Hippo
Active Analog Subwoofer
Deep Bass Without Compromise
HIPPO uses a passive radiator enclosure to deliver extended low-frequency response without the drawbacks of traditional ported designs. By eliminating turbulence and resonance, it produces clean, fast, and tightly controlled bass with excellent definition.
Designed for Seamless Integration
Engineered to pair naturally with nearfield and midfield monitors, HIPPO provides accurate sub-bass reinforcement that enhances scale and depth without overpowering the mix. The result is a balanced, coherent low end that translates reliably.
Fast Transients, Clear Pitch
The passive radiator design minimizes phase anomalies in the critical low-mid region, preserving transient detail and pitch accuracy. This makes HIPPO especially effective for critical listening and precise mix decisions.
Pure Analog Signal Path
HIPPO follows a fully analog architecture, maintaining the natural character of the source without digital artifacts. The sound remains rich, musical, and direct, revealing subtle dynamics and tonal nuance.
Transparent Protection
An acoustically transparent grille provides physical protection while staying sonically invisible. Its high open-area perforation ensures clarity, balance, and transient response remain unchanged.
Refined Aesthetics
Available in two premium colors, HIPPO features a soft-touch, silky matte finish that complements both modern studios and refined home setups.
