Pro Audio Technology Subwoofer Offers Deep Bass from Shallow Cabinet

Combining consumer and professional engineering technologies, Pro Audio Technology - the brand name of Professional Home Cinema, LLC - designs and manufactures a complete range of high-power loudspeakers and DSP-programmable amplifiers for high-end residential installations. The new LFC-12v architectural subwoofer is the most affordable ever from the brand and an ideal performer in rooms where multiple subwoofers are desired or where space is at a premium.

Pro Audio Technology’s new high-sensitivity architectural subwoofer is equipped with a 12-inch, 700W driver and achieves a maximum output of 117dB from a 6-inch deep cabinet. The professional-grade 12-inch driver includes a high-powered motor system designed with the most demanding music and movie soundtracks in mind. Its over-sized, four-inch voice coil aids with heat dissipation, greatly improving the thermal stability of the driver, allowing the LFC-12v to handle long periods of high output playback without over-heating and with no threat of sonic compression or damage. The subwoofer’s four front-firing free-flow ports enhance the LFC-12v’s low-frequency extension and output, resulting in a highly dynamic listening experience.

At 14-inches wide, the LFC-12v’s enclosure is designed to fit into a standard stud bay. Its shallow 6-inch depth lets it function as a primary subwoofer in media and multi-purpose rooms with limited space, or as an in-wall solution for side and rear wall placement in elaborate multi-subwoofer home theaters.

Designed for use with the brand’s DSP driven amplifier / processors, integrators can select between power levels of 300, 450, and 1000 watts per channel to drive the subwoofer - rated at a sensitivity of 96dB with one watt of input power.

“The advantages of using multiple subwoofers in a home theater or media room are well known, but the floor space they require can be a real issue. Our LFC-12v addresses space constraints while maintaining the high-output performance and visceral slam that customers and integrators expect from PRO subwoofers,” said Paul Hales, Pro Audio Technology founder.

Pro Audio Technology’s DMA and PMA amplifiers provide power to the LFC-12v while enabling in-room performance calibration via PRO SoundTools, a proprietary software program that makes it easy for integrators to attain optimized audio performance. For advanced users, PRO SoundTools provides parametric EQ and delay capabilities so installers can address in-room low-frequency modal problems and precisely tune sophisticated multi-subwoofer systems.
