The SW1 system: Brains, brawn, and beauty

The SW1 is the most advanced and versatile subwoofer system available. Its innovative design provides
exceptionally deep, uniform, dynamic, and low distortion reproduction for extremely realistic bass. In addition,
THIEL’s patent-pending SmartSub™ technology enables the SW1 system to overcome the problems exhibited by
conventional subwoofers—poor integration with the system’s main speakers and altered response due to nearby
walls—to deliver near-ideal performance with virtually any type of main loudspeaker and with virtually any room
placement. The SW1 is the first intelligent subwoofer—simple, seamless, and smart.

The Subwoofer: Powerful, extremely realistic bass reproduction

The woofer unit is a stand-alone subwoofer for reproducing the “point one” channel in a home theater system. It uses
two very high performance, high output 10-inch drivers powered by a high efficiency, 1000 watt switching mode
amplifier. The amplifier’s circuitry includes the aspects of SmartSub™ technology that correct response problems
caused by nearby walls and eliminates compression distortion normally caused by high power to the drivers.

The Controller: Perfect sonic integration for seamless sound

The optional companion SC1 Controller can be used in augment mode to extend the bass range of the main
speakers or in crossover mode to transfer the bass energy from the main speakers into the subwoofer for higher
output levels. The Controller’s SmartSub technology allows near perfect integration with any speaker, regardless of
brand, by automatically calculating the subwoofer response that provides seamless integration. The Controller unit
has two channel circuitry so that stereo bass can be preserved when used with two or more subwoofer units. It is
remote controllable, has balanced and unbalanced low level inputs and outputs, and can be used with up to 16
subwoofer units in very large systems.
