The SuperCharge Option

  • With the Supercharge option, you hear an even tighter and cleaner bass across the entire power range.
  • What exactly happens during SuperCharging? By adding a specially shaped neodymium short-circuit ring on a flush-cut pole piece, with the opposite polarity facing down, you redirect otherwise lost magnetic energy into the coil gap. This increases the usable motor strength by 20-25%, allowing smaller, lighter motors to have the same drive energy as larger motors.
  • "You cannot operate a SuperCharged sub with more power, and the SPL value does not increase, but you hear a cleaner output at higher levels. SuperCharged subwoofers use the power you give them more efficiently, but you still have the same heat dissipation and the same voice coil area. This means that the power handling is the same as that of the standard model."
  • Info: The Supercharge subwoofers are made to order. The delivery time is 4-6 weeks in addition to the specified delivery time.

Features of ESP Subwoofer

  • Carbon Fiber Blend Cone (CFB) - The CFB composition uses an effective carbon fiber-based cocktail to provide the highest strength-to-weight ratio in the industry.
  • Vario-Density Extended Range of Motion Surround (V-ROM) - Offers ultimate linear control at high deflection while enabling dynamically sounding bass reproduction. The control ribs are compressed to a lower density than the main surround body to allow for a stepless control system. The harder you control it, the more control you gain.
  • Tuned Spider System (TSS) - Each suspension is tuned to specific performance characteristics, e.g. High Definition, Power Handling, X-Stiff Control.
  • Super-Frame (SFrame) - Maximizes the spider diameter, the cone diameter, the suspension deflection, and thus acts as a secondary short-circuit ring and provides additional heat dissipation for better heat flow from the coil.
