The high-quality amplification technology delivers incredible power with professional-grade audio clarity, so you get every punch and beat with maximum impact. Crafted with carefully selected materials, this subwoofer is engineered for remarkable sound quality and excellent durability. A stylish and modern design makes it a beautiful addition to any home. Get ready to experience music and movies like never before!

Hex Technology

Surround geometry allows for a very linear relationship between applied force and resulting displacement in both directions. This ensures faithful reproduction of the recorded signal with low distortion even at high playback volumes.

Aluminum Sandwich Woofer

These new high excursion woofers utilize a rigid and lightweight aluminum cone sandwiched between two treated paper cones using a unique gluing process. This method retains the transient benefits of cellulose cones with the torsional rigidity of aluminum and allows for exceptionally long cone throws for better handling of high signal levels and low bass.

Custom Design

Satin-painted, elegant, and acoustically balanced 35mm cabinet. Damped and internally braced to eliminate unwanted resonance for maximum performance

Custom Amplifier

Powerful BASH amplifier with Dual 4-channel DSP and 32-Bit DACs. Built-in wireless receiver and BLE App control.

DSP Digital Signal Processor

A dual 28-Bit DSP with a 147mHz master clock frequency is utilized to process audio signals with high accuracy and minimum latency.

Auto EQ

Finding the perfect location for your subwoofer can be difficult or just not visually appealing. Utilizing our new Sub Control 3.0 app and your smartphone microphone, the subwoofer will optimize room EQ automatically, allowing greater flexibility in placement without sacrificing performance.

BASH Amplifier

All seven models utilize BASH technology. Simply put, there is no better amplifier for subwoofers. Its tracking voltage means that the amplifiers can be designed with maximum voltage swing, providing all the power that is needed and additional dynamic power without thermal penalty. ELAC subwoofers play louder than the competition for a given power. That is because higher voltage allows higher power as, inevitably, the impedance of a driver increases with frequency. More power compelling dynamic = better subwoofers!
