Episode® Impression Bandpass Subwoofer (Each) - 6.5"
The Episode Impression bandpass subwoofer pairs with our Impression in-ceiling speakers to allow dealers to work side-by-side with interior designers to provide excellent total-home sound. This 6 1/2" sub uses a bandpass box design, which allows the sub to produce deeper bass through a smaller opening. The front of the sub fires into a chamber that’s tuned by a port, which acts as a low pass filter for incredibly low and efficient bass.
The Importance of Low Frequencies
A distributed audio system without a subwoofer isn’t capable of reproducing all the frequencies an audio source sends to them, which means the listener doesn't get accurate sound. The low frequencies produced by a subwoofer create a full, rich, three-dimensional effect for an exceptional audio experience. With the Impression Bandpass subwoofer, you get this effect in a supremely efficient package that produces deep lows without affecting interior design goals.
Bandpass Technology
Bandpass boxes offer significant performance benefits that are impossible to achieve in conventional boxes of equal size, producing deeper bass extension and supreme efficiency. As opposed to the woofer directly influencing the listening area, this sub fires directly into a chamber with a tuned port, which acts as a low-pass filter to limit the high-frequency response of the subwoofer. The result is massive amounts of deep bass being delivered through a small opening, which not only means greater efficiency but a design that has a minimal impact on room aesthetics.
Subwoofer Installation
The enclosure is typically installed before drywall and mounts to a traditional 2x10 or 10” I-Beam joist. And for aesthetic uniformity, the subwoofer port uses a 5" grille that matches Impression in-ceiling speakers perfectly.
Great Sound in Any Room
Pair this sub with our Impression in-ceiling speakers to deliver rich, three-dimensional sound within the full frequency band. Systems are available in 2.1 and 4.1 kits and deliver stunning audio in small- and medium-sized rooms. And with its scientifically developed design and easy expansion capabilities, you can easily add more speakers and subs to fill large rooms with amazing sound!
Built-In Speaker Protection
This bandpass subwoofer has a built-in protection circuit to prevent the subwoofer from being overdriven. For example, if someone maxes out the volume, the subwoofer will shut down, once the volume has stabilized the subwoofer will reset, and will come back to life, preventing damage. This reduces service calls and enhances speaker longevity.
