Dual 15'' Powered Subwoofer
RSW-15
The RSW-15 is an extremely high-output, lowdistortion powered subwoofer with response extending to the lowest audible frequencies and beyond. A true no-compromise design, it brings unparalleled bass impact and emotional intensity to any music or home theater system, while maintaining the tight driver control necessary to preserve all the subtle detail of the original sound.
The RSW-15 has a rear-firing active driver and a front-mounted passive radiator, both with 15-inch Cerametallic™ cones and rigid, low-resonance cast-aluminum frames. The active driver’s massive 240-ounce motor structure and 3-inch high-temperature voice coil enable it to deliver rich, clean, gutcrunching bass down to the bottom of the audible frequency range without sacrificing clarity. It is powered by a high-efficiency BASH® digital hybrid amplifier, capable of 2400 watts dynamic power output. The passive radiator enables the RSW-15 to generate very deep bass at levels that would ordinarily require a much larger driver and enclosure.
To ensure seamless blending with a system’s main speakers, the RSW-15 incorporates an exceptionally steep 36dB/octave low-pass electronic crossover with a continuously variable frequency control and a phase switch. A bypass switch allows direct connection to the amplifier for use with the crossover built into an A/V preamp or receiver. The subwoofer’s level control is mounted on the side of the cabinet for easy access. Input is linelevel via a stereo pair of RCA jacks; another pair of RCA jacks provides unfiltered output for connection to a second subwoofer or other component. An “auto power” feature enables the subwoofer to turn on and off automatically. The cabinet is available finished in furniture-grade Blonde Maple, Medium Cherry, or Black Ash wood veneer.

*Dynamic power indicates the actual power this amplifier will deliver to the woofer under normal operating conditions. While the FTC power rating indicates power available on a continuous, long-term basis, subwoofers do not rely on that type of power. Instead, the amplifier is called upon to deliver large, short-term peaks of power to be able to support the wide dynamics required by today’s digital music and movie formats. In addition to the required FTC power rating, we’ve provided the dynamic power rating as a better indication of the product’s true performance.
