BasX Subwoofers
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing one of our new Emotiva BasX™ Subwoofers.
Our Emotiva BasX™ Subwoofers were designed to reproduce the lowest frequencies in the audio
spectrum accurately and with exceptionally low distortion - even at high listening levels. This means
that our BasX Subwoofers can deliver the dynamics and raw power you need to make a modern
movie sound-track sound truly monumental, but still offer the precision and musicality you need to
get the most from well recorded music. With our BasX Subwoofers, you don’t have to compromise;
you really can have it all.
Our BasX Subwoofers come in three models: the S8, the S10, and the S12. Each model includes a
heavy duty high excursion bass driver, powered by a high-efficiency Class D amplifier, and offers
controls that allow you to configure it to work perfectly in conjunction with your main speakers. The
various models offer identical controls and similar features; the main difference is that the larger
models can produce higher output levels, and their frequency response extends slightly lower.
The cabinets, which are quite compact for the performance they deliver, are built of heavy,
acoustically inert MDF, and are covered in attractive yet practical textured vinyl. Sculpted removable
grill cloths perfectly match the outline of the cabinets, and heavy duty integral feet provide support
and minimize vibration. All controls and connections are conveniently located on the rear panel,
which also provides cooling for the internal amplifiers.
We’re very proud of our new BasX Subwoofers, and we hope you’ll enjoy listening to them as much
as we enjoyed designing and manufacturing them.
Happy listening!
The Emotiva Team
