Know before you buy
The dual opposed driver configuration cancels out internal vibrations, which significantly reduces cabinet resonance. This results in cleaner, more precise bass output with less distortion, even at high volumes.
Yes, the 1,600-watt amplifier and dual 12-inch drivers provide enough power and output to fill medium to large rooms effectively. Its ability to reach down to 10 Hz ensures a deep, cinematic impact for demanding movie soundtracks.
Absolutely. The integrated DSP and high-speed driver response allow it to maintain the detail and speed required for musical accuracy while still delivering the raw power needed for explosive movie effects.
The two quadratic planar infrasonic radiators allow the subwoofer to achieve extremely low frequency extension while maintaining a more compact cabinet size. They work in tandem with the active drivers to move more air, resulting in deeper, more resonant bass than a sealed box of the same size could produce.
The subwoofer features both a direct-coupled LFE input for home theater receivers and low-level left and right channel inputs for stereo systems. This flexibility allows it to integrate seamlessly into a wide variety of audio setups.
The unit measures 17.6 inches high, 19.75 inches wide, and 15.9 inches deep. Given its weight of 78 pounds and the active driver movement, you should place it on a stable, flat surface to ensure optimal performance.
