More and more customers are asking for a subwoofer where the cone's oscillation is controlled perfectly, reproducing a low bass and mountable in a small cabinet.
These requirements led to the following concept: 2 identical bass drivers with a very strong magnet and a very stiff and rigid cone, ensuring a controlled oscillation. A unique low bass control is added. The subwoofer is then combined with an amplification module with a very high power output.
The Alcone AC 12 SW8 bass drivers are deployed in the Sub 22. The drivers are manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring first class control over the cone through their strong magnets.
The AC 12 SW8 bass driver consists of:
Particularly the strong drive combined with the low bass tuning, turn out a sound quality which is generally only possible with larger sized cabinets. The principle of low tuned subwoofers with extremely strong drive are at the moment being adapted by manufacturers of finished loudspeakers as well.
The RCM Detonation DT 300 amplifier module is located at the rear of the cabinet. The module features state-of-the-art Class B amplification.
Since two 8 Ohm bass drivers are used (resulting in total load of 4 Ohm), the entire power of the DT 500 becomes usable (the DT 500 delivers - like most amplifier modules - roughly 50% more power on 4 Ohm compared to 8 Ohm).
The kit consists of: - 2 x Alcone AC 12 SW8 bass drivers - 1 x Detonation DT 300 amplification module - 4 x bass reflex tubes HP100, pointing downwards - 16 Allen wood screws 5x30mm - 12 wood screws Pan 4x20 - 1 x mat needle felt - 8 cable fasteners - 1 x mat napped foam - sealing tape - building instructions
