The Sony XS-W104ES 10″ subwoofer from the prestigious Mobile ES (Elevated Standard) Series represents Sony’s engineering excellence in bass reproduction. Featuring a revolutionary Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) cone that combines mica flakes and paper pulp with a honeycomb-shaped aramid fiber core, this subwoofer delivers extraordinarily clean, accurate bass with minimal distortion even at the highest volume levels.
Every aspect of this premium subwoofer has been meticulously engineered to maximize performance while minimizing unwanted resonance. From the distinctive notched rubber surround that ensures precise cone movement to the acoustically-optimized double-layered spider and five-beam frame design that virtually eliminates resonance, the XS-W104ES delivers superior low-frequency punch with remarkable accuracy and musicality in both sealed and ported enclosure applications.
