“I give a standing ovation to Jim Thiel
and the gang at THIEL Audio for not
only conceiving of the SmartSub and its
ancillaries, but making them a reality.
THIEL has taken a well-known product
[category], addressed its deficiencies,
improved its performance and made it
more intuitive to use. Voilà—they‘ve re-
engineered the status quo.”
—Marc Mickelson,

ur goal in developing a subwoofer system
was to produce a product that achieves a very high
sonic quality but does not exhibit the sonic
problems typical of subwoofers. In particular,
conventional subwoofer systems usually do not
integrate well sonically with other speakers in the
system and our SmartSub products were originally
inspired by the now patented idea of an electronic
means of generating subwoofer crossover
characteristics that could be made to perfectly
match any main speaker. In addition, unbalanced
response caused by placement near walls has also
been solved in our SmartSub designs. We believe
that the major problems of subwoofers have been
effectively eliminated in our THIEL SmartSub
subwoofer products.
