Todays sub-woofers had there simple beginnings in the garage of a couple of entrepreneurial partners by the name of Arnold Nudell and Cary Christie, in the closing years of the 1960's. Mr Nudell was inventor and Mr Christie a licensed pilot . They formed a Company named New Technology Enterprises, which became known and reorganized as Infinity. The proto-type sub-woofer encasement was an 18 inch Cerwin Vega containing the addition of another winding to transfer the signal to the enclosed amp . This initial system cost just below $1800 around 1967 and around that time was some 40 % higher in cost its closest rival , which during that time was a loud-speaker system. This first enclosed bass sub-woofer system was called the Servo Statik 1.
About the exact same time a music shop owner in LA was receiving grievances from clients regarding the inability of the electrostatic speakers , considered the best of their kind in that period , to deal with the deeper bass heertz . Mr. J. Miller approached his partner and friend Ken Kreisel with the problem and Mr. Kriesel designed a powered subwoofer that handled the lower bass pitch spectrum , the bass sub-woofer.
Subwooferswas recognized by the public with their preview in the film "Earthquake." The Sensurround system was acquired and set up in numerous movie theaters throughout the nation . This system included multiple five-hundred watt amplifiers that were regulated by soundtrack control tones. By the latter part of the 1970's, as a result of this ticket office hit film , there were several hundred additional theaters that were to put up the Sensurround system to provide a different viewing encounter for their patrons .
Unfotunately, for the homeowners it was not until the bringing to market had the ability to use the reel to reel devices for recording the lower frequencies , mass creastion it was the introduction of the smaller form factor cassette/CD.
Along with the on-going advancement and miniaturization of components and innovation , sub-woofers are consistently added to today'ssurround systems and are fairly affordable compared with the very first days of New Technology Enterprises back in the late 60's.
