Frequently Asked Questions about ASX-12


What is the power output of the Audio System Italy ASX-12 Subwoofer?

The ASX-12 Subwoofer from Audio System Italy impresses with an RMS power of 3500 watts. This higher power allows for deeper bass reproduction and is particularly suitable for demanding music genres. With such wattage, every musical nuance is amplified. This makes it suitable for intense applications where powerful and clear sound is desired. So, if you prefer extremely high volume with precise bass reproduction, the ASX-12 delivers the necessary power to provide an immersive sound experience that stands out from conventional models.

What are the Thiele-Small parameters of the ASX-12 Subwoofer?

The ASX-12 Subwoofer has specific Thiele-Small parameters that characterize its performance. The QMS value is 3.44, while the QES value is 0.35, indicating efficient drive and good control. The QTS value of 0.32 shows the overall quality and stiffness of the subwoofer. With a resonance frequency (Fs) of 33 Hz and a VAS of 19.5 liters, this subwoofer can produce deep bass while remaining very precise. These parameters are crucial for assessing compatibility with various enclosure types and ensure optimal performance.

What materials are used in the construction of the Audio System Italy ASX-12?

The ASX-12 Subwoofer from Audio System Italy is made from high-quality materials that enhance its stability and sound quality. The robust aluminum die-cast basket supports a weight of 30 kg and provides stability under load. The sound emission is optimized by the carbon diaphragm, which ensures clear and resonance-free bass reproduction. The ventilated air gap and pole core drilling ensure efficient cooling of the components. This combination of materials is ideal for demanding requirements in the automotive and home audio sectors, as it ensures improved performance and durability.

How does the ventilated air gap affect the performance of the ASX-12 Subwoofer?

The ventilated air gap of the ASX-12 Subwoofer from Audio System Italy significantly improves the thermal regulation of the unit. It promotes heat dissipation during operation, extending the lifespan and minimizing performance losses due to overheating. The air gap allows for efficient air circulation around the 100mm voice coil, enhancing multiple resonances and making the sound clearer and deeper. This technology supports the subwoofer's ability to deliver high levels over extended periods without sacrificing efficiency or sound fidelity, which is a great advantage in demanding music setups.

How strong is the ASX-12 in its bass reproduction?

The ASX-12 Subwoofer delivers outstanding bass reproduction thanks to its 3500 Watts RMS power and carbon membrane. It achieves a sound emission of 85 dB 1W/m, which means sufficient sound pressure to transmit bass powerfully and precisely. Especially if you enjoy listening to music loudly, the subwoofer ensures that no low-frequency sound is lost. The frequency response is deep with high load reserves, meaning you can enjoy clear bass notes without distortion, even at high sound pressure. This makes the ASX-12 perfect for audiophile applications that demand high sound fidelity.

What are the recommended enclosure parameters for the ASX-12?

For optimal operation of the ASX-12 Subwoofer, a bass reflex enclosure with a volume of at least 60 liters is recommended. This recommendation is based on the Thiele-Small parameters of the subwoofer, which ensure an accurate adjustment of the enclosure to the acoustic needs. The correct enclosure size influences the resonance frequency as well as the deep bass reproduction and minimizes distortion. By adhering to these specifications, you maximize sound quality and ensure that the subwoofer can unleash its full power. This leads to a balanced mix of depth and clarity in the bass range.

What is the outer diameter of the ASX-12 Subwoofer and how is it installed?

The ASX-12 has an outer diameter of 324 mm and a mounting depth of 216 mm, indicating specific installation requirements. These dimensions are crucial for installation in a control panel or a specific enclosure. Measuring the existing opening is essential to ensure a clean, secure fit. Since no brand restrictions are specified, it is advisable to plan the scale and measurements in advance. A properly mounted Subwoofer minimizes vibrations and maximizes sound fidelity. The planned use of the supplied or recommended mounting parts ensures stability.

What impact does the pole core drilling have on the sound quality of the ASX-12?

The pole core drilling of the ASX-12 is crucial for cooling performance and thus for improved sound quality at high power. This drilling supports airflow around the voice coil, helping to effectively dissipate heat. A cooler voice coil enhances sound precision and reduces distortions that could arise from overheating. By increasing thermal efficiency, the Subwoofer can deliver its maximum performance without sacrificing efficiency. This helps the ASX-12 maintain clean, undistorted bass even under heavy load.

What impedance does the Audio System ASX-12 offer?

The Audio System ASX-12 Subwoofer is equipped with an impedance of 2+2 Ohm, offering flexible connection options. This impedance value allows the Subwoofer to be wired in various configurations, such as parallel or series, to adjust the load. This versatility is useful in audio systems that aim to connect multiple amplifiers, as it allows you to achieve the desired power. Proper impedance matching ensures maximum transmission power while avoiding damage to the amplifier and speakers. This way, the optimal audio level can be easily achieved.

What voice coil is installed in the ASX-12 and what role does it play?

The ASX-12 features a 100mm voice coil, which provides the basis for its high performance. This larger voice coil helps the Subwoofer generate stronger magnetic fields, increasing the diaphragm's mobility. This enables deeper and more precise bass. Additionally, it improves the thermal efficiency of the Subwoofer, as heat is better distributed and dissipated. This larger coil also ensures that the Subwoofer can handle higher output levels without overheating, which is essential for demanding audio applications in intense environments.
