The Cambridge Audio MSX Sub 200 is a compact active subwoofer with a 200W amplifier driving a single 6.5-inch active driver flanked by two 6.5-inch passive radiators. At just 210 x 220 x 232mm and 5.0kg, it is small enough to tuck beside furniture yet reaches down to 36Hz (-6dB) to add weight and scale to music and movies.
Why This Model Matters
The dual passive-radiator design lets a small enclosure move a lot of air with low distortion, while onboard Digital Signal Processing keeps the low end controlled at higher levels. A variable 50-200Hz crossover and 0-180 degree phase control make it easy to blend with the MSX satellite speakers or any main speakers, and auto-on standby means it wakes when signal is detected and sleeps when the system is idle.

Who It's For
The MSX Sub 200 is aimed at listeners who want genuine low-end extension without a large box dominating the room. It is the natural bass partner for the MSX 10 and MSX 20 satellites, and its flexible controls let it integrate cleanly into compact stereo or home-cinema systems built around any main speakers.
