Does this device improve audio at all, and does it enable a use of a subwoofer?

It does have EQ settings but audio improvement is also dependent upon speakers and amp (if one is used). Yes, it does have a subwoofer output.

the subwoofer is integral with the sound bar - it should work with the other speakers in the sound bar assuming your other speakers are working - do not expect the bass to be as full as a separate subwoofer although the volume will be more than sufficient

Will it improve the sound of TV? Absolutely. The array of speakers on the bar alone provide better sound and the subwoofer, though comparatively modest as subwoofers go, truly fills out the bottom end. We don't have the system on all the time, just when we watch shows with music or movies. and the difference is dramatic. There are much better soundbars out there but they all cost a lot more. For our bedroom TV, a 32" Sony, it works very well indeed.

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

Don't expect miracles, but I think it does improve the sound of movies, and my wife agrees. How much of an improvement depends on the quality of your existing TV speakers. I was impressed with the quality of YouTube music videos that we played as well. It's a waste of time watching movies that you can't properly hear, so I figured it was worth buying a high rated sound bar. It's a personal decision in the end.

It doesn't improve it per say, just makes it louder. If you want improvement, then you need to purchase/upgrade your DAC, cabling and headphones.

I personally haven't added nothing extra to the system and it sounds great. Between the amp and this device, nothing but bass comes thru the subs. Side note I did notice the bass setting on the radio does add/decrease the bass thru the subs. just for tuning purposes.

You can easily add a subwoofer to a system. There is a dedicated subwoofer out port.

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

There is a line level subwoofer output but not a speaker level subwoofer output. I am using a powered subwoofer with RX-A830.

This subwoofer was designed for an amplifier that has either a dedicated (pre-amplified) subwoofer output (that's connected to this unit's single RCA input) or a pair of bare speaker wires (that are amplified). The audio output of tablets, phones, etc. is about line level like the red & white RCA jacks, so in theory you could connect them. (There are 3.5mm jack to RCA plug converter cables for those devices.) BUT I DON'T THINK IT'LL SOUND ANY GOOD for 2 reasons: 1 - this subwoofer only gives you bass and filters our any high frequencies, so you won't hear much of your music; 2 - the input is mono, so you'll lose 1 channel of the 2 right away. This woofer was designed to complement a pair of regular speakers, so it can't substitute them.

Yeah I used a powered sub with this system and it improves the sound quite a bit. I don't remember exactly how I did it but it was pretty easy.

it should add more power to your speakers... might make them clearer... upgrading speakers will make in clearer for sure.

Yes It does. But I just setup my PC last night and didn't plug it in. I've heard it's not that good. We'll see.Update: I used the subwoofer for a few days and it's not any good. In fact, I removed it and plugged back in my logitech 2.1 speaker system and the PC came alive.

No it doesn't. Sound quality is compatible with a minimum stock head unit and doesn't have equalizer function.

I'm not sure what kind of sound you have that needs improving. I'm amplifying a weak signal from my computer's sound card. I'm getting more than enough amplification, and the sound is as clear as I would expect.

It doesn't improve sound quality but if you have headphones with a gold pin this is the adapter you should buy. A silver one will ruin your sound quality.
