Frequently Asked Questions about ASX-15


How powerful is the ASX-15 Subwoofer from Audio System Italy?

The ASX-15 Subwoofer from Audio System Italy is a powerhouse with an impressive RMS power of 3500 watts. This allows you to enjoy clear and distortion-free playback even at the highest volumes. Especially if you like to listen to music loudly, the strength of this subwoofer becomes apparent. The high electrical load capacity ensures that it operates long and reliably. Combined with an effective sound level of 86 dB 1W/m, it offers you an extraordinary listening experience that speaks for itself. You will never again feel the need to lower the volume to avoid distortion.

What are the dimensions and installation depth of the ASX-15 Subwoofer?

The dimensions of the ASX-15 Subwoofer are impressive. With an outer diameter of 394 mm and an effective diameter of 353 mm, it fits into larger systems. The installation depth is 244 mm, which should be considered when planning for installation in a vehicle or home theater system. The substantial diameter provides ample diaphragm area for deep frequencies and powerful bass reproduction. These specifications make the subwoofer particularly suitable for applications that require high volumes without the risk of distorting the sound or overloading the subwoofer.

What materials are used in the construction of the ASX-15?

The ASX-15 Subwoofer is made from high-quality materials that contribute to both sound quality and durability. The diaphragm is made of carbon, which provides high stiffness and low weight. This allows for precise and rapid movement of the diaphragm, which is important for accurate bass reproduction. The aluminum die-cast basket offers a robust and lightweight structure that minimizes vibrations and provides a stable base for the other components. This choice of materials shows that the ASX-15 is designed to meet high demands for sound quality and longevity.

Why is the enclosure recommendation of more than 100 liters sensible?

The use of a housing with a volume of more than 100 liters for the ASX-15 Subwoofer is crucial to achieve optimal performance. A larger housing volume allows for better air movement, which improves the radiation of low frequencies and optimizes bass reproduction. Especially in bass reflex enclosures, this increases efficiency, allowing even low frequencies to be reproduced with full pressure and depth. The volume also helps to relieve the subwoofer by preventing air damping in the enclosure from hindering the movement of the diaphragm, resulting in a clearer sound characteristic.

How do the Thiele-Small parameters affect the performance of the subwoofer?

The ASX-15 Subwoofer is characterized by specific Thiele-Small parameters that influence its acoustic performance. The QMS of 3.83, QES of 0.45, and QTS of 0.40 provide insight into the mechanical behavior of the subwoofer. A QMS of 3.83 indicates good mechanical damping, while the QES of 0.45 suggests high electrical efficiency. The combined QTS value of 0.40 is ideal for use in bass reflex enclosures. VAS of 47 liters indicates the required air volume for optimal performance. These parameters demonstrate the complex tuning that ensures clear and powerful bass reproduction.

What is the significance of the ventilated air gap and pole core drilling?

The ventilated air gap and pole core drilling of the ASX-15 Subwoofer is a technical detail that allows for efficient heat dissipation. At high power, the voice coil can heat up significantly, which could affect the lifespan of the component. The ventilation ensures that heat is dissipated quickly, thereby increasing the longevity of the subwoofer. Additionally, it reduces the likelihood of distortion caused by excessive heat. This is particularly important during intense use, as constant ventilation ensures stable and consistent sound reproduction and protects the subwoofer from overheating.

How does the voice coil affect the performance of the ASX-15 Subwoofer?

The performance of the ASX-15 Subwoofer is significantly influenced by its 100 mm voice coil. This provides, thanks to its size and construction, an efficient transfer of electrical signals into mechanical movements. A larger voice coil supports an extended linear movement, which greatly increases the accuracy of bass reproduction. This is particularly advantageous at high volumes and low frequencies, as it can control considerable forces without distortion. This is one reason why the ASX-15 delivers impressive musical reproduction even under intense use.

What is the effect of the high efficiency of 86 dB 1W/m?

An efficiency of 86 dB 1W/m means that the ASX-15 Subwoofer produces a strong sound output even with low power input. This is particularly important when operating in an environment with limited power supply, such as a vehicle. The high efficiency ensures that more energy is converted into acoustic output, enhancing performance. This allows you to experience excellent bass even with less powerful amplifiers. Even with low input power, the subwoofer generates significant volume levels, ideal for users who want to achieve great sound in small systems.

How does the carbon membrane control the sound characteristics?

The carbon membrane of the ASX-15 Subwoofer plays a crucial role in controlling sound characteristics. By using carbon, the membrane becomes extremely rigid, leading to a more precise and faster response to audio signals. This rigidity minimizes unwanted resonances and colorations of the sound, which are common with less rigid materials. As a result, the subwoofer can reproduce low frequencies with clear definition and precision. The advantage of rapid membrane movement is particularly noticeable when reproducing pulsating bass, which appears detailed and powerful without sacrificing accuracy.

What consideration is important for compatibility when installing the ASX-15 in a car?

When installing the ASX-15 in a car, the installation depth of 244 mm is crucial for compatibility with various vehicle models. This deep installation requirement ensures that the subwoofer can fit even in large speaker systems in vehicles. The outer diameter of 394 mm should also not be overlooked, as it affects the fit in the designated installation space. Especially in smaller vehicle models, adjustments may be necessary to ensure optimal acoustic performance. Careful measurement of the installation space ensures perfect integration and performance.
