Premier Series Basis 150

Compact and Powerful!

We squeezed the performance of a much larger subwoofer into a gorgeous cabinet that’s about the size of a 14-inch cube. As a result, you can showcase the Basis 150 in full view, hide it away in an AV cabinet, or discreetly place it behind furniture, all while it fills your room with fast, deep, clean bass to 30 Hz — low enough to reproduce the deepest orchestral notes. This sub’s special features include a custom built, long excursion, 10-inch woofer, a powerful 150 Watt amplifier and a few tricks from our chief engineer, Dr. Joe D’Appolito Ph.D.

The elegant Basis 150 is hand crafted in Massachusetts from real wood and solid aluminum. Ideal for Music and Movie Systems. Voiced for all Snell speakers. We tuned the Basis 150 to match the precision and balance of all Snell Series 7 models. Perfect for most listening rooms. The Basis 150 can produce a remarkable 107dB of continuous output in a 3,000 cubic-foot room. Bass extension suitable for all movie soundtracks and music recordings. Bass extension to 30Hz (-3dB). Designed by Snell’s chief engineer, Joe D’Appolito Ph.D. “The Basis 150 is a compact subwoofer of exceptional output, clarity and speed.”
