SUB 15
Description
SUB 15 is a unique product. In the depths of the infra bass frequencies reproduced with incredible fidelity by the legendary 15 inch woofer from TAD you will find a new definition of bass. Powered by a massive 1000 Watt B&O ICE Power amplifier, SUB 15 delivers an amazing 108dB+ SPL at 20Hz.
Much of what we think is massive bass is really just loads of distortion at 200Hz to 300Hz! Some- times this distortion can approach 40 to 50% of the total sub output! SUB 15 is not designed for showing off‑ dirty bass. It is a precision tool for the most demanding engineers opening the door to the "sub 130 Hz" world of the mix. Any judgement call made in that range using SUB 15 will be the right one.
SUB15 is a bass-re�flex design for extended bass response. It o‑ffers an extended user control via its clearly laid out interface mounted on the rear wall.

Two Combo Symmetrical Inputs (Big Jack & XLR),
