Know before you buy
Yes, while it is designed to pair perfectly with the CLA608A column speakers, it can be used with other full-range speakers. The built-in DSP and high-pass outputs allow you to integrate it into various sound systems effectively.
The dual 8-inch neodymium woofers allow the unit to remain compact and lightweight while delivering tight, punchy low-end response. This configuration is ideal for applications where you need professional-grade bass without the bulk of a traditional 15-inch or 18-inch subwoofer.
The integrated DSP features four factory presets that adjust the equalization and filtering to suit different acoustic environments or musical styles. These presets ensure you get the best possible performance from the subwoofer without needing external processing gear.
Yes, the enclosure is constructed from 15mm birch plywood, which is a professional standard for durability and acoustic resonance. It is built to withstand the rigors of regular live performance setups while remaining easy to handle.
The unit features an M20 threaded stand adapter on the top panel, allowing you to easily mount a speaker pole. This makes it simple to elevate your column speakers directly above the subwoofer for a clean, space-saving setup.
