Harbeth Introduces Nelson Subwoofer and Stand Solution
Harbeth's chief designer, Alan Shaw, has developed a nifty sub-bass solution that could revolutionise the sound of small loudspeakers.
The company touts the Nelson Subwoofer + Stand Solution as "the next-generation audio product that seamlessly combines the latest technology with meticulous craftsmanship". It was demonstrated at the recent Dutch Audio Event, Eindhoven, and the Audio Visual Show in Poland and received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The Nelson Subwoofer employs a Harbeth 5-inch drive unit and 50 watts of digital amplifier power, which "results in exceptional bass control, perfect integration and power output". This latest Shaw design uses an onboard factory-set DSP chip, and comprises two chambers with a five-inch woofer firing from one to the other to create output down to 35Hz.
Nelson's DSP optimises the crossover frequency, phase and shape so the Nelson sub takes over seamlessly as the host speaker's bass rolls off - a truly plug-and-play addition with only one volume control for the sub.
The Nelson Subwoofer + Stand Solution is priced at £3,295 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
