Know before you buy
This unit has been factory-inspected and tested to ensure it performs to original specifications. The 'outlet' designation refers specifically to minor cosmetic imperfections on the top cap and base plate, which do not affect the internal components or audio quality.
The cylindrical shape allows for a larger internal volume in a smaller footprint, which helps the subwoofer reach deeper frequencies without taking up as much floor space as a traditional square cabinet.
Variable port tuning allows you to adjust the subwoofer's frequency response to better match your room or your listening preferences. By plugging or unplugging the ports, you can choose between a deeper, more cinematic bass extension or a tighter, more punchy response for music.
Yes, the PC12-Plus features both RCA and balanced XLR inputs. This makes it compatible with a wide range of home theater receivers, pre-amplifiers, and professional audio gear.
No, this unit is covered by the same 5-year unconditional warranty as a brand-new model. You receive full manufacturer support for the internal electronics and driver performance.
The unit stands 39.6 inches tall and has an outer diameter of 16.6 inches. Because it uses a down-firing driver, ensure it is placed on a solid, level surface to maintain stability and performance.
