EPOS ELS Subwoofer

The ELS SUB has a massive and powerful 10 loudspeaker driver fitted to the front of the cabinet, with enough magnet strength and voice coil size to handle very high power levels for long periods without distress. In short it has been designed to be more appropriate for a two-channel bass unit than a conventional sub-woofer. To further boost the fidelity of the SUB it has a very stiff cabinet with extensive internal bracing which is rarely found in conventional subwoofers. It has a completely separate section at the back of the cabinet to house the amplifier, which is more normally found in professional speakers and not found in conventional subwoofers at any price. To further improve the sound quality Epos does not use port tuning to achieve increased bass extension, which avoids chuffing air turbulence noises interfering with the fidelity of the loudspeaker. As a general rule, stereo systems tend to be difficult to integrate with conventional sub woofers because, for the most part, sub woofers are generally not designed to match them, and therefore suit 5.1 systems only. This SUB is different and was conceived as a means of extending the frequency response of a small pair of bookshelf speakers, rather than just producing large outputs at one particular frequency, such as 60 Hz. This may appear to contradict established principles, but Epos engineers have not limited themselves to only trying to produce a product that plays one note sound. For that reason it is capable of extending low frequencies with a relatively flat response down to 20 Hz.
