According to our HiFi speaker expert
When you add the Yamaha YST-SW012 to your home cinema system, you're ready for the real movie theater experience. The subwoofer produces powerful, deep sounds that are distributed optimally because of the bass reflex opening on the side. The classic design of the Yamaha YST-SW012 fits any interior, so quality and style go hand in hand.

Our Denon dm-39 micro chain (also for sale here) was a bit short of breath when reproducing the tones below 100hz. The chain has a separate sub output for a subwoofer, so connecting with the supplied cinch cable is a piece of cake. Plug in the socket, turn up the volume knob on the subwoofer to taste and you suddenly have the feeling that you have bought a much larger installation. Don't look for controls to set the cut-off frequency or also the phase, there simply aren't any and to be honest, I didn't miss them. The finish is in black wood imitation, and I was really surprised that you can buy such a beautifully finished whole for such a low price. In our view better than the modern piano lacquer dust magnets. Rubber discs are even included as feet. Keep in mind that this is not a dwarf, on the other hand it can also be heard through the full bass. If you set the volume in such a way that the subwoofer almost unnoticed supplements the small speakers, you will certainly not be bothered by disturbing rumbles. This simple Yamaha succeeds well in producing a full, warm bass. I had my doubts, it turns out they were wrong. We use our micro chain for playback of Classical music as well as Hard Rock and Pop. This subwoofer is also a plus if you want to give the sound of a flat screen TV some body through your stereo. It is a pity that there is no standby function on the subwoofer, Simply with power on, and without playing music, the consumption is already 6.3 watts. That is a standby consumption of an old picture tube TV from the time when there was no green electricity. Power and Volume button are on the back, along with the power LED. So you don't see that it stays up. The LED has a bundled beam of light, if the subwoofer is not too far from a wall, you can see from the reflection on the wall that you have forgotten it again :) The power button is rather low on the back, it's always a bit of blind groping to find it. If you do not have a separate subwoofer or preamp out on your amplifier, I think it is wiser to ignore this subwoofer. Conclusion: great value for money and really good.

Connection went smoothly, I don't have a special Subwoofer output on my Harman Kardon, then use the Pre-Amp output and the result is fine! Thanks to the volume knob on the back of the Yamaha, you can perfectly adjust the bass volume to your own taste.

Easy to connect, turn the volume until you just hear it (40% volume). Gives just that bit of bass that my normal speakers lacked without being annoying.
