We have featured a number of different ceramic speaker designs here on Geeky Gadgets, but one of the first pairs of speakers we featured were designed by Joey Roth, back in 2009.
Now product designer Joey Roth has created a ceramic subwoofer to complement his ceramic speakers, which are very unique in their minimalist design, and have been constructed using porcelain, stainless steel, and Baltic birch.
The Design and Materials
The design of Joey Roth’s ceramic subwoofer is a testament to his commitment to minimalism and high-quality materials. The subwoofer, like the speakers, is crafted from porcelain, which is known for its durability and ability to produce a clean, resonant sound. The use of stainless steel not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion. Baltic birch, a type of plywood known for its strength and smooth finish, is used for the base, providing a sturdy foundation that complements the overall design.
Roth explains: “The Ceramic Subwoofer extends your system’s frequency response down to 40 Hz. While you will physically feel bass-heavy music, you’ll also notice new richness in vocals and acoustic instruments. The sound is neither boomy nor aggressive, but a balanced completion of the Ceramic Speakers.”
Performance and Sound Quality
The performance of the ceramic subwoofer is where it truly shines. Extending the frequency response down to 40 Hz means that it can handle the deep bass notes that are often missing in smaller speaker systems. This is particularly important for genres of music that rely heavily on bass, such as electronic dance music (EDM), hip-hop, and certain types of rock. However, the subwoofer is not just about adding bass; it enhances the overall sound quality by adding depth and richness to vocals and acoustic instruments. This balanced sound profile ensures that the music is immersive and enjoyable, without being overwhelming or distorted.
Shipping for the new ceramic subwoofer and speaker systems will start in December 2012, with a price tag of $1095 a set. This price point places it in the premium category, but considering the materials used and the sound quality delivered, it offers good value for audiophiles and design enthusiasts alike.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts
Joey Roth’s ceramic subwoofer and speakers are more than just audio equipment; they are pieces of art that blend form and function seamlessly. The minimalist design ensures that they can fit into any modern home decor, while the high-quality materials and exceptional sound performance make them a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about their audio experience. Whether you are a casual listener or an audiophile, these speakers and subwoofer offer a unique combination of aesthetic appeal and sound quality that is hard to find in the market.
