Subwoofer Manual
Features
Wireless Technology.
Contrary to popular belief, subwoofer placement is critical in order to achieve optimal sound quality. Incorporating
wireless technology in our subwoofer greatly enhances your ability to position the subwoofer for optimal performance
while still keeping the spouse happy.
Ultra Linear Woofer.
This woofer uses a patented XBL2 motor design that has an incredibly linear motor force. The motor force (BL)
stays within 2% over a wide +/- 20 mm excursion. Most woofers with Xmax of +/- 20 mm would be lucky to have
the BL within 2% over a +/- 5 mm range!
Powerful BASH
®
Amplifier.
A very high headroom BASH
®
amplifier is used to fully utilize the ultra low distortion, ultra high output capability of
the woofer. This amplifier is capable of delivering up to 1000 W rms short- term power.
Great Connectivity.
Now included are more connectivity options than any other subwoofer we know of, at any price! Inputs include
balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA, wireless, and speaker level. This flexibility allows you to use the subwoofer in
recording studios, high end two channel systems, and state-of-the-art home theater systems.
Compact Enclosure.
Traditionally it has been difficult to get loud, clean, ultra deep bass from a compact enclosure. The ULS-15 changes
that. It gives you loud, clean, ultra deep bass from a compact, beautifully-finished enclosure.
Accomodates All Room Sizes.
An Ultra Low Frequency (ULF™) trim control allows you to maintain accurate deep bass response in virtually any
room, no matter what shape or size.
