Does anybody know why active subwoofers do not have sensitivity rating?
Manufacturers of audio speakers (bookshelf and floorstanding) always provide sensitivity rating in their speakers specification (for example 87dB (2.83V / 1m)).
But I couldn’t find any active subwoofer with provided sensitivity rating. Why?
Because they all have built-in power amplifiers and so you can adjust the sensitivity over a wide range (and also adjust the frequency at which they come into play). The concept of sensitivity doesn’t really apply to them.
