Reference Sub-Bass in a Compact Footprint | Available at Trimira Audio
The Wilson Audio LōKē is a compact powered subwoofer designed to extend the low-frequency performance of smaller Wilson Audio loudspeakers and high-performance stereo systems without requiring the physical scale of Wilson Audio's larger subwoofer platforms.
Developed by Wilson Audio's Special Applications Engineering (SAE) team, the LōKē combines a 10-inch long-throw woofer, integrated 500-watt amplification, and Wilson Audio composite-material construction in a relatively compact enclosure.
At Trimira Audio, we recommend the LōKē for compact listening rooms and systems based around loudspeakers such as the TuneTot, SabrinaX, and Alida CSC, where additional low-frequency extension and controlled integration are required.
Key Features & Technological Innovations
X-Material & S-Material Composite Cabinet
The LōKē combines Wilson Audio's proprietary materials within its enclosure.
X-Material forms the primary cabinet structure, while S-Material is used for the front baffle.
The rigid construction is designed to minimise cabinet flex and unwanted mechanical resonance during high-output operation.
500-Watt Internal Amplification
A dedicated 500-watt RMS Class-D amplifier provides the power required to drive the 10-inch long-throw woofer.
The integrated amplifier eliminates the need for a separate subwoofer power amplifier, simplifying system installation.
Custom 10-Inch Long-Throw Driver
The LōKē incorporates a 10-inch (25.4 cm) long-throw woofer designed around the volume and loading characteristics of its compact enclosure.
The driver provides the displacement required to extend the low-frequency response while maintaining controlled transient behaviour.
ActivXO-Derived Tuning Controls
The rear-panel control system provides adjustment of:
- Low-pass frequency
- Crossover slope
- Gain
- Continuous phase from 0°–180°
These controls allow the LōKē to be matched more precisely to the main loudspeakers and listening environment.
Flexible Connectivity
The LōKē provides both RCA and balanced XLR connectivity, allowing integration into a range of two-channel and active audio systems.

Ideal System Applications
The LōKē is particularly suited to compact and medium-sized systems where a larger subwoofer would be unnecessarily imposing.
Potential applications include:
- Wilson Audio TuneTot systems
- Wilson Audio SabrinaX systems
- Wilson Audio Alida CSC systems
- Compact two-channel rooms
- High-end living-room systems
- Desktop or nearfield systems requiring deeper bass
- Compact home cinema and media rooms
The compact enclosure and integrated amplifier make it straightforward to incorporate into an existing system.
Subwoofer Integration
Correct crossover and phase alignment are important when integrating the LōKē with the main loudspeakers.
A typical two-channel configuration can use:
Preamplifier → Main Amplifier + LōKē
The LōKē's adjustable crossover, slope, gain, and phase controls allow the transition between the main loudspeakers and subwoofer to be optimised for the room.
For stereo systems, a pair of LōKē subwoofers can also provide symmetrical low-frequency loading and improved spatial consistency where appropriate.
