is it active or passive sub? and does it work on 220V?

It's active and the U.S.A. & Canada model is 120V 60hz only (this model). I referred to the manual for this info. Hope it helps.

Active sub, wired for 110v (N. American). For 220V you'll have to use a reducer / adapter... It is a killer subwoofer though!!

The difference seems to be in the input voltage, so it's not just the model number. Even though Philips web site for this lists that it accepts "110-240V", all of the main sound bar unit, subwoofer unit and the manual state that it accepts 120V only. If I knew this, I wouldn't have gotten it from USA.Getting big chunky adapter kind of defeats the idea of a soundbar that I wanted to mount on the wall, but I'll see if I can replace/upgrade the internal power supply instead.

Hi PL, the unit is rated for 120 volts. It is a good buy, and it is not loud, or messy.

Hello There - It is 120V. If it is not much of a hassle you can get a converter socket which works fine.

It is junk. It did not have near as much punch as I wanted to drive my receiver and I immediately unhooked it and ordered another one. Bite the bullet and spend 200 plus so you don't have to buy two to get one. If passive means that you can keep it turned on but it uses no power and puts out no signal unless stimulated by the turntable, then I think they all may be passive. Chuck

110v. You can get a plug-in converter if you need to use overseas. Make sure it's amps are compatable

It's just a resistor. Use it with 220V to 240V just cut the rated Watts in half.

120v and the power cable attaches to the sub. (There's no info on the cable, only the sub. On the sub it says: 120v 60Hz 300W)

It's not battery operated. I am not sure if it will work with 220 V.You can either use it with a voltage converter or better still call/email the manufacturer to confirm. They are super helpful.

I personally use this device at 110v. I do not recall seeing a switch enabling its ability to function at 220v, nor am I aware if it has an "autosense" capability to recognize the input voltage. Someone within my household tossed the manual that came with it, but I would imagine that a quick search online for the manual would result with a more precise answer to this question.

It was a gift that I sent so I can't test it. However I am pretty sure it's not going to work on 220v. I am fairly certain as most all small kitchen appliances in US it uses 110v.

Wire plugs in to sound bar to and from sub. Sound bar powers sub. its Rad buy it. I use it with an additional sound system in a large room.

Yes, these are passive tubes, not powered. Because they are dual voice coils, you can wire this sub for either 2 or 8 ohm. Amp that you use will have to be 2 ohm compliant and it will have to have a low frequency crossover. Good luck.

SVS makes both 110V and 220V versions of the sub. The shipping box my sub came in actually had two check boxes: one for 110v and another for 220v. You can probably get all the details by emailing them directly at their site.

It is 24v.....I bought the same unit. I use it on a large sound bar. It requires pure clean DC current.

The powered subwoofer is 120V only. The satellite speakers are powered by your AVR receiver, so 120 vs. 220 is fine.

Yes, ass a passive (as opposed to active) subwoofer, it receives its power from the receiver. The only connections to the subwoofer are for speakers IN and speakers OUT.
