run the system sans sub he said no way. II's contributions were hard to miss, so when we turned the sub off the Soul Supremes sounded smaller and less energetic. Then we went deep into a few Treasure Isle (a Jamaican record label) collections, and the bass textures and rhythms were fantastic. I'd never heard of Jackie Mittoo, but his organ-fueled instrumentals fully exercised the system. Jeff spent hours turning me onto new music - he has 2,500 LPs, a few hundred singles and 2,000 CDs.

The music's energy and dynamics kicked harder, turning off the sub and returning to just the Supremes was a letdown. Jeff thinks the sub made a huge improvement to the overall sound of his system, and not just the bass. There was a newfound solidity to the sound that the Soul Supremes on their own couldn't match. II provided a much deeper foundation for the music. Ah, but when you turn off the sub you'll be amazed by what the sub was contributing, even with recordings that didn't have a lot of bass!

That is, you shouldn't be aware of any bass coming from the subwoofer, all of the bass should seem to come from the speakers. Subs are at their best when they're not calling attention to themselves. I've heard Jeff's system before so I was eager to hear how the sub changed the sound. After consulting with the folks at Zu Audio he took the plunge and bought their Undertone Mk. That was certainly the case with enthusiast Jeff K.'s hi-fi, which sports a pair of Zu Audio Soul Supreme towers, which have 10-inch (254mm) woofers. Jeff with his Zu Soul Supreme speaker and Undertone Mk. A well-matched sub will dramatically enhance the overall sound of your system, and adding the right sub will make a bigger difference than upgrading electronics. With a great sub the system's dynamics rock harder, and soundstage depth and spaciousness improve. Here's the best part: Adding a sub isn't just about more bass.

Adding a sub to larger speakers also makes sense - in fact, all but the most humongous speakers benefit from adding a sub. So even if you have a pair of bookshelf or tower speakers with 5-inch or smaller woofers and are perfectly satisfied with the bass, you literally don't know what you're missing.
