 Thiel SmartSub SS2 

Mammoth Amounts of Ultra-Low Distortion Bass This incredible subwoofer sells for $6390 new.  THIEL Audio's SS2.2 SmartSub brings mammoth amounts of ultra-low distortion low bass to music and movies. THIEL subwoofers are designed as the ultimate solution for bass management and reproduction in home theater and music sound systems. THIEL's mission for the SmartSub® series is to redefine the subwoofer category by offering the most seamless and realistic low frequency reproduction possible. THIEL's SmartSub technology eliminates the major problems and limitations that conventional subwoofers have in matching the system's main speakers and the room. The model SS2.2 SmartSub utilizes a 1,000 watt amplifier and employs two long-throw 10" woofers in a 23.5" high, 11" wide, and 20" deep, 104 pound cabinet. It has an output of up to 105 dB of output at 20 Hz and up to 112 dB at 30 Hz. "The THIEL SmartSubs incorporate a clear upgrade path that truly results in a sum greater than either of the parts," reports John Potis in his 6moons.com review of the PCS/SS2 system. "The SmartSub doesn’t merely add bass but effectively upgrades the performance of the entire system...an excellent investment." Patent-Pending SmartSub Technology The USS SmartSub is a powered, stand alone systems for reproducing the 'point one' channel in a home theater system. It can also be used with the PX05 Passive Subwoofer Crossover to allow reproduction of the bass range of the other audio channels. The USS can be easily adjusted to accurately eliminate room interaction problems for any placement, without microphones or complicated measurements. Unique electronic circuitry corrects for compression distortion due to heating of the drivers' voice coils for more dynamic and effortless reproduction. Exceptionally Deep, Uniform, Dynamic and Low Distortion Bass The USS SmartSub provides exceptionally deep, uniform, dynamic and low distortion bass down to 20 Hz, thanks in part to breakthrough technology. THIEL's innovative short coil/long gap motor system achieves extremely low distortion, and the driver's aluminum diaphragm contributes to the subwoofer's outstanding tonal response. An unusually large magnet structure and special high excursion suspension allows the subwoofer to move a very large amount of air for effortless, realistic reproduction of the most demanding sources. The USS SmartSub's driver is powered by an internal 550-watt high efficiency switching mode amplifier with thermal overload protection. SmartMatch Techology The innovative SmartSub Integrator provides unprecedented ability to perfectly match THIEL SmartSub subwoofers to any speaker, regardless of brand or type, for seamless, coherent sound. Other subwoofers require that you endlessly experiment with settings for crossover frequency, level, and phase with no intelligible way of determining optimal settings and often concluding in unsatisfactory results. THIEL's SmartSub technology takes the guesswork out of subwoofer adjustments by automatically calculating the ideal subwoofer response from information you enter about your main speakers. The result is perfectly balanced sonic performance equivalent to a full-range speaker with extremely high output capability and very deep bass. SmartRoom Filter Like any speaker, a subwoofer placed near room walls or in a corner will produce uneven response, with some frequencies being overemphasized and others reduced. Through special circuitry in its amplifier, THIEL SmartSubs can be easily adjusted to completely and accurately eliminate wall interaction problems for any placement--without microphones, equalizers, or complicated measurements. The result is the elimination of room boundary problems for outstandingly balanced and smooth bass reproduction. SmartPower Design The large amount of power used in small, high output subwoofers can produce substantial heating of the drivers' voice coils which, if uncorrected, lowers output and alters tonal balance. The THIEL SmartSub amplifiers' unique electronic circuitry corrects for compression distortion by measuring voice coil temperature, then automatically compensates for reduced sensitivity and response changes, resulting in more dynamic and tonal low frequency reproduction.
