Whatmough Impulse2 Subwoofer -Clean and tight bass
An active subwoofer with clean and tight bass.
The Whatmough Impulse2 Subwoofer Design
Its bandpass design means it has much lower distortion levels than conventional sealed, ported or passive radiator designs. As a result, the bass sounds cleaner and tighter and, unlike many subwoofers, the Impulse2 does not degrade the important upper bass and mid-range.
The Impulse2 uses a 250mm extremely long throw driver which has a huge 75mm voice coil for high power handling and a massive magnet structure. This driver alone weighs over 10kg. Because it has such a long throw, this driver is capable of higher output than most 305mm drivers, yet its smaller size allows it to be noticeably faster and tighter.
This high quality subwoofer featuresa 240 watt class A/B amplifier. It is only 3db down at 25Hz and has usable bass to below 20Hz. It roll off acousticallyat 24dB per octave above its cut off frequency of 100Hz. Total harmonic distortion is also down tothe same extent when compared to a conventional direct radiator subwoofer whether it is sealed or vented.
The Impulse2 produces much lower amounts of harmonic distortion, resulting inless degradation in the upper bass and midrange frequencies than conventional subwoofers. Not only will the bass sounds cleaner and tighter, the upper bass and midrange will not be adversely influenced by this subwoofer. This is particularly important in a subwoofer designed to reproduce music and not just movie sound tracks.
If you're serious about performance, love your music and movies, and loath compromise, this is the subwoofer for you.
It is available in two finishes — Piano Graphite and Bubinga (African Rosewood).
