Allow several hours of listening time to adequately break-in the Subwoofer. During 
the break-in period, the driver suspension will loosen. The result of break-in will 
be  an  increase  in  low  frequency  response,  improved  definition,  and  increased 
clarity and detail.

Care and Cleaning

To maintain subwoofer appearance, we recommend an occasional application of a 
general purpose no-wax surface and furniture cleaner. This may also be used to 
gently clean the aluminum cone surface. To clean dust from the grille cloth and 
cone surface, use a vacuum with a brush attachment.

Features

A  subwoofer  is  a  must-have  component  for  any  home  theater  or  audio  system. 
The performance of your subwoofer can greatly affect the overall performance of 
your system. Without the subwoofer, the deep bass on your music CDs and special 
effects on movie soundtracks may not be heard and/or felt. Think of a subwoofer 
as a vital component that adds excitement to your theater or music experience. A 
powered subwoofer has its own source of amplification (as opposed to passive or 
non-amplified subwoofers which require an additional power amplifier). 

At the heart of RBH Sound’s subwoofers are proprietary aluminum cone drivers. 
The special aluminum cone material combines stiffness, low mass and self damping 
properties producing superior definition and accuracy of bass frequencies. A powerful 
magnet, extended voice coil and bumped back plate give the drivers high excursion 
capability allowing high output capability and accurate dynamic reproduction.

Subwoofers  can  add  considerable  low-frequency,  deep  bass  performance  to  any 
home  theater  or  audio  system.  All  RBH  Sound  powered  subwoofers  incorporate 
discrete class A/B analog power supply amplifiers ensuring low distortion, high 
current output and proven reliability. Variable crossover, adjustable phase control 
and auto on/off are also included for convenience and easy integration with other 
speakers. Connectivity is made easy by allowing the subwoofer to be connected by 
either interconnect (line level) or speaker wire (high level).

         

 stands for Tuned Aperiodic Vent. This technology allows a smaller cabinet 

volume to generate lower frequency response without the need for large passive 
radiators  and  extremely  powerful  amplifiers.  By  using  TAV™  Technology,  your 
subwoofer is able to incorporate two woofers in a relatively small enclosure with 
increased performance. TAV™ bridges the gap between vented and sealed enclosure 
subwoofers,  providing  better  low  frequency  extension  and  efficiency  than  a
