Proposition 65 Warning for California Residents

If your customer wants the most boom for their buck, look no further than the Episode® Element Ported, Powered Subwoofer. Available in 8”, 10”, or 12”, this powerful sub produces less port noise due to the even flow of air through its slot port design. Featuring a highly-efficient DRiVE Class-D amplifier, this sub is also 60% more efficient than conventional analog designs, so it’s as green as it is mean. Top it off with our signature LFEQ technology, and you get a sub with max bass performance for its modest enclosure size.

At the heart of this subwoofer is a highly-efficient DRiVE Class-D amplifier. This digital technology produces 300 RMS (600W dynamic) of bass and is up to 60% more efficient than conventional analog designs. In standby mode, the subwoofer consumes less than 0.5 watts, making it one of the “greenest” solutions available.

Our engineers wanted to achieve the maximum bass performance for the size of enclosure. They painstakingly designed a dual EQ system that precisely shapes the output for flatter and lower frequency response. The end result is a ported subwoofer that’s more powerful than anything in its class!

This sub’s aerodynamic port design minimizes turbulence and allows for continuous airflow to improve efficiency, maximize output, and reduce distortion. All you’re left with is solid, thumping lows.

This sub features a custom driver with a polypropylene cone and high-temperature voice coil. This rigid, lightweight design produces low distortion that’s simply unmatched. An accordion-like ribbed surround allows for linear cone movement, so you get low distortion even at high volume levels.

This subwoofer has the versatility to get the job done in all kinds of applications! For home theater installs, simply hook your receiver's subwoofer output to the LFE input – and you're good to go. And if your receiver only has speaker outputs, no problem! Just connect to the high-level inputs and then on to the speakers.

This Episode subwoofer features a dedicated on/off switch, as well as a power-saving standby mode that automatically turns it off after 15 minutes of inactivity. However, as soon as an audio signal is detected, it roars to life – adding instant boom to any room. Now if you could just get the kids to turn off the lights when they leave…

For an unbelievable music and movie experience, the subwoofer can be tuned to match the speakers and room. A rear-mounted rotary crossover adjustment and variable rotary dial enable you to optimize the system for the ultimate performance – providing more degrees of freedom in your install.
