Tantrum Audio Really Mean Sub
(B-Stock)
Ex-demo unit.
Most subwoofers fall short on accuracy - high excursion drivers can result in a smeared impulse response. The feedforward correction system, Impulse Control, sees into the future and stops excess motion before it happens. The result is bass so tight your mastering engineer might finally respect you.
The built in USB-C controlled DSP is available on both the subwoofer AND main monitor outputs. Through pristine class AB output stages, it hunts down those room modes you pretend not to hear. You'll need new excuses for why that kick drum doesn't translate.
Really Mean Sub's balanced configuration cancels out any remaining reactive forces inside our exceptionally robust 24mm thick sandwich baffle MDF enclosure. Structural vibrations are reduced, improving intermodulation distortion and allowing you to make faster, more accurate decisions.
At just 28cm tall, the Really Mean Sub scores high on partner approval. But with 400W of ICEpower amplification inside, this subwoofer delivers bass that stays brutally clean even when cranked to volumes guaranteed to have you sleeping on the sofa. Consider yourself warned.
Most pros avoid subwoofers because they're a nightmare to integrate; nobody really knows what those phase and delay knobs actually do - Tantrum fixed that. The Quick Alignment tool measures and syncs the Really Mean Sub's timing dead-on with any speaker.

B-Stock Gear FAQs
What does B-Stock mean?
In the UK you can only sell items as New if they are in their unopened, original packaging. But what happens to the items that may have been sold and returned within the purchase cool off period? They can’t be sold as new anymore because the box has been opened. It’s not new, but it’s also not second-hand, so it is then classed as B-Stock and typically priced somewhere in between. The same also applies for items that might have been scratched or dented in the manufacturing process or during delivery.
All of our B-Stock items are sold on behalf of our manufacturing partners and are under 3 month Make Noise Pro Audio warranty and in certain circumstances the original manufacturers warranty too.
All units will have been either fully tested by us in-house or a factory QC by the manufacturer where appropriate.

B-stock units are usually in "as new" condition. You get the reassurance of being a relatively unused product with the lower cost vs buying new.
