SW215A

acve subwoofer

KEY FEATURES

• Very High Output • Manifolded Transmission Line conguraon for very fast transient response

• Compact size for a very good output-to-weight rao • 96KHz / 40 bit oang point CORE processing with PRONET remote control

• Digitally controlled Class D amplier module with SMPS

INTRODUCTION

The SW215A subwoofer is designed to deliver high quality low frequency reproducon where very

high output is a key requirement, together with well dened deep bass response and fast transient

response. Its compact size and light weight make it suitable for several dierent uses, ranging from

touring applicaons to xed installaons and high-level dance clubs.

The SW215A is a very high quality powered subwoofer system featuring some of the most

advanced technologies for low frequency reproducon. Its unique and innovave design is based

on a conguraon that can be dened as Manifolded Transmission Line.

It uses manifolding of the front side of the cones to maximize the mutual coupling between the

two drivers, while loading the back of the cone with a large-size transmission line that has the

funcon to create a transmission path from the back of the transducers to the front.

The SW215A subwoofer system is equipped with two high power 15” (380mm) transducers

capable of long excursion (up to 33mm peak-to-peak), controlled by high sness Double Silicon

Spider as centering suspension and by heavy duty surround. The motor structure features high

strength (BL²/Re) with opmized symmetry and excursion controlled by Aluminium Demodulang

Ring. The robust copper 75mm (3”) voice coil is wounded in two dierent layers both outside and

inside the coil support, then doubling the coil surface exposed to air cooling and consequently

improving the long term thermal capacity of the loudspeaker. Cones are made of very high-sness

reinforced paper, featuring also invisible water repellent treatment.

The SW215A is processed by 40bit, 96kHz oang point CORE DSP and powered by DA SERIES digital power modules, a new generaon of CLASS

D power amplier with digitally-controlled SMPS. The DA module employed for powering the SW215A delivers in an ultra-compact package a

maximum power of 2000W.

Two box must be oriented towards the audience and one must be turned in the opposite direction (typically the box in the centre of the array). The bottom and the top boxes must have the STANDARD PRESET, the box in the middle must have the CARDIOID PRESET. The audio signal sent to all boxes is the same.
