PRODUCT-INFORMATION

The SB185C low profile cinema subwoofer loudspeaker system uses
a high power 18-in cone transducer mounted in an optimally vented
enclosure to fill small to medium-sized theaters with high definition
sub bass information at earth-shaking output levels. Its low profile
design allows for placement flexibility and the efficient clustering
of multiple enclosures to optimize sub bass coverage of the entire
auditorium.

The SB185C’s optimally vented enclosure uses enclosure resonance
to increase sub bass response while limiting driver excursion. This
method produces less distortion and minimizes driver strain while
extending sub bass response to the lower limits of human hearing.
Special effects will have greater clarity, greater power and greater
impact.

A two-terminal barrier strip, which accomodates bare wire, tinned
leads or spade lugs, is located on the side of the enclosure for
convenient access in cramped installation areas.

The use of multiple SB185C’s provides even greater output capability
and further extends low frequency response. All external compo­nents feature a textured black finish to eliminate the reflection of
light through perforated cinema screens.

COMPONENTS & CONSTRUCTION

The SB185C is a high output, extended bandwidth subwoofer
optimized specifically for cinema use. It features a high power 18­in low frequency transducer mounted in an optimally vented
enclosure.

The enclosure is constructed of 3/4-in Medium Density Fiberboard.
Extensive internal bracing is employed to minimize panel reso­nances resulting from the large acoustical energies generated within
the enclosure and maximize acoustical energy transfer.

Input connectors are 2-terminal barrier strip, designed to accommo­date bare wire, tinned leads or spade lugs. The enclosure is finished
in black textured finish.
