ProAc ER-1 Brochure

For ProAc, the development of a sub-woofer has only
recently become a priority. In our opinion early
designs blurred detail and imagery in stereo systems.
We felt that it was only with the advent of the more
compact active sub-woofers with their own
electronics and filters that matching capability and
sound quality were improved, but we still did not feel
the need to produce our own unit.

Lately however, particularly with the increasing
popularity of home theatre and with the success of
our own ProAc Home Theatre system (Studio
125/Tablette 2000/CC One Centre Channel) we
decided that it would be desirable to develop a high
quality sub-woofer which would be a credible
addition to sophisticated audio systems.

This first ProAc ER One (Equalised Reflex) sub­woofer is an active unit with its own filters and
internal amplification. Development has been a
lengthy process. Our initial research indicated that
drive unit cone material was a main contributing
factor to sub-bass colouration. So a new carbon
composite cone, developed a few years ago
specifically for our Response and Future ranges,
provided the perfect solution.

ER ONE SUB WOOFER

Enhanced and extended
bass response for quality
audio systems

Characterised by a clean and uncoloured bass output,
this new material was developed into a ten-inch cone
specifically for the ER One. It was immediately found
to have the necessary rigidity and internal damping to
produce a clean and natural sound, complementing
the output of the main loudspeakers rather than
detracting from it. The drive unit is mounted in a
compact enclosure of high rigidity and thickness, with
damped inner walls and loaded by our unique
equalised reflex port, as developed for our Response
and Future models.

Naturally with the compatibility of the cone material
and other design factors, this unit has proved to be
especially successful with our own home theatre
system, but extensive testing has also assured its
effectiveness with other high quality home theatre and
two-channel systems.

The ER One is a true ProAc thoroughbred and
immediately raises the game in sub-bass
performance; for an extra octave of bass in a two­channel hi-fi system or explosive weight and
authority in a home theatre system the ER One is the
one to beat.

Available in a variety of real wood veneers, this
stunning new unit is available at your nearest
ProAc dealer.
