The Roth Sub Zero II builds on the performance of its forebear and aims to deliver great ‘sound per pound’ as well as adding the latest audio technology. The Sub Zero II has two built-in Ultra-Bass passive drivers, a pair of high performance bass drivers, and a brace of full-range drivers and has no need for a separate subwoofer.

The 60 watts of peak power Class D amplification provides the brawn for the likes of action movie bangs and crashes, and Roth say the unit is also brings a “deft touch to subtle audio moments, as well as lower volume replay”. An additional DSP setting has been included for music playback and then there’s a third DSP algorithm for voice emphasis, ideal for those who are hard of hearing and need to have clear delivery of news and current affairs programmes.
