Unmatched Power and Performance

Low Frequency Effects Channel

The LFE15 is designed to handle the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel with ease, thanks to its formidable 1400-watt power output. The dual 15″ subwoofers ensure deep bass extension down to an impressive 15Hz, offering unparalleled low-frequency reproduction.

Dual-Force™ Technology

At the heart of the LFE15 are its two opposing 15” drivers, which work together to cancel out cabinet vibrations. This unique Dual-Force™ Technology ensures tight and dynamic bass that enhances the overall sound quality of your audio setup.

Seamless Integration with Barefoot Monitors

Compatibility with All Barefoot Products

The LFE15 integrates seamlessly with all Barefoot Sound monitors, making it a versatile addition whether you are enhancing a Barefoot surround system or constructing a Dolby Atmos setup. The subwoofer’s ability to extend bass frequencies down to 15Hz guarantees an immersive audio experience that is second to none.

Stereo Boost Mode

The innovative Stereo Boost Mode sets the LFE15 apart from typical 2.1 crossovers. This mode employs a 1st-order minimum phase low-pass filter to enhance low frequencies in a stereo setup, preventing phase cancellation and delivering extraordinary power and depth to your sound.
