An “outside the box” active subwoofer created by the legendary American firm McIntosh with the aim of bringing unparalleled levels of precision and viscerality to the reproduction of movies and music, in which everything, absolutely everything, is superlative.
Thus, as far as the acoustic configuration is concerned, a total of four imposing 330 mm diameter woofers equipped with multilayer carbon fiber cones and massive magnetic motors (very high power magnets, extra-long voice coils, ultra-high suspensions) are used. -robust).
The “muscle” necessary to drive this exceptional set of speakers with authority is provided by four Class D amplifiers of 500 watts continuous, which means a total continuous power of 2,000 watts that are delivered with absolute reliability even in the most difficult operating conditions. demanding.
Obviously, this formidable subwoofer is also a paragon of versatility, as corroborated by its generous provision of inputs and outputs and its very wide adjustment possibilities. Thus, there are high-pass and low-pass filters and continuous phase adjustment intended to fine-tune the cut-off frequency to the millimeter and ensure a perfect transition with the rest of the equipment's speakers, while two parametric equalization filters contribute to compensate for unwanted effects caused by their location, the room or the furniture.
Entirely designed and manufactured in EE.UU. , the PS2K is completed with a distinguished gloss black finish topped by carbon fiber trim and an aluminum base.
