Product Description
This limited edition sub features an all new cabinet with carbon fibre touches. It uses the latest Black Widow 12" carbon fibre active driver (4" Xmax) and a 12" carbon fibre passive radiator. 1000wrms amp and plays down to 19Hz. It's an unbelievably good partner for your hifi or a/v system.
Where previous special editions have used existing cabinets, drivers and filters, the Carbon Special uses many elements developed solely for Carbon Special. We employed our newest BlackWidow 12”(300mm) carbon fibre driver, developed to deliver superior dynamic balance throughout the full range of its considerable 4”(100mm) of fore-and-aft stroke. It is better able to handle, smoothly and effortlessly, the massive power needed to deliver explosive dynamics. We mated it with our NextGen 5 up to 1,000 watt amplifier which has proven to be both a sonic wonder and utterly reliable. Directing all this is a CS PerfectFilter, a custom-designed variant of our latest evolution of filters that improves both ends of the spectrum. It delivers airy, delicate highs with greater reach into the nether regions within a soundstage, as well as truer, more powerful ultra-low bass delivery. If it sounds too good to be true, it almost is.
We didn’t stop there. The cabinet extends deeper than previous mid-chassis designs to optimise performance for this new driver complement. And its looks are delivered in a refined, mature manner with subtle use of carbon fibre details sprinkled among chrome and polished stainless accents. We predict Carbon Special will become one of the highest demand ultra-high performance subwoofers of all time.
