The line includes three models that produce up to 3000W of bass from 16-100Hz using diametrically opposing drivers, one active and one passive radiator. The 8in XTEQ8, 10in XTEQ10 and 12in XTEQ12 are housed in enclosures only just larger than the driver itself, with the XTEQ12 measuring just 13.5in(W) x 13.5in(H) x 13.5in(D).
Core Brands audio marketing manager, Matt Dever, says: “Sunfire’s heritage is all about creating the foundation for an amazing home theater experience. The XTEQ series builds upon the advances pioneered with the Sunfire Atmos and TSEQ series subs.
“We pack more power and punch into a smaller subwoofer than any other manufacturer, and combine it with the innovation and superior performance that today’s luxury consumers demand.”
Each model uses Sunfire’s exclusive Tracking Down Converter amplifier design and the drivers all feature the latest improvements of Sunfire’s High Back-emf design.
To best accommodate the longer ‘throw’ of the XTEQ woofers, all feature Sunfire’s Asymmetrical Cardioid Surround design and the subs also leverage the latest in Sunfire’s auto equalization technology to tailor the subwoofer output to compensate for acoustic anomalies.
Each model is built to be used in both 110-volt and 230-volt installations.
Other key features ISE visitors can discover include multiple power-up options (auto audio sensing and 12 volt trigger activation), plus soft-clipping amplification, anti-walking treads, variable crossover and phase control.
The XTEQ subwoofers also include RCA line in/line out and slave connections making it easy to pair two subwoofers, with XLR connectors for pro applications.
