Overview

A two year investigation into the optimization of high output low
frequency sound has yielded the LS1208 "basspipe" subwoofer
system. The "basspipe" is a multiple flare horn, connected to an organ
like pipe, slowly flaring to the mouth. The bandwidth is narrowed,
optimized to a specific range in the lower registers. Outdoor
measurements show very smooth, very high output in the 35Hz to
200Hz range. This is the highest efficiency that we have ever seen for
a single 18" driver enclosure, especially with a gross volume of only 22
cubic feet. In addition, a significant gain is achieved when using two
units side by side as the mouth nears maximum acoustic load.

Additional research has developed a woofer with significantly higher
power handling than any other speaker that we currently use, making
the LS1208 one of the highest output subwoofers available at any
price. Performance, packaging, and overall value make the LS1208 a
benchmark.

LS1208

Suitable for touring or fixed installations, the cabinets are constructed
of 15mm 11-ply Baltic Birch with heavy internal bracing for reduced
resonance and better durability. The enclosure is covered in a black
carpet covering and incorporates metal corner protectors, rugged
curved anti-resonant metal grilles, and 1/4" or Speakon™ input
connectors. An optional finish of black ultrathane paint (LS1208B) is
also available. Additionally, the Speakon™ connectors feature a
configuration switch which allows instant reversal of Speakon™ jack
pinouts for easy single wire hook-up using optional four wire
Speakon™ cables. The LS1208 includes tilt-back wheels and top/rear
mounted corner handles for better maneuverability and stacking.
