Subwoofer Drive Unit

Heavy weight long-throw motor design with

aluminium Faraday ring for reduced distortion.

Magnetically shielded.

4-layer copper coil for high power capacity.

FEA

1

optimised coil and magnet design to give

a linear BL profile

2

.

Rear suspension and surround FEA optimised

to give maximum linear excursion resulting in

reduced distortion.

Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR)

Balanced symmetrical low profile ABR

design for more linear excursion and

reduced distortion.

Internally vented ABR air cavity resulting

in less compliance damping giving better

LF performance.

1

FEA = Finite Element Analysis - a design development process where individual components are modelled and analysed within a
computer program.

2

BL profile = measurement of the motor force factor on the speaker driver over the working displacement of the magnetic coil.

3

Opto-coupled LED and light sensitive resistor senses overdrive and automatically limits this to prevent damage to the unit.

Electronics

Highly efficient 250W class D

amplifier.

Thermal and overcurrent

protection built into the

amp and power supply

unit ensuring ultra reliable

performance.

Sophisticated limiter system to

prevent voltage overload is

optimised for maximum

audio quality
