| Subwoofer
The MPS 150 powered subwoofer is the perfect
companion for our Nucleus Micro, A'Diva
and Dué loudspeakers. The unique
two piece design allows the amplifier and
subwoofer sections to be positioned together,
or located separately - allowing them to
be placed with the rest of your equipment,
or hidden away if preferred.
With the MPS 150 even explosions have texture.
Since we expect you to use your MPS 150
for music as well as for home cinema, we
used the highest quality woofer we could
find. In fact, we had this one jointly developed
with Peerless of Denmark to work synergistically
with our patented S2 technology. The result
is a subwoofer that slams out tight, coherent,
precise BASS - without ever being over-powering.
There are several ways to measure power
ratings and this is the most conservative
one. Our 150 Watt rating is for continuous
RMS. This means a continuous output, all
day long, of 150 Watts. It has a big heavy
power supply and very high parts quality.
If we were to measure peak RMS, our amp
would easily pass for a 300 Watt amplifier.
In fact, most companies use the peak rating
and that is how they label their amps. We
choose to be honest, even conservative.
Better parts will deliver a better cinema
experience
The woofer, or piston driver / cone, is
the heart of any speaker design. Still,
most manufacturers, especially at mass market
system costs (£1,500 and under), use
the least cost driver approach. They spend
as little as they can. Most manufacturers
do not pay much attention to detail or articulation
in their subwoofers. They design their subs
to be sound effects generators. It is for
this reason that most sound terrible when
you try to listen to music. They may hide
their deficiencies if all they have to do
is go boom, crash, bang - just don't ask
them to make that bass drum sound tight
or a jazz trio sound lifelike.
We believe that even explosions have texture.
A better sounding speaker will give you
better sounding effects. Why should we not
be able to hear all the detail and not just
some muddy, boomy, boxy sounding crash.
Since we expect you to be able to use our
sub for music and not just cinema sound
effects, we use the highest quality woofer
we could find. In fact, we had this one
developed to work synergistically with our
patented S2 technology. To call it heavy
duty is an understatement. Weighing in at
a hefty 15 pounds you are not likely to
find one anywhere near this parts quality
in a subwoofer costing less than one thousand
dollars.
Running two subs is easy! Plus: No power
cord, how can this be?
Flexibility is not something normally associated
with subwoofers. Typically you try your
best to hide the ugly thing in a corner
or under a plant and sacrifice getting at
the controls or finding the optimal room
positioning. The MPS 150 allows you to remove
the amplifier module and place it with the
rest of your equipment while having to hide
only a very small woofer housing. Our sub
can be made small enough to actually fit
under a couch or other pieces of furniture.
It can do this while still having the output
normally associated with subwoofers many
times this size. More importantly, only
the audio signal via a single wire needs
to get to the sub. No power cord is involved
and thus you are not limited by outlet location
for your positioning!
Even though bass is omni-directional and
subwoofers can be placed almost anywhere,
that does not mean you are getting optimal
performance. In reality, any position you
choose will have some drawbacks, either
in decor compromise or sonically. The best
way to remove the decor compromise is to
use a beautiful product. The best way to
eliminate sonic compromise is to use two
subs. Two subs gives you the ability to
eliminate standing waves and other sonic
problems while dramatically increasing bass
output. We made it easy for you, and less
expensive. Why purchase two subs when you
can run two bass modules with one amplifier?
