Sonance Cinema SUB 12-500D In-Wall Subwoofer System

Cinema 12-500 triple play

The Cinema SUB 12-500 comes in three pieces: the back box, the subwoofer driver, and the outboard 457-watt SUB 12-500D amp. (The amp cranks out 754 watts if you decide to go all out and use two SUB 12-500 woofer/box combos with the one amp.)

Sonance Cinema Series In-Wall subwoofers combine elegant, modern visual design with uncompromised bass performance for home theaters. The Cinema 12-500 In-Wall Subwoofer incorporates a 12” woofer. Dual central mount spiders are used in both models to maximize the movement of the laminated carbon fiber honeycomb woofer cone.

The SUB 12-500D Class D amplifier measures approximately 17 by 4 by 14 inches and is rack mountable. The company recommends that the amp have 4 inches of clearance on the top and all sides. The amp also has standard features, such as an autoon trigger, low-pass crossover bypass, a variable crossover frequency control, phase switch, and both line-level and speaker-level inputs. There are two sets of speaker terminals on the back so you can run one or two subs off the same amp.

The box ships with a blank plate installed where the woofer will eventually go.
While the sub 12-500 doesn’t hit the 20-HZ notes that turn your internal organs to Jell-O and make the joints in your furniture come unglued, this Sonance sub will easily cause you to believe in a higher power when it comes to filling your room with bass.

It’s easy to recommend this subwoofer because Sonance has done so many things right with it. For example, they did a good job isolating the back box to minimize resonances that’ll transfer to the wall. In addition, the SUB 12-500 driver itself is a serious transducer that can move some serious air. Also the amp’s ability to run one or two subwoofers is a nice cost saver for anyone who wants to run things a little louder than the normal person or who has a larger-than-average room. Just as impressive is the fact that—unlike some subs that tend to have a bump at a particular frequency—the Sonance sub’s response is free of noticeable peaks and dips.
The Sonance Cinema SUB 12-500 is an extremely impressive package that will do a heck of a job for anyone who wants to put bass into their room without compromising space or décor.
