Sub 28, Low Bass Subwoofer
     
how to design a top-class subwoofer

technical data:
- Power: 150 Watt sinus/300 Watt music
- Frequency response (-8dB): from 27 Hz
  (upper crossover frequency adjustable)
- Size (HxWxD): 64 x 26 x 38 cm
- Impedance: 4 Ohm

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:
Bass driver 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. Sub 28

The Alcone AC 8 SW8, bass drivers are deployed in the Sub 28. The driver is manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring first class control over the cone through their strong magnets.

The AC 8 SW8 bass driver consists of:

  • a seamless aluminium-sandwich cone,
  • an exemplary designed die cast basket,
  • ventilated magnet system,
  • extremely strong drive Qts = 0.22,
  • 2x 8 Ohm impedance, for optimum use of the amplifier
  • gold plated push-pull terminals

    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.

    The RCM Detonation DT 150, amplifier module is located at the rear of the cabinet. The module features state-of-the-art Class D amplification ensuring enormous power output with top quality sound, fitted in a small cabinet.
    Detonation DT 300

    Since a 4 Ohm bass driver is used, the entire power of the DT 300 becomes usable the DT 300 delivers - like most amplifier modules - roughly 50% more power on 4 Ohm compared to 8 Ohm).
