Direct Servo technology
All our subwoofers feature our Direct Servo technology, which is our secret to achieving tight and accurate bass. The benefits are far more than simply achieving low distortion.
Driver features include:
- Rigid one piece dish shape black anodized aluminum cone ensuring control at high SPL
- High flux density in the gap to ensure low distortion
- Flux de-modulation shorting rings to lower inductance and improve linearity
Quality enclosure
Our enclosures are very solid and well braced to minimize any cabinet resonances or coloration. The baffle into which the driver is mounted is double thickness.
Bass extension controls
The bass extension controls enable the user to customize the frequency response of the low end. The controls customize a high pass filter to set up the corner frequency of bass roll-off. The damping control determines the steepness of roll-off and the amount of time domain ringing. High damping provides the least amount of time domain ringing and the most gradual roll-off curve. Low damping provides the steepest roll-off at the low end at the expense of added time domain ringing. Low damping is more suitable for HT use. For two port operation, we recommend 12hz/low damping setting. For three port operation, we recommend 14hz/mid damping setting. For best music playback 2 port operation with 12hz high damping setting is recommended.
Crossover options
For customers with an AVR or pre-processor, we recommend LFE inputs which bypass the crossover control. In this case, the crossover should be controlled via AVR. If you are still using stereo receiver or conventional pre/power amp setup with no bass management, then we recommend LINE input and set the crossover/phase controls to where the front speakers start to roll-off
