KEF Kube 12 MIE, active sealed-enclosure subwoofer with a 300 mm driver and a 300 W RMS Class D amplifier. It reaches down to 22 Hz for a maximum output of 114 dB.

A port lets the bass trail behind the signal. The Kube 12 MIE does without one: the driver works inside a sealed cabinet, the trapped air acts as a spring and pulls it back into position as soon as the signal stops. Output stops at 22 Hz at ±3 dB, a touch higher than a bass-reflex model of the same size, but every bass note starts and ends when the score says so.
The 300 mm (12-inch) cone moves a large volume of air. Behind it, a 300 W RMS Class D amplifier keeps the cone under control up to a maximum output of 114 dB. That headroom matters less for loudness than for what happens below it: at normal listening levels, the amplifier never strains.
A subwoofer in a corner resonates, one in the middle of a wall disappears. The Kube 12 MIE's MIE processor corrects for what the room adds: three placement settings (furniture, wall, corner), a low-pass filter adjustable from 40 to 140 Hz and an LFE mode, all set from the rear panel.
Two RCA line inputs and one speaker-level input cover both the built-in amp and a home-cinema processor. An extension connector accepts the KW1 wireless kit, sold separately, when running a cable to the subwoofer isn't practical. The cabinet measures 410 × 393 × 410 mm for 18.6 kg.
