Thiel Audio Products SS1 Subwoofer manual Accurate Matching to Main Speakers, Passive Crossover

Accurate Matching to Main Speakers

Rather than providing generic built-in crossover controls that can rarely achieve high quality blending of the subwoofer with main speakers, the SmartSub can be used when needed with a separate unit, either a dedicated passive crossover or the universal SmartSub Integrator.

The passive crossovers provide perfectly blended augmentation of THIEL main speakers, allowing the combination to provide very accurate reproduction of the entire sonic spectrum, to below the audible range.

Passive Crossover

The SmartSub Integrator provides unprecedented ability to perfectly match any main speakers and provide total system performance that is as well integrated and balanced as a full range speaker. This superior performance is achieved by patented innovative circuitry that automatically calculates the ideal subwoofer response to perfectly match the characteristics of the main speakers. Therefore, instead of the usual crossover controls that tell the subwoofer how to perform, the SmartSub Integrator has settings for the characteristics of the main speakers you are matching, the configuration of your system and the performance you desire. This information is then used to automatically calculate and implement the ideal subwoofer response. In addition, the unit enables the total system to operate in either augment or crossover system mode and can control up to 16 subwoofer units in either mono or stereo configuration.
