Atlantic Technology 102SB-BLK Powered Subwoofer, Black description
No home theater or music system is complete without a powered subwoofer, as it provides the deep bass response that adds drama to a movie's action scenes and makes music come alive. The Atlantic 102SB--a compact model designed to produce consistently realistic, convincing bass effects at an affordable price--is no exception. The sub's bass output stems from its 8-inch, long-throw, composite cone driver and 2-inch, four-layer voice coil, which combine to deliver a frequency range of 34 to 250 Hz. The driver cone is also extremely stiff, helping it act like a piston throughout its operating range to minimize distortion. Add in a massive magnetic motor assembly and high-temperature component parts and you have a sub that's equal parts performance and reliability. Power-wise, the 102SB is outfitted with a 100-watt, high-current amplifier that's been precision matched and equalized to the driver. This ensures powerful, controlled bass with great articulation and authority. The sub's sealed enclosure design, meanwhile, also helps keep distortion at a minimum while enhancing the deep bass output. And unlike many competing subwoofers, Atlantic puts as much emphasis on accurate musical reproduction as it does on explosive special effects, helping the sub excel in a variety of audio applications. Additional features include an adjustable (40 to 140 Hz) low-pass crossover that helps with speaker integration; a pair of low-level inputs and outputs that allows listeners to daisy chain multiple subwoofers; a phase invert switch that enables users to acoustically match satellite speaker systems with a phase-reversed output; and automatic standby operation with signal sensing turn-on and a 7- to 10-minute turnoff delay. The 102SB, which comes in an attractive black enclosure, measures 13.2 by 13 by 12.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
