Our thoughts

Everything that shapes the bass lives inside one classically styled cabinet, from the 1000W amplifier to the digital preamplifier, which makes it a self-contained partner for owners building around the 700 Series.

The single 10-inch Aerofoil cone combines variable thickness with lightness and rigidity, a mix designed to keep the low end controlled at high output. Dynamic EQ is intended to hold the bass balance steady whether you listen quietly or loud, and the app handles calibration and correction over Bluetooth LE, so tuning happens on a phone rather than at the cabinet.

It suits a dedicated home theatre where low-frequency weight matters as much as clarity, and owners who want the bass kept inside one cabinet. Finishes run to gloss black, satin white and rosenut, with black or grey grilles. Speak with our team by phone or in the showroom about how its XLR, RCA and 12V trigger connections fit your processor and existing speakers.
