Compact Powered Subwoofer for Music, Television, and Home Theater
The Gallo Acoustics RoomSub 8 delivers deep, controlled bass from a compact enclosure designed to complement Gallo Acoustics satellite, on-wall, pendant, and architectural loudspeakers. Its discreet proportions make it well suited to living rooms, media rooms, bedrooms, and two-channel systems where a larger subwoofer may be difficult to accommodate.
An 8-inch down-firing polypropylene-cone woofer with an NBR surround is powered by a high-performance 200-watt Class-D amplifier. With published low-frequency extension down to 32Hz, the RoomSub 8 adds weight and impact to music, movies, television sound, and gaming while helping smaller loudspeakers operate with greater clarity.
The Gallo Acoustics RoomSub 8 includes continuously adjustable level, low-pass crossover, and phase controls for precise integration with the room and main speakers. Stereo RCA inputs accommodate stereo preamplifier connections, while the left input also accepts a mono LFE signal from a compatible AV receiver or processor.

Technology & Performance
Down-Firing Woofer Configuration — The 8-inch driver directs low-frequency energy toward the floor, helping distribute bass throughout the room while keeping the driver visually concealed.
High-Efficiency Class-D Amplification — The integrated 200-watt amplifier provides the power required for dynamic music and movie playback while supporting a compact cabinet design.
Continuously Adjustable Crossover — The low-pass filter can be set between 50Hz and 180Hz, allowing the RoomSub 8 to blend with compact satellites, bookshelf speakers, on-wall speakers, or floorstanding loudspeakers.
Variable Phase Alignment — The continuously adjustable 0-to-180-degree phase control helps compensate for different subwoofer positions relative to the speakers and primary listening area.
Flexible Stereo and Theater Integration — The Gallo Acoustics RoomSub 8 can connect to stereo preamp outputs or a home theater receiver’s dedicated LFE output. When the AV receiver handles bass management, the crossover control can be set to its maximum position.
