Folded Horn Technology

For nearly fifty years, Cerwin-Vega! has set the standard for bass-horn technology worldwide, exemplified by the famous L-36PE and the SL-36 “Portable Earthquake” horns; the most successful and widely imitated bass horns on the market.

Subwoofers

For nearly 50 years when you’ve felt bass you’ve probably been around a Cerwin-Vega! subwoofer. Cerwin-Vega! literally wrote the book on subwoofer innovations. And now we’ve put all of our technological

experience to the test and developed 3 earth-moving subs. In addition to our other products, we now offer a subwoofer for every application.

AB-36: The New

Cerwin-Vega! Flagship

Cerwin-Vega’s latest innovation utilizes an incredibly efficient folded hyperbolic horn design. This enables the enclosure to contain a longer horn, which amplifies the bass frequencies while keeping the enclosure compact in size for portability. The path length and flare rate yields a theoretical cutoff of 30Hz of bone crushing low-end.

The design of practical, portable bass horns has always chal- lenged audio designers. This is primarily because low frequency wavelengths are so large (e.g. 22.5 ft/6.9 m at 50 Hz) that they

require a long horn. The

challenge to reduce the

horn’s dimen-

sions without

decreasing its

length results in a technique that involves

In the tradition of Cerwin-Vega’s philosophy of performance, reli- ability and value, we are proud to introduce the next gen- eration of classic Cerwin-Vega! Folded-Horn Bass cabinets, the “After Burner” AB-36, the “Earthquake” EL-36 and the “Junior Earthquake” JE-36. This lineup has been designed for today’s true bass environment, Using the latest technology and 50 years of experience, this threesome is going to be tough to beat!

its length by physically folding the horn within a cabinet.

The Cerwin-Vega! folded horns have been acoustically optimized to achieve high output and low distortion while maintaining clarity and impact. Special attention to rear chamber, throat geometry and horn profile results in a folded horn design that doesn’t exhibit the typical horn coloration of our competitors horns.

Cerwin-Vega! folded horns, on average, produce 6dB more output at 1 watt than a dual 18” vented box. This results in four times

the output with half the number of drivers. Purchase costs are drastically reduced due to the need for fewer cabinets. A smaller number of cabinets is able to deliver a superior level of clean clear bass. Powering far fewer cabinets yields large cost savings in amplification. The net result is loud sub bass that moves enough air to blow the hairpiece off the competition.
