Overview

The fact that the Aurora series doesn't compromise when it comes to the bass range is evident from the double bass configuration and generously dimensioned woofers featured by the two floorstanding models. Unrestrained bass fanatics, who need a certain something extra, or audiophile cinema enthusiasts, who consider subsonic frequencies to be essential, really can´t go wrong with the Aurora Sub 30 A. A 30 cm chassis, which is driven by a high-performance Class A/B power amplifier that boasts a maximum output of 250 watts, together with a bass range, which, despite the compact dimensions of the sub, delves deeply into the lower frequencies, combine to guarantee an impressive acoustic experience for music and film audio alike. The solid MDF housing has been designed in a particularly sturdy manner and provided with internal bracing to prevent disruptive resonance from occurring during reproduction of the huge bass range. In keeping with the other speakers in the series, the active subwoofer is also available in an "ebony black" or "ivory white" high-quality silk matte lacquer finish together with modern wood decor.

The High Notes

Top Value Subwoofer

Usually for this price you get a smaller woofer in a generic box with a Class D amp. The Heco Aurora Sub gives you a 12" Kraft Paper Cone woofer, a true Class AB amp, and a cabinet made to reduce resonance. You will not find a better value subwoofer with this kind of beautiful design anywhere near this price.

German Designed & Engineered

We are really fond of Heco's German engineered Kraft Paper Cone and love the fact they engineered a special 12" ultra stiff and long throw version for the Aurora Sub. When you put this in their anti resonante cabinet with the special L-shaped resin piece you get some very innovative German design.

Class AB Amp With Great Controls

Look at any high performance power amp and you will find it uses Class AB technology. Heco does the same with the amp for the Aurora Sub, it costs more but delivers more accurate bass. We like they added a phase control for more placement flexibility and great connectors.

The German designed and engineered Heco Sub 30A is an unbelievable subwoofer for its cost. A great subwoofer should go deep, be very fast, and be able to accurately reproduce music and special effects. That takes an excellent speaker driver, a capable amplifier, and a very inert cabinet that will not resonate. The Sub 30A covers all these points like nothing we have seen for the price.

Heco uses a classic mid century type cone for the woofer design, literally injected with modern technology. Their famous Kraft paper cone consists of renewable source pulp with German made wool fibers for great stiffness. This 12” driver is super fast and reaches very deep.

It is powered by a real class A/B power amp with audiophile type adjustment controls on the rear. The cabinet itself is almost 1” thick with a really great L shaped baffle made from a totally dead resin material to completely eliminate resonance.

Add the Sub 30A to your system and experience what bass should really sound like.

Great sub for not much coin

Paired these with the Aurora 1000's (BUY THEM!!!). I originally wasn't going to buy a sub as I only run fronts and centers but for that price, why not! I am so glad I threw these on the cart as I was buying the Anthem MRX 740 8K. I am sure that a more expensive sub with more power in the amp may sound better, but for me, these are perfect. Great value for a really good sounding sub!!

I have one and only one gripe.... The Aurora 1000 can ONLY be purchased in white and the sub can ONLY be purchased in black.... Hard to be critical as the sub sounds spectacular as well, but dammit it would be nice to have matching color from the same brand. Still a 5 star purchase.

Getting "The Sound" You Want

I have been learning how to listen to music to understand the difference between good-better-best sound, at least to me. I have tried many speakers, some cheap, some upper cheap, then moved up to budget. As I went through the budget line and got into the $200 to $300 class of these I noticed my subs were a little cheaper and seemed to hold back the better speakers. I decided to go ahead and get a couple of subs in a value that I would not have to replace with the next move up in speakers. A YouTube video led me here and at this price, I pulled the trigger. When these came in and I started listening to the $200 to $300 speakers again, I didn't get the sound I was looking for, I got way more! I have been looking for that really nice sound and now I have awesome sound. These subs increased the sound stage, the presence, and low bass notes by an incredible amount. I wish I could afford 2 more just in case, but these are very good and now I have a deep satisfaction in my stereos sound. I can stop buying more speakers and concentrate on finding more music now!

Clean and clear but needs more power

Overall happy with this sub paired with my aurora 700 towers, blends very well and love the A/B amp quality. However, it needs more power to keep up with the speakers. Even in the small room and tight space I have them in the sub volume is maxed amd could use a second sub to even out and full the room. 250 watts for speakers that can handle 400 doesn't align. At the price of two I might consider a more powerful single SVS sub or something equivalent. Lastly, it really does blend nicely and good clean accurate bass. Still need to run some tests and wish it went a little deeper. Heco needs to put a 350-400 watt amp in this thing and it would be a different story.

Not just another one note sub

Most subs at this price point use a Class D amp to save some $$, and have smaller 8-10” woofers, but HECO uses a real Class AB amp to drive it. I also love the controls on the back that let you adjust crossover frequency, phase, and the level. Tor the money, this sub has a fast bass and it doesn’t sound like a lot of those one note subs at the same price point. For the money, get this. It also works great with the other Aurora models.
