Not visible but tangible
The ultra-flexible and at the same time extremely powerful Nubert nuSub XW-800 slim is a flat subwoofer that is only 14cm slim and develops a truly astonishing performance despite its ultra-compact housing. The small dimensions do not prevent the component from playing down to 36Hz with great vigour and always generating a controlled and voluminous foundation. Even at high volumes, it remains absolutely sovereign and works with the utmost precision. Thanks to the intuitive X-Room calibration, unwanted room modes are effectively ironed out and when it comes to positioning in the room, the nuSub XW-800 slim is second to none. Whether under or behind the sofa or simply mounted on the wall, anything is possible with the Nubert flat subwoofer.
On the wall
Due to its sophisticated rail system, it is possible to operate the nuSub XW-800 slim on the wall. Ideal for your tidy living room.
Under the sofa
The XW-800 slim is the first choice when you want an invisible subwoofer. At 14 cm high, it fits under many sofas. With the wireless connection with the nuConnect trX even without cables.
Behind the couch
If under the couch is not an option, it also finds its place behind it when placed upright. This is how inconspicuous a modern subwoofer can fit into your living room.
Perfect for gaming
Not only for TV movies, but also for video games on console and PC, the nuSub XW-800 slim brings the proper portion of depth. For example, our nuPro SP-200 is in the matching set.
Details
High performance driver
The 8" driver was developed according to our requirements: High efficiency, particularly flat design with maximum stroke and precisely matched to the parameters of the bass reflex enclosure. Your advantage: a subwoofer with low power and space consumption, which combines low bass and precision and can be ideally adjusted via app.
X-Connect und X-Connect Surround
Freedom for the woofer. The nuSub series can receive both X-Connect and X-Connect Surround and can therefore be directly connected wirelessly with many Nubert devices. By means of nuConnect trX, the wireless technology can also be retrofitted to other systems. Your advantage: stable connection and free placement of the subwoofer. Further information
X-Remote
Our subwoofers don't have an included remote control, because your smartphone takes care of that. Our Nubert X-Remote app works with the power-saving Bluetooth LE standard and provides access to all functions of the subwoofer. Your advantage: full control at all times and no more aiming necessary.
X-Room Calibration
Your smartphone is also the heart for our calibration function X-Room Calibration, which automatically corrects the bass by ± 6dB in the range of 20 to 160 Hz with fully parametric equalizers. IOS devices serve directly as a microphone for the algorithm, Android devices require an additional microphone due to different hardware equipment. Your advantage: Better bass reproduction for your listening position.
Colours
Our nuSub models are silk-matt and multi-layer lacquered. The choice is yours: White for a subtle look in the living room or timeless black as a statement for the home theater?
Design
The trend is towards greater integration into living spaces and a more inconspicuous appearance for loudspeakers. The design brief was therefore clear: a clean front with gentle curves. The result is a subwoofer that could be mistaken for a seat cube and blends in discreetly.
Series overview
Our nuSub series consists of 4 models, is the latest generation of our woofers and relies on downfire technology. The subwoofers are controlled via the Nubert X-Remote app and can be calibrated to the room via X-Room Calibration from your smartphone. In addition, all subwoofers can also be controlled wirelessly via radio.

FAQ's
Questions about subwoofers
The requirements of our customers have changed over time and are increasingly moving towards greater living room integration. Therefore, the move from frontfire to downfire woofers came about at the request of our customers.
If you want to use an Android smartphone with the X-Room Calibration, you need our XRC Android interface. This is necessary because the different phone manufacturers use different microphones, drivers and operating system versions. Due to the separate microphone, we can guarantee a good result.

Überallhin Sub für Unterstützung Stereowohlklang
„Nee die nuLine 264 brauchen keinen Subwoofer, die haben eh schon reichlich Bass“ Tscha das war ja das Problem. Der Raum ist ein Dröhnwunder und erlaubte Stellpositionen waren mitten in einer Mode. Feiner Lautsprecher im eigenen Basssumpf. 😁 Dieser überraschend kleine Sub lässt sich fast überall verstecken und hilft sehr dabei, super präzisen Bass (mit Hilfe von Dirac Live) zu erreichen. Egal ob stehend, liegend, unter einem Sessel. Man kann viel experimentieren, wie es am besten klingt. Im Moment liegt er in einer Ecke. Einziger Wermutstropfen: der Eingang braucht schon reichlich Signal, damit der Sub nicht einschläft. Wer leiser hört, wird den automatischen Standby nicht nutzen können.

