THIEL’s Award-winning sound
“The SS2 can be
accurately calibrated to
virtually any placement
…Its plug and play
simplicity takes 98% of
the mystery out of
subwoofer use.”
Solution for Wall and Corner Placement Problems
The large amount of power
used in small, high output
subwoofers can produce
substantial heating of the
drivers’ voice coils which, if
uncorrected, lowers output
and alters tonal balance.
The SW1 amplifier’s unique
electronic circuitry corrects
for compression distortion
by measuring voice coil
temperature, then
automatically compensates
for reduced sensitivity and
response changes, resulting
in more dynamic and tonal
low frequency
reproduction.
Like any speaker, a subwoofer placed
near room walls or in a corner will
produce uneven response, with
some frequencies being
overemphasized and others
reduced. Through special
patented circuitry in its
amplifier, THIEL SmartSubs
can be easily adjusted to
completely and accurately
eliminate wall interaction
problems for any placement—without
microphones, equalizers, or complicated
measurements. The result is the elimination of room boundary
problems for outstandingly balanced and smooth bass reproduction.
