AVE Fusion 10S Black Studio Monitor Subwoofer – 10 Inch

The AVE Fusion10 Black is both powerful and efficient. The 10-inch active subwoofer is designed specifically for studio use but also offers enough versatility for any way you intend on using it. 

The clear and round bass sound from the 10S perfectly complements any studio monitor setup and the fuller frequency range means it’s more than capable for use in precise mixing. Additional features include a variable crossover and 35Hz subsonic filter to prevent phasing issues with any existing monitors you may have. The subwoofer itself is equipped with volume control, a phase inversion switch, and selectable auto power function for the ultimate levels of customisation. 

When it comes to design, the custom glass aramid composite cone and slotted ports ensure detailed and punchy low-frequency response all the while ensuring distortion minimisation reduces distortion. The AVE Fusion 10S Black may come at a budget price but it’s highly professional audio equipment and perfect for use in studios, rooms and any other spaces you may need it for.

Behringer K10 Studio Monitor Subwoofer 10 Inch

The second Behringer offering on this list of best budget monitor speakers is the NEKKST K10S Studio Subwoofer.

The K10S is perfectly constructed for use in a range of environments thanks to the custom-engineered bridge-mode amplifier providing a sufficiently deep, rich, and tight bass sound. 

The front-firing port ensures outstanding low-frequency extension without many of the typical issues other monitors have.
