Monitor Audio has added a luxury bass-generating option to its lifestyle RadiusHD A/V satellite speaker systems. The stylish and prodigiously capable AW-12 active subwoofer joins two ‘recommended’ systems of RadiusHD satellites to underpin their naturally rhythmic and highly detailed sound with a plummeting deep bass foundation.
The new 5.1 channel systems, dubbed R90HD12 and R270HD12, will offer a blend of dynamic wide-bandwidth audio, cool space-efficient design, excellent build-quality and peerless installation flexibility.
The R90HD12 integrates the AW-12 with four ultra-compact R90HD satellites and a R180HD in the centre-channel role. The R270HD12, configured for larger spaces, teams the AW-12 with the elegant floor-standing R270HD speakers, the super-slim R225HD as a centre speaker and the R90HD as the rear surround speakers.
Developed in-house by the creative team responsible for RadiusHD, the AW-12 subwoofer is designed to integrate beautifully with the style and performance of the satellites, smoothly extending the system’s low frequency response to below 20Hz. Its massively engineered front-firing 12” C-CAM® driver and 500 watt Class D amplifier contribute a seismic blend of deep bass frequencies and high output with low distortion. The AW-12’s compact easy-to-position design is available in gloss black or white metal-flecked lacquers to complement the Radius HD range of finishes and therefore the chicest of interiors.
The RadiusHD speakers are a successful evolution of the ground-breaking Radius originals, acclaimed for their ‘hi-fi’ performance and decor-matching versatility. Their design combines sharp new styling with a smoother, wider more detailed sound and a wide range of luxury finishes. Available in walnut and rosemah real-wood veneers and in black, white and silver gloss lacquers, the sleek new RadiusHD cabinets benefit from flush mounted grilles to present a refreshingly clean, contoured look. Easy-fit brackets and slender floor stands make installation simple and coordination with décor effective in any room.
This 5-inch all metal spherical speaker builds upon the design refinements of the best-selling speaker, the 4-inch Nucleus Micro.The A'Diva incorporates a newly modified version of the Micro's 3-inch full range driver and provides an extra half octave of bass, allowing it to be used without a subwoofer if necessary.
A'Diva can be mounted practically anywhere, in cabinets or on book shelves for example, without exciting bass resonance problems.
Thanks to its low distortion and incredibly coherent sound, the highly adaptable A'Diva can be used in just about any application including two channel stereo, home cinema, multi-media, multi-room and custom install.
The Anthony Gallo Acoustics TR-1 is a high-output, high performance active subwoofer with a Class A/B high-current amplifier and integral bass equalizer of up to 3dB of low bass boost. The cylindrical enclosure mirrors the spherical technology of our Nucleus Series but provides larger internal air volumes and a flat rear panel for the controls.
The TR-1 uses the same long-throw custom 10" woofer as used in our Reference 3 and the same enclosure as the TR-2. It differs from the TR-2 by using a lower-powered 100-watt amp (the TR-2 uses a 250-watt amp) and providing +3dB rather than max +6dB of bass boost. The rear panel provides low- and high-level inputs and outputs, continuously variable phase and low pass frequency and bass EQ from -3dB to 0 and +3dB
Ok, so maybe a subwoofer can’t go on a diet, but Pioneer is thinning up one of their latest subwoofers. Think of the TS-SW2541D subwoofer by Pioneer as the Jared (from subway) of subwoofers. This bad boy can now fit into places subwoofers were never meant to go. Why, you might ask? Well, it’s because this subwoofer only needs 3 inches of depth to get that same bass sound from other subs that require much more space than that. This is a huge breakthrough for subwoofers, because now people can fit a lot more subwoofers in a lot less space. Just imagine that internet video of the woman losing her glass eye in the car with the music playing. Now imagine that same situation if that car had this subwoofer in it; both of that lady’s eyes would probably fall out. Now do you understand why this is such a big breakthrough?
Oh, one of the other obvious benefits is that you no longer have to lose all of your Civic’s trunk space for subwoofers. At a price of $180, Pioneer is sure to make money with the TS-SW2541D subwoofer. This gives people a new fervor in pimping out their sound systems. Just wait until the folks over at Pimp My Ride find out about this subwoofer.
