Black Box

Deep space meet deep bass.

There is no other compact acoustic treatment device that you can place in your listening room to solve your low-frequency problems except the Synergistic Research Black Box. Based on our award-winning and patented sympathetic resonance technology, the Black Box is an (all in one) Broad Spectrum Low-Frequency Resonator Array with UEF Tech that effectively eliminates bass nodes while expanding your room’s ability to accurately portray low-frequency information and spacial content. Working from the principle that all frequencies in the audible bandwidth are linked through harmonics, the Black Box balances low frequencies, mid-range, and high frequencies through a mathematically derived algorithm based on tuned sympathetic resonance. So when you get the phase correct at 20Hz for example, it clears up every multiple of 20Hz so, 40Hz, 80Hz, 160Hz and on.

Even if you don’t have a bass problem in your listening room you can benefit from the Black Box. With improved low-frequency definition in perfect phase alignment with all frequencies that make up your favorite music, you hear natural sounding bass in a holographic soundstage with mid's and high's that sound natural and transparent. And unlike large bass traps, the Black Box performs this feat in a small, aesthetically pleasing package. The Black Box sits on three stiletto spikes decoupling it from your floor for improved response. Black Box measures only 9.5″L X 9.5″W X 6″H (8″ when spiked) and weighs about 8 lbs.

Place Black Box equal distance between speakers, 3″ or more off the front wall.

Place Black Box off to either side behind speakers and in corners, 3″ or more off the walls. Please note! DO NOT PLACE DIRECTLY BEHIND SPEAKERS.

When installing 2 each Black Boxes place first unit equal distance between speakers, 3″ or more from the front wall. Place second unit on either side wall, slightly in front of listening position, 3″ or more from the wall.

Optional placement of second Black Box. Place Black Box 3″ of more from the rear wall behind your listening position.

When installing 3 each Black Boxes place first unit equal distance between speakers, 3″ or more from the front wall. Place second  and third unit in each back corner of the room, 3″ or more from the wall.

Optional placement with installing 3 each Black Boxes place first unit behind listening position, 3″ or more from the wall. Place second and third unit in each front corner of the room, 3″ or more from the wall.
