Things to Know

Fosi Audio TB10D (Upgraded)

  • Volume control is logarithmic but very sensitive; gets loud at the 9 o'clock position.
  • Tone controls lack a center detent, making it hard to know when you are truly 'flat'.
  • DC input spark is common when plugging in the power supply (connect to amp first, then wall).

Fosi Audio ZA3

  • Frequency response is load-dependent (high frequencies may rise with 8Ω loads due to lack of PFFB).
  • The subwoofer output is full-range pass-through on the main terminals; it does not filter bass from the main speakers.
  • Volume control is defeated in Mono mode, requiring a preamp.
