3.3 S12 Sub-bass system

(Fig 3)

The S12 is an extremely compact sub-bass system. It has been designed for use with the F8 and F10 full-range loudspeakers systems in situations where extended low frequency output and increased system headroom are required. When used with an F8 or F10, it will extend the response of the complete system to below 45Hz.

It features a high power 12" (300mm)/3" (75mm) voice coil, long excursion drive unit reflex loaded in a birch plywood enclosure. It can operate in either passive add-on mode using its own internal switchable passive network or may be used actively with an M3 or DX1 controller. In the active configuration, the controller will provide crossover, EQ and limiter functions for the S12 and F8/F10 combination. Please refer to the M3 or DX1 user’s guide for further information.

The S12 is provided with a top hat fitting that can be used as a pole socket to mount an F8 or F10 above the enclosure.
