Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sonance® Architectural Series™ BPS-1 Bandpass Subwoofer System. The BPS-1 system will add deep, powerful bass impact to any audio system that includes Sonance Architectural Series speakers. The BPS-1 cabinet remains completely hidden from view, delivering its bass energy through a Sonance Architectural Series Panel Bracket and Architectural Finish Component that is a discreet complement to the surrounding architectural space.
The complete BPS-1 Bandpass Subwoofer System is comprised of a BPS-1 bandpass subwoofer cabinet,
an Adaptor Baffle, a dedicated Sonamp® A150 power amplifier, an Architectural Series Panel Bracket and an Architectural Finish Component, all of which are available separately.
Design and Features
•Delivers powerful, room-filling bass through a small grille that complements the room’s architectural design.
•Trimless and truly flush-mount installation — the plane of the subwoofer grille is perfectly aligned with the plane of the ceiling.
•Available Adaptor Baffles allow the BPS-1 to be used with any size round or square Architectural Series Panel Bracket (even 4”) to match other Architectural Series speakers in the audio system.
•The 8” woofer driver features a felted paper cone with a rubber surround that should provide years of reliable high-power operation. This allows the BPS-1 to be installed in a location that will have limited or no access.
•The very efficient 4th-order bandpass enclosure produces high output over the subwoofer’s entire frequency range.
•Adaptor Baffles are heavily flared to minimize port noise during high-volume passages.
•The BPS-1 can be used with any separately available Architectural Series Finish Component: metal (with or without trim) or cloth (with or without trim).
•Sonamp A150 power amplifier (required, available separately) delivers 150 watts of power and provides flexible connections that integrate the BPS-1 system into any audio system. A built-in limiter prevents overdriving the BPS-1’s woofer driver, even when using a single A150 to drive two BPS-1 subwoofer cabinets.
•Front-panel amplifier controls (volume, crossover frequency, phase) let you fine-tune the woofer’s performance to match a variety of listening environments and personal preferences.
