Atohm Rafale V38 S
Atohm Rafale V38 S active subwoofer with bass reflex loading, fitted with a 23 cm bass-mid woofer D300P04.
Description
The Rafale V38 S is an active subwoofer from Atohm, designed to reinforce the bass register of a hi-fi or home cinema system. Its function is to provide the low-frequency energy that the main speakers cannot deliver on their own, complementing a pair of stereo speakers or a multichannel system.
This model relies on bass reflex loading, an architecture that uses a tuned port to extend bass response by making use of the air displaced behind the driver. It houses a 23 cm bass-mid woofer referenced D300P04, a dedicated driver designed to reproduce low frequencies with the air displacement required for this register. The active nature of the subwoofer means it integrates its own amplifier, which simplifies connection since it does not depend on the power of the main amplifier.
This subwoofer is aimed at music and home cinema enthusiasts wishing to fill out the low end of an existing system's sound spectrum, particularly when the main speakers lack bass extension, or in a configuration where a dedicated subwoofer can relieve the upstream electronics.

What to check before buying used
The D300P04 woofer deserves careful checking of its suspension: hardened or split foam indicates a subwoofer left unused for a long time and can affect bass performance. Also check the bass reflex port, which should remain free of any obstruction or cracks. Finally, test the built-in amplification over a period of time to rule out any humming, cutting out, or abnormal noise from the onboard electronics.
