OK, here are some specs on the sub...
DRIVER
12" Cast Frame high-excursion woofer with black anodized aluminum cone. The motor has three different shorting paths that dramatically reduce voice
coil inductance and motor distortion. Distortion levels are lower than nearly all other high excursion subwoofers on the market.
PASSIVE RADIATOR
12" Cast frame - full suspension passive radiator, mass tuned, with 22mm of one-way Xmax capability.
PLATE AMP
Amplifier - 500 Watt RMS Class D BASH type high efficiency amplifier with fully adjustable 4th order lowpass crossover. The amp features a continuously-variable phase control (not a 0/180 switch like on many plate amps), full parametric EQ to adjust for room response, adjustable crossover with bypass switch, subsonic filter to extend low-end response, an auto-on feature and more.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
With this tuned enclosure and this amplifier, the woofer remains within its linear operating range at all frequencies above 20Hz at the full 500 Watt output of the amplifier. This linear performance, coupled with the shorting rings inside the motor make this a "Very Low Distortion" (VLD) subwoofer when compared to even many much more expensive subwoofers on the market today.
Bass Extension - In an anechoic environment this subwoofer has a 1 Watt Nearfield -3dB point of 22Hz. In most rooms bass will extend to approximately 18Hz due to typical room gain.
Output - Maximum half-space output is 112 dB at 30Hz, 109 dB at 25Hz, 102 dB at 20Hz (Without Room Gain), with linear output at very low levels of harmonic distortion.
SIZE
The SongSub VLD cabinet is 14" wide, 14" deep and 24" tall. Grills add 1 1/2" to the width and spikes, if used, add 1 1/2" to the height. The result is a high-performance subwoofer in a very compact form factor with high WAF.
PRICE
The SongSub VLD will be priced at $995 each when sold separately. When purchased in conjunction with a pair of SongTower QWT's, the price is $895.
