Stenheim Alumine Sub: A Sophisticated Entry into High-End Subwoofers
Stenheim makes a refined entry into the ultra high-end subwoofer market with the debut of the Alumine Sub at High End Munich 2025. Unlike the heavy-hitting competitors aiming to dominate the low end with sheer power, the Alumine Sub focuses on delivering bass with unparalleled finesse and control. Designed as an active 10-inch subwoofer, it seamlessly integrates with Stenheim’s Alumine loudspeakers, particularly the Two and Two.Five models, while also maintaining compatibility with other brands.
Engineered with precision, the Alumine Sub boasts a full aluminum construction featuring an intricate three-chamber internal structure and an isobaric topology. This design ensures constant pressure between the two 10-inch high-excursion drivers, effectively reducing distortion and allowing for a compact yet powerful enclosure. The 1200-watt audiophile-grade amplifier provides robust performance, articulating low-end textures and dynamic nuances with startling realism that elevates any high-fidelity system.
Customization and adaptability are at the forefront of the Alumine Sub’s design. Equipped with onboard digital signal processing, users can fine-tune frequency, gain, and phase through a dedicated app or web interface, tailoring the sound to their room’s acoustics. Whether paired with Stenheim’s larger Alumine Three and Five models or integrated into a diverse audio setup, the subwoofer delivers precise low-end definition without compromising overall clarity. Multiple input options, including XLR, RCA, High-Level, SPDIF, and Optical, ensure versatile connectivity for various audio configurations.
Visually, the Alumine Sub upholds Stenheim’s reputation for aesthetic excellence. Available in Light Grey or Dark Grey as standard, and customizable in Black, Ivory, or Mocca, the subwoofer’s sleek aluminum finish complements its sophisticated internal engineering. Weighing 35kg, its substantial presence is matched by the meticulous craftsmanship that characterizes Swiss precision. With a frequency response ranging from 20Hz to 200Hz, the Alumine Sub promises to deliver a balanced and immersive listening experience for discerning audiophiles.
Priced at €17,500, the Stenheim Alumine Sub represents a significant investment in high-end audio performance. Its combination of advanced technical features, elegant design, and superior bass articulation positions it as a standout choice for those seeking to enhance their audio systems with Swiss-engineered excellence.
