smooth in-room bass response down to approximately 25Hz, with a peak

woofers in sealed enclosures, generates accurate deep bass with a mini-
mum of distortion.

with virtually all brands of loudspeakers on the market. From the rock-
solid amplifier to the easily accessible controls, this is one of the most
versatile high performance subwoofers you can buy.
