S6 Powered Subwoofer

With 210 watts of power, the S6 is the ultimate bass support for your laptop, desktop, home theater or gaming setup. The S6 delivers deep, smooth, and punchy bass from a front-firing woofer in a sealed box that might just take you by surprise. Bottom line, prepare to have your mind blown.


Pro Tip: Place the S6 on your desk or a nearby bookshelf at ear level. Its front-firing design minimizes disruptions to neighbors and fits well in compact spaces. If you crave more powerful bass for a larger room, consider the S8.

There's Nothing "Sub" about This Subwoofer

With its highly efficient Class D amplifier and a 6″ long throw woofer, the S6 has to be heard to be believed. Audio nerds will be happy to know the S6 boasts a frequency response down to 33Hz in a sealed box design, and with adjustable crossover points between 40 – 130Hz you can dial in exactly the sound you want. The rest of you will be happy to hear it produces bass that’s punchy, smooth, and bottom-of-the-sea deep.

Here’s something everyone can appreciate: the S6 can fill most rooms with ease and, for its size, produces a powerful sound that outperforms other compact subs on the market.

4 Ways to Complete Your Soundstage - What Are You Missing?

With an Audioengine home music system, enthusiasts have a solid foundation for exceptional audio, right out of the box. However, to unlock the full depth of your music, integrating a subwoofer like the Audioengine S6 is essential. A subwoofer adds a new dimension to your music, especially in tracks rich in low-end frequencies. It enhances the depth and resonance of the bass, introducing you to an entirely new music experience, with bass that is reminiscent of your favorite live concert. The S6 will provide 17hz – 32hz more bass to your audio that you’re not going to hear without it.

Big Bass That Fits in a Little Space

Measuring in at a modest 10”H x 10”W and weighing only about 15 lbs, the S6 adds just the right amount of bass to your desktop, gaming rig, home theater or any other setup.

Now We're Just Showing Off

  • Built in 210W (140W RMS) class D amplifier provides plenty of power and volume
  • 6″ front-firing woofer in sealed enclosure, which means it’s designed to produce accurate, deep bass sounds, optimized for smaller listening environments
  • Frequency Response: 33 – 132 Hz +-1.5dB, which means the S6 can reach nice, deep tones
  • Continuously variable 40-130 Hz crossover, so you can adjust the S6 until it sounds just right
  • Phase switch (0/180°), for further fine-tuning
  • 3.5mm mini-jack input and line-level stereo/LFE RCA inputs, for sources like your phone or an amplifier/turner

We Like to Be Flexible

No two systems are alike, so we designed the S6 to work with what you’re working with. The S6 features dual analog audio inputs and can connect to two systems at once. Want to save power? The S6 offers a selectable energy saving auto-on mode that detects when there is signal from your audio source.

If you’re interested in going wireless, Audioengine’s optional W3 system uses the USB charging port so you can place the S6 wherever you want it to go.

What's in the box

Questions and answers

The S6’s crossover is a variable low-pass filter. This means it variably adjusts how high the S6 will play. Unless the subwoofer is pretty far away, you can usually leave the phase switch set to 0°.  When setting up a new S6, I like to start with the crossover all the way counter clockwise and, with some music I'm familiar with playing, first get the volume "about" right.  After that try making very small adjustments clockwise on the crossover, evaluating each small change from where you'll be listening from most often.  Once it starts sounding like you can localize where the sub is coming from, back it off until you can't again.  You may also need to lower the volume a touch after the crossover is dialed in, or perhaps even while you're dialing it in, depending on the acoustics of the room you're in, and your own preference on how present you'd like the sub to sound.   Audioengine powered speakers have fixed passive crossovers designed specifically for them; this simply means that they are designed to play the frequency range they produce, so it's not necessary to alter this when adding a subwoofer.  Adding a subwoofer, such as the S6, will pick up where the speakers leave off, extending the low end response.  
Yes! You would just need an amp, like our N22, to supply power to the P4 speakers and connect to the S6.
