PV-1
The PV1, although elegant and stylish, owes its curved 
shape to sound engineering principles - those of a 
pressure vessel. From a simple bubble to a sophisticated 
deep sea diving bell, a spherical form is the ideal shape 
to accommodate pressure differences between the 
inside and outside of the enclosure. The strength of the 
form enables a relatively thin wall construction to the 
aluminium enclosure, maximising the internal volume.

Unit 1: 2x f200mm (8”) mica / 
aluminium cone long-throw
Twin 8” drivers operate back to back to minimise 
pressure differences throughout the internal volume. The 
driver diaphragms too are built to withstand pressure, 
being a three layer construction of mica cone, expanded 
polystyrene ller and concave aluminium outer skin. 
Coupled to 500 watts of ICEpower® amplication, the 
drivers have the dynamics and control to deliver all a 
subwoofer should. The subwoofer accepts both line level 
and speaker level inputs, the input panel being hidden 
discreetly in the base.
