Danley Sound Labs Introduces New BC215 Configurable Subwoofer with Improved Directionality

Tom Danley has a history with producing some of the most unique subwoofers in the industry and the BC Series is no exception. The BC subwoofer class was developed out of what was a military project with Danley. The design criteria was to have an extremely high-output, low-frequency device fitted between the skids of a helicopter. From that project the BC412 was born and subsequently the BC415 and BC218. Now, the new BC215 design from Danley Sound Labs delivers Tom’s famous low-frequency output in a flexible, scalable design.
