T138 Compact Horn Subwoofer

Design Øyvind Kvålsvoll 2012

Compact Horn Subwoofer with small footprint, for realistic reproduction of lower frequencies all the way down to frequencies that can rather be felt physically than actually heard.

Design specification is 112dB/1m/2π at 20Hz. Two of these in a small home theater will give a nice realism to sound effects such as cannons and earthquakes.

A small footprint was selected to make for flexible placement, and the tower form factor gives an impressing appearance in the home theater. This visual appearance matches the sound quality - brutal and powerful, yet also subtle and nuanced when asked for.

Utilizing the Compact Horn Subwoofer technology it was possible to achieve the combination of dry, impactful bass and the weight required at the lowest frequencies in the same unit. The sound really has to be experienced, it has a very addictive character, much more alive and impactful than usually found in subwoofers with capacity below 20Hz.

The two units shown in the flyer is made with deco trim and surface treatment designed to match with the styling of other items in the room they now live in.
