1 Technical Specifications

Borea  Sub  13.1  is  a  long  excursion 
acoustic  suspension  system  in  a  ovoi-
dal axisymmetric closed structure, cha-
racterized by extreme sensitivity, dyna-
mics  and  emission  power,  made  with 
an  incredibly  rigid  and  light  structure 
of  durable  composite  materials.  Unlike 
all  other  alternatives  currently  avai-
lable,  this  low-frequency  speaker  was 
made  without  technical  and  dimensio-
nal  compromises,  with  structural  tech-
nologies not utilized in the professional 
audio  market.  Thus  it  achieves  maxi-
mum acoustic performance with an ele-
gant  design  and  a  unique  personality. 

All other subwoofer, bass reflex, on the 

professional audio market are built insi-
de wooden box structures. This makes 

them flawed due to structural resonan

-

ces and internal acoustic problems re-
lated to stationary waves. Furthermore, 
the wooden structure is very heavy and 
is characterized by problems related to 
protection and durability, with little resi-
stance to atmospheric agents. Ovoidal 
13.1 represents an exclusive technolo-
gical innovation, built from high quality 
composite materials in a special ovoidal 
shell shape. The scratch-resistant glos-
sy surfaces deliver resistance to atmo-
spheric  agents,  combined  with  a  great 

power with an extremely high efficiency 

and a very high sensitivity, which allows 
Ovoidal  13.1  to  truly  distinguish  itself 
when  compared  to  any  product  from 
the main competing brands. Borea Sub 
13.1  guarantees  the  perfect  loading  of 
low  frequencies  in  sensitivity,  depth, 
control and SPL expressed by the usa-
ge  of  few  watts.  Borea  Sub  13.1  uses 
a  single  high  quality  ,  high  excursion 
transducer of 12“diameter. The structu-
re is rigid and very light (considering the 
overall weight and the dB/Kg ratio). The 
aesthetic impact is extraordinary and is 
absolutely  unique  on  the  professional 
sound market.
