The Arke Audio Bass Enhancer is an alternative to a subwoofer and takes a fundamentally different approach to low-frequency reproduction. Rather than simply adding more bass (like a subwoofer may), it works harmoniously with your Arke speakers to address the specific acoustic challenges of your listening environment.

The Timing Advantage

Conventional subwoofers - particularly ported designs - typically exhibit group delay measurements of 20ms or higher in the lower frequencies. This temporal lag creates an audible disconnect between bass notes and the rest of the music, resulting in smeared transients and rhythmic incoherence.

The Arke Audio Kratos is an audiophile bass unit, and through its sealed design achieves extension to 20Hz while maintaining a remarkably low 10ms group delay at 30Hz, perfectly matching our Mikros and Solos speakers (5-10ms GD at 30-50Hz). The result? Bass that starts and stops with precision, maintaining perfect synchronization with your main speakers.
