Focal Sub 12
Sub12 is a highly articulate subwoofer offering a level of definition, dynamics and sub-bass that is unrivalled in its price bracket. Thanks to its high excursion woofer and 1000W peak amplification, the Sub12's transcription is more powerful and truer than ever.
Key points
- Composite sandwich ‘W’-cone: sound neutrality, no distortion
- Large laminar port: no port noises or distortion
- Automatic disengageable stand-by mode
- Amplification: 600W RMS, 1000W peak
- Carry handle
MORE POWER AND MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR MORE STUDIO SYSTEMS
The Sub12 features a completely new 13-inch woofer with even more articulation and definition due to its efficient design offering a very deep low-end impact and incredibly low distortion. The BASH amplifier provides 600W of RMS power with a 1000W peak. The cabinet design features optimized bracing and reinforcement and a front-facing port based on the company’s Trio11 monitors but adds internal and external flares to reduce mechanical noise and distortion. As a convenience, large handles are built in on the sides of the cabinet to move the 154-pound unit more easily with two people. A complete host of bass management controls on the rear of the Sub12 allow an acoustician, room tuner, or studio owner to dial in the perfect low-end settings for any system setup: variable low-pass, highpass, and phase. Rear controls also feature switches for polarity, +4dBu or -10dBv sensitivity, auto stand-by bypass, LFE input, and throughout. The Sub12 also features Focal’s single footswitch control input to truly bypass one or multiple daisy chained Sub12 units.
