The event

The session «Il subwoofer: molto più di una questione di bassi» (The subwoofer: much more than a matter of bass) closes the cycle «Lezioni di Ascolto». The subwoofer, the presentation recalls, immediately brings to mind powerful, spectacular bass, but its more interesting task is to improve the balance of the entire hi-fi system, making reproduction more natural, credible and engaging.

The session aims to show how the subwoofer can help counter the acoustic problems of the home environment, often the main limit to listening quality. Practical demonstrations will illustrate correct placement, proper calibration and, when possible, the use of several subwoofers, to achieve a more linear frequency response, a more stable soundstage and fast, articulate bass. Room correction systems will also be discussed.

It is part of «Lezioni di Ascolto 2026/2027», a cycle of seven sessions in Studio 3, all at 8:00 p.m., from November 25, 2026 to May 24, 2027, curated by journalists Giancarlo Valletta and Giulio Salvioni: the series aims to help audiences listen more attentively to recorded music, with a clear and accessible overview of the world of audio reproduction.
