Dali's $800 Subwoofer Boosts Sound

Dali has launched a new subwoofer, the Basik Sub, designed to enhance the sound of its affordable 5-star stereo speakers and home theater setups. The Basik Sub features an 8-inch down-firing subwoofer and a 170W RMS / 220W peak Class D amplifier.

The Basik Sub is designed to be used with Dali's 5-star stereo speakers, such as the Dali Kupid and Dali Sonik 1, to add low-end punch to music and movies. It features adjustable gain, crossover, and phase controls, making it compatible with a wide range of speaker setups.

The Basik Sub will be available in October 2026 for $800/£429/€500 (about AU$815) and comes in a choice of five colors: Solid Black, Solid White, Caramel White, Golden Yellow, and Chilly Blue.

## What it offers The Basik Sub's 8-inch down-firing subwoofer is teamed with an oversized ferrite magnet and a high-flux motor system, delivering precise control. It also features a long, vented voice coil designed to maintain cooling and minimize compression as the levels are turned up.

## Why it matters The Basik Sub solves a common problem with compact bookshelf speakers, which can be light on low-end sound. By adding an 8-inch downfiring subwoofer to a setup, the Basik Sub can turn a stereo setup into a 2.1 system, making music and movies more entertaining. The Basik Sub's adjustable controls and compact design make it a great option for those looking to enhance their home theater setup without breaking the bank.

The Basik Sub's launch in October 2026 is expected to be a great option for those looking to upgrade their home audio systems. With its affordable price point and range of colors, it's an attractive addition to any living room.
