Atlantic Announces a New Down-Firing Version of the SB-900 Subwoofer
Wed Feb 29, 2012 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Atlantic, Subwoofers (all tags)
The new sub is designed for maximum placement flexibility.
The SB-900 is one of Atlantic's most popular subwoofers, but it's not the kind of sub that works for everyone or, more to the point, not the kind of sub that works for every room. Atlantic knows this, and has created a new down-firing version for those that want to place their sub in a less traditional location.
Like the original SB-900, the 900DF uses an 8" woofer to give you a bass response as low as 32Hz, while distortion detection technology helps to limit distorted audio . The sub is powered by a 125 watt amp and has a peak output of 102 dB SPL.
You can pick up the SB-900DF at the same $349 price as the SB-900.

Terra Announces the AC.SUBe Outdoor Subwoofer
Thu Oct 27, 2011 at 10:00 AM ETTags: Outdoor Speakers, Subwoofers (all tags)
The sub features a fully sealed design to protect from water and "little critters."
With AT&T introducing wireless capabilities, you may want to take your TV out on the deck for a bit of outdoor entertainment. Of course, by doing that you have to sacrifice the sound from your home theater system, unless you've got an outdoor setup ready to go.
Terra has introduced a whole new way to annoy the neighbors with their AC.SUBe outdoor subwoofer. It boasts some pretty impressive stats and packs a 12 inch driver with a two inch voice coil, capable of producing frequencies from 26Hz up to 115Hz.
"This new version uses a larger 12-inch driver with a massive motor structure that delivers powerful, deep bass from an unobtrusive "mushroom" shaped housing," says Terra president James Banfield. He adds that the sub has a totally sealed design so nothing that can damage it will get in.
The AC.SUBe will be available this November.

Paradigm Launches New Monitor Series 7 Subwoofers
Wed Oct 26, 2011 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Paradigm, Subwoofers (all tags)
The new subs offer performance in a small package, with ranges down to 16Hz.
When you think about Paradigm subwoofers, you might think of the hexagonally shaped Sub 1 and Sub 2 from their Signature line. They're sweet subs and totally cool looking, but they don't fit every aesthetic.
Paradigm's new Monitor Series 7 subwoofers carry a bit of the same technology as the Sub 1 and Sub 2 but with a more conventional design. These single driver subs are powered by Ultra-Class D amplifiers that deliver 300 watts of sustained power and 900 watts peak. Inside you'll find a 4.5 pound ferrite magnet - bumped up to 6.5 for the top of the line Sub 12.
You'll find the Sub 8, which pumps out audio down to a frequency of 18Hz, for $699. The Sub 10 can go down to 17Hz at a price of $849 and the Sub 12, which packs a larger voice coil and magnet, can get sound down to 16Hz and comes in at $999.

Definitive Releases New Bookshelf Speakers and Subs
Mon Aug 15, 2011 at 10:00 AM ETTags: Definitive Technology, Speakers, Subwoofers (all tags)
The company's new subs are designed for areas where space is a primary concern.
Definitive Technology has had a few new releases today including the SC4000 and SC6000 subwoofers. Both are wireless, just over a cubic foot in size and designed for rooms that lack the space for a bigger sub.
Both SuperCube subs are wireless and offer a slick digital display hidden under the grille so you only have to see it when you're making adjustments. The SC4000 runs $799 and the SC6000 comes in at $999. You'll need a $149 wireless kit if you want to ditch the cords. Both subs will be available in September.
Definitive's new bookshelf speakers are the first from the company in almost a decade. They boast Balanced Double Surround System mids and the company's Pure Aluminum tweeters for improved accuracy. The new speakers will ship in September at prices starting at $399 for a pair.

Phase Technology Announces a New Wireless Sub
Fri Aug 06, 2010 at 09:00 AM ETTags: Phase Technology, Subwoofers (all tags)
It comes in sizes of 8, 10 and 12 inches and is available now.
There's just something great about a wireless sub. Whether you're unable to better conceal the wires, or you simply don't feel like doing it, going wireless is a nice option.
The latest from Phase Technology is the PC SUB WL. It features a built-in receiver, so there's nothing to attach to the sub aside from the power cable. All you need to attach to your system is a small transmitter that sits on the subwoofer output.
You can pick the PC SUB WL up now in 8, 10 or 12 inch sizes. Each of them uses a downward firing active woofer and a forward firing passive radiator that provide 2.5 inches of peak to peak motion. Prices have not been disclosed.