Erdbebenartige Bässe
Moin aus dem hohen Norden, zur Unterstützung unserer B-40, CS-64 und des XW-900 kam heute der XW-800 an. Wieder einmal: schnelle Lieferung, fantastisch verpackt. Zur Aufstellung: Von meinem ursprünglichen Plan, den XW-800 auf der Rückseite des Wohnzimmers hinter der Couch senkrecht aufzustellen, bin ich nach Beratung durch einen Nubert-Mitarbeiter abgewichen (sehr lange Kabelstrecke, Platzprobleme) und habe ihn stattdessen hochkant HINTER den OLED-LED-TV gestellt, sodaß beide Subwoofer von vorne arbeiten. Der Klang? Unglaublich! Kaum zu fassen, welche deftigen, satten und sauberen Bässe jetzt von vorn kommen! Nach dem Einmessen war es schlicht unfassbar, was sich nun tat. Keine Bassauslöschung, keine Basslöcher, dafür schöner tiefer Bass am Hörplatz. Hörtipp: Massive Attack: Mezzanine und ähnliches… Ich bin wieder mal begeistert und gratuliere der Firma Nubert… Schöne Grüße, Wolfgang

der Wolf im Schafspelz
Da ich schon länger auf der Suche nach einem kompakten Woofer, der dennoch genügend Performance bietet war, habe ich auch mal bei dem Subwoofer Spezialisten schlecht hin vorbeigeschaut, der Firma Nubert. Und tatsächlich ist hier ein flacher Subwoofer im Programm, der XW-800. Von den Maßen schon mal genau das, nach dem ich gesucht habe. Jetzt war nur noch die Frage: kann der was? Die Daten waren schon mal vielversprechend, also gleich mal bestellt. Freudig alles ausgepackt, angeschlossen, dezent unterm Sofa versteckt (der passt da echt drunter... verrückt) und aufgedreht. Dann die mit einem breiten Grinsen verbundene Erkenntnis: der kleine, so harmlos wirkende Woofer ist ein richtiger Krawallmacher. Richtig tolles Gerät, der sauber die tiefen Frequenzen abzubilden vermag und das mit richtig Wumms. Danke Nubert, ihr habt mir genau das bieten können, nach dem ich gesucht habe.

Klein aber fein
Was soll ich sagen, als Hobby Dj ist er für mich ein Problem löser. Bei mir gibt es Raummoden die ich nur mit der richtigen Subwoofer position im Griff bekomme. Nur leider ist die Position da, wo der Subwoofer aber stört. Der xw-800 slim passt da aber durch sein kleines Maß perfekt. Ich habe ihn an die Wand gehängt. Die Schrauben sind zu kurz außer man hat eine Beton Wand. Nun mit langen Schrauben an die Wand und Musik an. Jetzt klappert er bei einer gewissen Frequenz also wieder ab und moosgummi auf die Wandschrauben und Musik an. Frequenzgang auf REW Software ansehen vor und nach der Korrektur der Nubert App (X-Remote). Die App von Nubert hat 2 Raummoden leicht gesenkt da hätte ich mir mehr gewünscht (vielleicht DSP). Fazit Sehr sehr gute Verarbeitung das kleine Gehäuse hat ordentlich Druck ich habe ihn auf -11 db eingestellt. Soundqualität beim einmessen mit REW Software habe ich Wind Geräusche am Bassreflexroh gehört aber beim Musik hören nicht mehr festgestellt. Das mitgelieferte Netzkabel und Cinch Kabel sind 3m das gefällt mir. Klare Kauf Empfehlung weiter so!

