HIGH-PRESSURE SUBWOOFERTRUE SUBWOOFER EQsignatureBack panel of True Subwoofer EQ shown18Bob’s design for a high-pressure, miniaturesized subwoofer changed everything.With the Sunfire True Subwoofer, musicand film enthusiasts could have real bassin a room that could never support a large,bulky, old-school subwoofer.How do you improve on it? Add balancedinputs, a measurement microphone andinternal contour circuitry that automaticallyoptimizes the True Subwoofer EQSignature to your individual listening/viewing room. The dimensions and physicalvolume of your room can affect bass,creating bumps and dips in frequency response.Certain bass frequencies are overaccentuated;others are noticeably shy.To match the True Subwoofer EQ Signatureto your room, place the measurementmic in your listening chair and follow foursimple instructions. Voila! It’s optimized.Needless to say, the True SubwooferEQ Signature is our flagship model. At 13inches cubed, it produces huge bass from abox a fraction of the size of its competitors.Powered by a special internal Sunfire2700-watt amplifier using Bob’s patentedTracking Downconverter power supplytechnology, the Sunfire True Subwoofer EQSignature simply has no equal.ÿ 2700-watt amp featuring patented Tracking Downconverterpower supplyÿ Frequency response: 16 Hz to 100 Hz (+0, –3 dB)ÿ Measurement microphone and automatic internalcontour compensation keeps it that wayÿ Greater than 116 dB peak SPL with room gainÿ Input coupling is optical and accepts balanced,standard and high-level inputsÿ Bore 10 inches – stroke 2.35 inches (over 360 cubicinches total air volume displacement)ÿ Crossover points variable from 30 Hz to 100 Hzÿ Input level (volume) controlÿ Phase continuously adjustable 0˚ to 180˚ÿ Passive 70 Hz 6 dB per octave hi-pass line leveloutput for satellite loudspeakersÿ Dimensions: 13" by 13" by 13"ÿ Two-year warranty

HIGH-PRESSURE SUBWOOFERTRUE SUBWOOFER EQ“Never has there been a subwoofer that couldpump out such prodigious deep bass at levelscapable of rattling the contents of a house,from an enclosure smaller than a stack of LPs.”*Audiophile Review* quote refers toprevious versionwithout EQ feature,but it was too goodto not include.This is the subwoofer that started therevolution…in a dramatically upgradedform. At 11 inches cubed, the Sunfire TrueSubwoofer (now fifth generation withbuilt-in equalization) re-defines the term“spouse friendly.” The True Subwoofer EQis small enough to fit into practically anymusic or theater system to quickly addstunningly high levels of deep and musicallyaccurate bass.It’s easy to set up because we gave itbuilt-in diagnostics that automaticallysmoothes its output frequency contour toyour unique listening room (see furtherexplanation on the EQ Signature page).The True Subwoofer EQ incorporatestwo of Bob Carver’s inventions: First isthe high-pressure, high-back-emf designwhich allows creation of incredible levelsof bass energy from an impossibly smallenclosure. Second is Bob’s Tracking Downconverterpower source used to supply theinternal 2700-watt amplifier.And now we’ve added a balanced inputand made it “smart” by adding a measurementmicrophone and internal contourcircuitry. When you add it all up, The TrueSubwoofer EQ has absolutely no performanceequal its size.ÿ 2700-watt amp featuring patented TrackingDownconverter power supplyÿ Frequency response: 18 Hz to 100 Hz (+0, -3 dB)ÿ Greater than 110 dB peak SPL with room gainÿ Measurement microphone and self-adjustingcontour circuitryÿ Input coupling is optical and accepts balanced,standard and high-level inputsÿ Bore 8 inches – stroke 2.35 inches for a total airvolume displacement of over 235 cubic inchesÿ Crossover points variable from 30 Hz to 100 Hzÿ Input level (volume) controlÿ Phase continuously adjustable 0˚ to 180˚ÿ Passive 70 Hz 6 dB per octave hi-pass line leveloutput for satellite loudspeakersÿ Dimensions: 11" by 11" by 11"ÿ Two-year warranty19

HIGH-PRESSURE SUBWOOFER“When you first see it, you won’t believe it’s capableof delivering significant bass. And when you firsthear it, you’ll search theroom to see if someone hassneaked in two of them.”TRUE SUBWOOFER SUPER JUNIORStereo Review’s Sound and VisionBack panel of True Subwoofer Super Junior20We took a good thing and made it, well…smaller, both in size and price. The SunfireTrue Subwoofer Super Junior fits any roomand any budget. Using the same patentedamplifier and speaker technology as itsaward winning big brothers, “Junior”packs serious bass into a tiny nine-inchcube.It’s perfect for entry-level systemscoupled with A/V receivers or lower-pricedA/V preamps. Many Sunfire dealers findthe Super Junior woofer matches up verywell with bookshelf loudspeakers as wellas floor standing speakers.The Super Junior’s modest price anddiminutive size also make it ideal in installationsnot suited for a single larger sub.Good placement of one woofer providesbass extension with even dispersion…twowoofers guarantee it.Connect a desktop PC with DVD driveand high resolution monitors to DSL (orfaster connection) to the Internet and youhave a direct pipeline into a vast storehouseof music and videos. Super Juniorcan add impact and detail to any desktopmusic system, as well as bringing thunderousrealism to PC video games — whiletaking up a minimum of space.ÿ 1500-watt high-power, high-efficiency TrackingDownconverter power amplifierÿ 22 to 100 Hz frequency response (+0, -3 dB)ÿ Greater than 108 dB peak SPL with room gainÿ Long-throw Sunfire premium driversÿ Auto signal-sensing turn-on and stand-by modeÿ Line level unbalanced inputsÿ Speaker level binding post inputsÿ Line level high-pass outputsÿ Continuously variable phase control and crossoverfrequency adjustmentÿ Continuously variable volume level controlÿ Soft clipping circuit allows graceful overload andprevents speaker damage due to clippingÿ Gold-plated inputs and outputsÿ IEC-style detachable line cord (120V AC only)ÿ Dimensions: 9" by 9" by 9"ÿ Two-year warranty
