System Description

All 

twotwo 

active subwoofers share the same 

powerful DSP engine, operating at a fixed 
sample rate of 96kHz. 

The two balanced analogue inputs are 
conditioned by an adjustable low-noise gain 
stage prior to A-D conversion to optimise the 
signal-to-noise ratio. The converter is a very 
high quality delta-sigma device, producing 

a 24-bit, 96kHz output. The left and right 

channels are summed to drive the subwoofer 
speakers, but passed on as separate signals 
to the analogue outputs. 

The AES3 digital input accepts sample rates 

up to 192kHz, and is sample rate converted 
to 96kHz automatically. Either channel, or a 

sum of both, can be selected to drive the 
subwoofer, and both are passed on to the 
digital output.

The DSP engine provides the system volume 

control, low-pass filtering, parametric 

equalisation, and phase alignment for the 

subwoofer, as well as high-pass filtering bass 

management options for the analogue and 
digital outputs. It also provides non-invasive 
excursion limiting to protect the drivers.

The DSP system generates three sets of outputs. 
In addition to the digital output, there are 
two separate D-A converters. One converter 
provides the analogue outputs, while the 

other feeds a 400W Class-D power amplifier 

connected to the loudspeaker(s). 

The analogue and digital outputs are always 
available and can be formatted to provide 

either full range or high-pass filtered signals, 

which can be used for satellite speakers or other 

destinations. The output level can be fixed, or 

follow the system volume control setting.

An optional remote control is  available to 
control the settings and volume of an entire 

twotwo 

system.
