US model

120 VAC 50/60 Hz

International model 230 VAC 50/60 Hz

Dimensions

13" x 13" x 13"

Weight

50 lbs

0.75 Vrms from right input with volume control at 0 dB, 200 mVrms volume control fully clockwise*

Input Impedance:

30 kΩ for Line-Level inputs

56 kΩ for Hi-Level inputs

40 kΩ for XLR input, each leg balanced to ground

XLR Input

Pin 1

Ground

Pin 2

Positive

Pin 3

Negative

Driver: 12 inch

Extra large magnet and long throw mechanical design yield very high back-emf. The result is extraordinarily high operating efÞciency – that is, more acoustic output for each watt of input.

Finish

High gloss, black lacquer Þnish.

Removable fabric grill.

Line Power Consumption:

550 watts average, at maximum continu- ous output. 8 watts at idle.

Output Levels:

Greater than 113 dB peak SPL (includes room gain) from 16 Hz to 100 Hz. Mea- surement is one meter, anechoic.

A typical SunÞre subwoofer can be expected to ‘best’ its speciÞed minimum peak SPL by several decibels.

Total Harmonic Distortion

Typically less than 1/10 of the funda- mental between 18 to 80 Hz.

Internal System Gain:

50 dB from left input jack to speaker with volume control at 0 dB, 62 dB with control fully clockwise*

40 dB from right input jack to speaker with volume control at 0 dB, 52 dB with control fully clockwise*

* The SunÞre True Subwoofer utilizes differential gain on the left and right inputs to retain both L+R and L-R information.

12 VDC Trigger Input

Input voltage range: 5 -18 VDC

Impedance: approx 600 Ω (20 mA @ 12 V)

Removable terminal block, and one 1/8” Mono minijack, tip positive.

Input Sensitivity for full output:

250 mVrms from left input with volume control at 0 dB, 60 mVrms volume con- trol fully clockwise*

The Sunfire 12 is a state-of-the-art subwoofer designed to deliver unparalleled audio performance for both music lovers and home theater enthusiasts. Known for its deep, powerful bass response, the Sunfire 12 has become a popular choice among audio engineers and consumers alike. This subwoofer embodies a blend of innovative technology and practical design, making it a standout option in the competitive subwoofer market.

One of the hallmark features of the Sunfire 12 is its impressive 12-inch high-excursion driver. This driver is engineered to move more air than typical subwoofers, resulting in profound low-frequency output. The driver is complemented by a unique Dual Voice Coil design, which allows for greater control and improved linearity during operation, ensuring that dynamic audio passages are reproduced with precision.

The subwoofer also incorporates Sunfire’s patented "Tracking Downconverter" technology. This advanced power supply design ensures that the Sunfire 12 can deliver consistent power output, even during the most demanding audio peaks. The result is a dramatic increase in efficiency, which translates to powerful bass without distortion, even at high volumes.

Another notable characteristic of the Sunfire 12 is its compact size. While it delivers deep, resonant bass, the subwoofer's enclosure is significantly smaller than traditional models.

The Sunfire 12 also features a sophisticated set of adjustable controls. These allow users to fine-tune the subwoofer’s performance to match the acoustics of their space, ensuring optimal sound quality regardless of the room’s dimensions. The built-in crossover and phase control further enhance the ability to integrate the subwoofer with existing sound systems, allowing for a customized listening experience.

With its robust construction and cutting-edge technologies, the Sunfire 12 sets a high standard for compact subwoofers. Whether for music playback or home theater applications, the Sunfire 12 delivers an immersive audio experience, making it a top choice for discerning audiophiles seeking powerful bass without compromise.
