About the Janis W1

The Janis W1 is a high-end subwoofer that was designed by John Marovskis in the mid-1970s. It features a flat frequency response from 30 to 100 Hz (-3dB) and is equipped with a 15-inch driver. The subwoofer is highly regarded for its ability to blend seamlessly with various speakers, including high-end mini monitors. It is often paired with the Janis Interphase, an electronic crossover module that includes a 60 Watt amplifier. This setup allows for continuous variable phase adjustment (0-180º), ensuring optimal integration with satellite speakers regardless of the subwoofer's position in the room. The Janis W1 is praised for its accurate and fast bass response, making it suitable for audiophile setups. It is housed in a high-grade furniture-quality enclosure with a star-configured top veneer, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
