DB10 Passive Cinema Subwoofer

Designed with the same slim cabinet and same profile as the DB10, the DB10 SUB allows the sound designer to build a “Wall” of front cinema speakers. Featuring two 200×200 VESA mounting points, the subwoofer can be installed vertically and horizontally, both behind screen and further within the room. A heavy duty, hand built 10” Sub bass driver with a high linear excursion features a double stacked magnet system. The driver is an improved version of a design once used in a famous studio range of British active subwoofers. This driver along with the transmission line low noise flared port results in an efficient, high SPL design with a response down to low 20Hz region. When used in an array configuration with multiple front subwoofers, both a higher SPL and lower response curve can be achieved.

Driver Design

Designed and built by hand at the Volt Loudspeaker factory in Dorset, the 10” Sub driver is probably one of the best in the world. It is an improved modern version of the driver once used in the flagship model of a famous range of British active subwoofers. This upgraded version uses a vented symmetrical field magnet system with an exceptional long voice coil for large linear excursion capability. Suspension stiffness and excursion is optimised for tight control over high power transients.

Cabinet Design

At only 180mm deep, the DB10 SUB can be easily placed within a small void behind acoustic screens and alongside the identical footprint of the DB10. Two 200x200mm VESA mounting points allow for vertical and horizontal wall mounting. This allows for easy placement further within the cinema room or below the projection screen.