Box type, sound and recommended use
The nuSub XW-800 slim is the most flexible subwoofer in the Nubert range. Because it is designed to be particularly space-saving and low and can be operated both horizontally and upright, the nuSub XW-800 slim finds a place wherever an ordinary woofer will not fit. Despite its compact dimensions, the lowest and most elegant Nubert subwoofer develops an amazing bass pressure and gives living room concerts or movie nights an impressive low bass. In addition, the versatile everywhere woofer scores with exactly the same strengths as its big siblings, including convenient app operation or optional wireless control. This makes the nuSub XW-800 slim the optimal choice for ultra-compact sub-sat sets or small but sophisticated home theater systems.
What makes the nuSub XW-800 slim so unique is its special design: narrow and squat, the bass reflex port on the side, the wide deflecting 22-centimeter chassis at the bottom. Two sturdy metal rails provide the necessary distance to the ground, which can serve not only as feet, but also for wall mounting. Thus, the compact bassist can be used either lying or upright, variably positioned or permanently installed: under the chair, behind the shelf, or even attached to the wall behind the TV. The automatic calibration with the smartphone app guarantees that the woofer always optimally exploits its sound potential in any position.
The nuSub XW-800 slim relies on the same potent amplifier electronics as the nuSubs XW-700 and XW-900 and offers the same setup and connection options. In addition to the classic cable connection, this includes optional wireless control with speakers from the nuPro X series or with the nuConnect trX transmitter module (more info in the box below). This allows the XW-800 slim to be used particularly discreetly: Power connection is enough, the connection to the AV receiver is simply by radio. The chassis is a further development of the proven driver of the XW-700 and provides powerful, driving bass lines up to 36 Hertz (at -3 decibels). It can be operated either via a simple rotary control on the connection panel or conveniently via the Nubert X-Remote app. With an Android or iOS smartphone, you can also use the X-Room Calibration app, which optimizes the bass reproduction for the room conditions - more on this in the box below.
This unit can be paired with other X-Platform products via Nubert's X-Connect and X-Connect Surround wireless standards. Both standards transmit sound data in high resolution, securely and with minimal latency. X-Connect transmits 2 channels at 192 kHz and 24 bits for maximum performance in stereo mode. X-Connect Surround, on the other hand, transmits up to 8 channels at 48 kHz and 24 bits for simple and elegant integration in multi-channel systems. The speakers of the nuPro X and XS series and the ampX transmit in the X-Connect standard, as does the nuConnect trX adapter. This can also be used to integrate hi-fi and home cinema products from other manufacturers into the wireless network. The nuPro XS-8500 RC soundbase and the nuXinema preAV AV preamplifier transmit in the X-Connect surround standard. The models in our nuSub series can therefore be used to effortlessly expand stereo satellite speakers as well as soundboards and home theater systems.
Design principle and housing
Der nuSub XW-800 slim ist als aktiver Bassreflex-Subwoofer in der sogenannten Downfire-Bauweise ausgeführt. Das bedeutet, das Chassis strahlt zum Boden hin ab; der Bassreflexport ist seitlich ausgeführt. Weil der nuSub XW-800 slim besonders flach und kompakt konstruiert ist, lässt er sich an Stellen und in Wohnsituationen einsetzen, die einem gewöhnlichen Subwoofer keinen Platz bieten, beispielsweise unter oder hinter einem Sitzmöbel. Wahlweise kann der nuSub XW-800 slim auch aufrecht betrieben werden, dann verändert sich die Ausrichtung des Treibers und der Reflexöffnung entsprechend. In jeder Position sorgen zwei Metallschienen für den optimalen Abstand zur jeweiligen Grenzfläche. Mithilfe von Schlüssellochaufhängungen an diesen Leisten lässt sich der Subwoofer auch an der Wand befestigen. Hierbei ist unbedingt darauf zu achten, dass der Untergrund das Gewicht des Subwoofers trägt und den übertragenen Vibrationen Stand hält.
Chassis
The nuSub XW-800 slim relies on a 20-centimeter chassis with extra-long stroke, which has been optimized specifically for the requirements of this subwoofer and the most powerful reproduction possible. The wide, flexible surround allows for particularly wide diaphragm excursions. The generously dimensioned drive has a high efficiency and can generate high sound pressures with the lowest possible distortion. Additional equalization is provided by the integrated signal processor, which optimally controls the chassis in every reproduction situation.
Amplifier module
The power amplifier of the nuSub woofers was designed based on the proven digital amplifiers of the nuPro series and features the same high-quality signal processing and impressive efficiency. With 180 watts nominal and 250 watts music power respectively and highest impulse fidelity, the nuSub XW-800 slim gives impressive bass performances in small to medium listening rooms. Compared to the nuSub XW-700, the XW-800 slim plays slightly less low, but reaches higher levels. All settings are managed by the built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
Optional wireless operation
The subwoofers in the nuSub series have a line input that allows them to be connected to standard receivers and amplifiers with a sub output using a Y-cable. Alternatively, each subwoofer can also receive sound signals wirelessly. Either our amplifiers nuConnect ampX and nuXinema preAV or a master speaker from the nuPro X and XS series (for example a nuPro XS-4000 or also the soundbar nuPro XS-8500) are recommended as sending stations. With the nuConnect trx, we also offer a transmitter module that can be used to make conventional receivers fit for the wireless age. The radio range is typically around 15 meters. The possibilities are endless!
Control, app and room calibration
As an alternative to the knob on the subwoofer, the free Nubert X-Remote app for iOS and Android can also be used. The use of the app is particularly recommended for complex operating procedures, as it presents advanced functions such as the definition of the crossover frequency in a particularly clear manner. The program automatically adapts the menu interface to the equipment of the respective connected device. A speaker from the nuPro X series offers different functions than, for example, the integrated amplifier nuConnect ampX.
The app's advanced features include bass equalization, which enables optimal low-frequency reproduction at the listening position and reliably minimizes dreaded room modes. The application is very easy to use: Start the app, connect to the nuSub and navigate to the X-Room Calibration entry via the main menu in the upper left corner. Now follow the instructions of the app to start the calibration. To do this, simply play and record the test signal (white noise) for a few seconds; the process is largely automatic. The smartphone or tablet then calculates the best possible tuning curve from the played back test signal and then transmits this to the subwoofer's Digital Signal Processor (DSP), where the calibration is permanently stored. The calibration can be stored in one of the preset locations so that a comparison between activated optimization and unchanged playback is possible at any time. The X-Room Calibration function can be used in parallel with the other sound settings.
Attention: For technical reasons, the calibration only works with current iOS devices using on-board tools. Android smartphones and tablets do not provide reliable measurement results due to the large number of microphones used with different parameters. The solution is the optional Nubert XRC Android Interface: a compact plug-in module that connects to the USB input (type C) of the mobile device and gives the X-Remote app access to a precise measurement microphone and a sophisticated analog-to-digital converter. This handy USB dongle can be used to accurately capture the XRC system's measurement tone or room response, and then the app can calculate the optimal correction curve and transmit it to the signal processor. More information about the application can be found in the manual.
