Known for its deep, rich bass and high-efficiency output, the PSW800 is an ideal choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

The combination of a dedicated amplifier with the woofer allows for a more cohesive and dynamic sound output, making it a valuable addition to any surround sound system.

The Niles Audio PSW800 also incorporates advanced room optimization technology. This system allows the subwoofer to adapt to various room acoustics by optimizing its performance based on the environment.
