SONANCE BPS-1 BANDPASS SUBWOOFER
The Sonance Architectural Series
®
 
BPS-1 Bandpass Subwoofer
 system will add deep, powerful bass impact to any audio system. 
The 
BPS-1
 cabinet remains completely hidden from view, delivering its bass energy through Sonance Architectural Series 
brackets and an architectural fi nish component that is a discreet complement to the surrounding architectural space. 
Features 
• Delivers powerful, room-fi lling bass through a small grille that complements the room’s architectural design. 
• Trimless and truly fl ush-mount installation — the plane of the subwoofer grille is perfectly aligned with the plane of the ceiling. 
•  Required Bandpass Connectors allow the 
BPS-1
 to be used with any size round or square Architectural Series bracket to match other Architectural 
Series speakers in the space. The Bandpass Connectors are heavily fl ared to minimize port noise during high-volume passages.
•  Engineered to provide years of reliable high-power operation, the 
BPS-1
 features a woofer with a felted paper cone with a rubber surround. The 
required Sonamp
®
 A150 is designed to protect the speaker from damage. This ensures the 
BPS-1
 can be installed in a location that will have limited 
or  no access without the need for maintenance. 
• The very effi cient 4th-order bandpass enclosure produces high output over the subwoofer’s entire frequency range.  
•  The 
BPS-1
 can be used with any separately-available Architectural Series round and square fi nish component: metal (with or without trim) or cloth 
(with or without trim).
