Subwoofer M&K SB12Painted "cube" called SB12 belongs to the latest M-series, which is also present in his younger brother SB8, respectively, wherein the smaller volume and more modest caliber drivers. Traditionally this manufacturer in SB12 uses a closed acoustic design and proprietary driver - a 12-inch (300 mm) SuperFast Deep Bass Long-Throw Woofer. Built-in amplifier rated 250W built solely on discrete base and has high current efficiency. Overload protection it provides proprietary scheme Headroom Maximizer, not the caller, unlike their own kind, the effect of sound compression. The subwoofer includes an adjustable crossover (40 - 200Hz) with the possibility for an external bypass filtration, smooth adjustment phase and signal level. There is also an automatic switch to the input signal. Switching interfaces are presented in full - are located on the rear panel inputs and outputs of both linear and high level.
Musical ability SB12 frankly pleased. His bass does not have any appreciable defects that give reason to doubt the high-class products. All, even the most complex material was played with admirable expression and a high degree of reliability, with crisp, clear rhythmic structure rather difficult to play songs. The subwoofer has a high acoustic resolution and sharp attack, allowing easily to identify a variety of percussion instruments. Particularly valuable is the fact that with the existing regulations can accurately align the unit with virtually any type of speakers. At least with our construction 2.1 system's reference speaker went over smoothly.
And in a home theater SB12 is unlikely to disappoint anyone. Nearly the whole arsenal of LFE passed without audible distortion and high intelligibility. Only the most explosive bit lost in the dynamics, with the feeling of loss of control in small infralow area. It is quite excusable, because compromises in this price category are inevitable. But monotony in the sound of M&K SB12, you will not notice - subwoofer clearly separates sounds of different origin, so that the discomfort of the powerful but monotonous bass peals will not. |
