THE 16 SUB Pro-Passive SEALED SHALLOW: The Pinnacle of High-Power, High-Performance Subwoofers
Building on the tremendous success of our 16” powered subwoofer, we are excited to introduce the next evolution in bass performance: THE16 SUB PRO PS SH. Designed for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts who demand nothing but the best, this subwoofer delivers the ultimate combination of power, precision, and compact design.
Compact Design, Unmatched Power
THE 16 SUB Pro PS SH isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a complete reimagining of what a subwoofer can be. By removing the electronics compartment and utilizing top-of-the-line neodymium magnets instead of traditional ceramic ones, we’ve created a subwoofer that’s more compact and more powerful than ever. Measuring just 47 x 47 x 29.5 cm / 18,5 x 18,5 d 11,61 inch, this subwoofer packs a massive punch in a small package, making it easy to integrate into any space.
State-of-the-Art Materials for Superior Performance
Every component of THE16 SUB PRO PS SH has been meticulously chosen to deliver the best possible sound. The rohacell carbon sandwich cone is one of the most advanced materials available, providing exceptional strength and lightness. The surround is crafted from Santoprene, a high-excursion material that’s lighter than rubber, offering higher SPL and superior control. This allows for massive air movement despite the subwoofer’s compact size, ensuring that every note, every rumble, and every explosion is felt with incredible intensity.
Unleash the Full Potential of Your Sound System
With a power handling capacity of 1500W RMS and even higher peak power, THE 16 SUB Pro PS SH is built to work seamlessly with the most powerful amplifiers. Its high linear excursion capability and narrow high-roll surround mean that even the tightest, most rapid sounds—like a gunshot—are reproduced with stunning clarity and precision. And when it comes to deep, low rumbles, you’ll feel them like never before, adding a new dimension to your listening experience.
Perfect for Advanced Audio Setups
The compact form factor of THE 16 SUB PRO PS SH makes it ideal for tight spacing in bass arrays, whether you’re using Trinnov Waveforming, double bass arrays, single bass arrays, Dirac ART, or other bass-enhancing systems. It’s designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing setup, providing enhanced bass that takes your audio experience to the next level.
The Ultimate Companion for Serious Audiophiles
THE 16 SUB Pro PS SH is the smaller sibling of our acclaimed THE 18 SUB PRO PS SH, and it carries forward the same commitment to excellence. Whether you’re upgrading your home theater, building a high-performance audio system, or simply looking for the best possible bass, THE 16 SUB PRO PS SH is the perfect choice.
Feel the difference that high-end, high-power performance can make. With THE 16 SUB PRO PS SH, every sound comes to life with breathtaking clarity and power, turning your listening experience into something truly extraordinary. TECHNICAL DATA
