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 ESP Subwoofer

  • Carbon Fiber Blend Cone (CFB) - The CFB composition uses an effective carbon fiber-based cocktail to provide you with 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.

The SuperCharge option on the Power Tuned 3512i ESP subwoofer ensures optimal use of magnetic energy through innovative neodymium technology. A neodymium short-circuit ring is placed on a specially cut pole piece with reversed polarity, redirecting lost energy in the voice coil gap. This increases motor strength by 20-25%, while the subwoofer continues to operate at the same power. This option gives the sound tighter bass and a clearer sound image. Users seeking maximum precision at variable volumes benefit from this innovative option, which also does not cause additional heat compression.
When installing the Power Tuned 3512i ESP from DD Audio, you should pay attention to the dimensions and the required installation depth. The subwoofer has a diameter of 30 cm (12 inches) and the installation space may vary depending on the type of enclosure. The installation is supported by the aluminum die-cast basket, which provides stability and support. The different impedance options (2 Ohm or 4 Ohm) offer flexibility in adapting to existing amplifier systems. Ensure solid mounting and good ventilation in the trunk to ensure optimal performance during prolonged use.
The Vario-Density Extended Range of Motion Surround (V-ROM) technology of the Power Tuned 3512i ESP significantly improves bass reproduction. This advanced suspension provides linear control even at high excursions, enabling dynamic and precise sound reproduction. The control ribs are compressed to offer stepless regulation; the higher the load level, the more control one gains. This not only provides better handling at loud levels but also delivers intense and dense bass reproduction that performs excellently even in more demanding musical environments.
The Super-Frame (SFrame) design of the Power Tuned 3512i ESP is designed to maximize the coil and cone diameter and optimize the suspension displacement. As a secondary short-circuit ring, the SFrame contributes to better heat dissipation, leading to efficient heat distribution from the coil. This design does not offer direct customization options, as it was specifically constructed to optimize the mechanical properties of the subwoofer. The performance characteristics of the Super-Frames make a significant contribution to improving overall stability and promote exceptional sound fidelity by maintaining the structural integrity of the subwoofer.
The ESP technology (Evolution Subwoofer Package) of the Power Tuned 3512i ESP from DD Audio optimizes sound quality through a variety of exclusive features. The subwoofer package maximizes performance beyond its size class by improving the ratio of moving mass to energy input. With ESP technology, the sound image is enhanced in both clarity and dynamic adaptability.

Thanks to an RMS output of 1200 watts and a peak output of 4800 watts, you'll enjoy powerful bass reproduction. The Masori Lowest Price Guarantee ensures you get the best price. The unique combination of an optimized ferrite magnet system and lossless linear suspension ensures powerful and clear reproduction. Customization options, such as the SuperCharge option, significantly increase performance efficiency. The variable impedance of double 2 ohms or double 4 ohms offers flexibility for integration into various sound setups.

Patented ferrite magnet system for maximum performance

The Power Tuned 3512i ESP subwoofer features a patented ferrite magnet system. This technology utilizes a sophisticated structure to amplify the magnetic force, resulting in excellent control and energy efficiency for the subwoofer. The stronger the magnet system, the more precise the control of the cone movement. In this price range, DD Audio's design clearly stands out, as a stronger magnet system offers greater precision and control at high volumes compared to average models. Reducing the magnetic energy could result in inaccurate bass reproduction, especially at large excursions.

Optimized mobility through Vario-Density Surround

The subwoofer's Vario-Density Extended Range of Motion Surround (V-ROM) ensures optimal linear control at maximum excursion. This technology is particularly important for ensuring detailed and dynamic bass reproduction even at high volume levels. This variable density allows for greater precision and more linear movement even with harsh controls. Many competitive models don't offer the same dynamic control at extreme movements, which can lead to distorted sound in such models. A lower range of motion would therefore limit the bass.

Die-cast aluminum basket for robust stability

The subwoofer's die-cast aluminum basket provides tremendous structural rigidity and ensures that vibrations don't negatively impact sound quality. This stability is maintained even during powerful bass, allowing the subwoofer to deliver clear and precise frequencies. A more stable basket positively influences the overall design, whereas models made with less robust materials can suffer from impaired resonance. A weaker frame could cause deformation and thus sound distortion at high volumes.

Impressive frequency response from 10Hz to 500Hz

The Power Tuned 3512i ESP covers a frequency range of 10Hz to 500Hz, allowing it to reproduce even the deepest bass frequencies with precision. This bandwidth is crucial for covering the full bass range in various musical genres. Other subwoofers often fail to reach the ultra-low frequency range, limiting their user experience. A higher lower frequency limit would result in a less rich bass range, resulting in the loss of subtle vibrations.

Ribbed foam surround for lossless performance

The ribbed foam surround not only provides flexibility but also durability, making the subwoofer suitable for heavy-duty use. This design prevents mechanical losses, as the surround retains its resilience even under heavy impact. Conventional models often use less durable materials that can lose elasticity over time, resulting in poorer sound quality. If the surround isn't sufficiently robust, vibration resistance and thus overall performance suffer.

SuperCharge option for optimized sound

With the SuperCharge option, the motor power is increased by 20-25% through the use of a neodymium shorting ring. This optimization dramatically improves efficiency, ensuring clean and defined bass at high levels. This technology is particularly effective in demanding applications where the utmost precision is required. A non-optimized motor would compromise the subtlety of the bass frequencies, especially during peak performance.

Tuned Spider System for optimal performance

The Tuned Spider System (TSS) is specifically tuned for critical performance characteristics such as power handling and precision excursion. Tuning for highly defined excursions optimizes performance, resulting in a smoother bass character. Unlike traditional systems, which often have limitations in high-end control, the TSS enables a precisely tuned performance that enhances the entire sonic spectrum. With a less tuned spider, sonic precision can suffer at high outputs.

Individual adaptability with Evolution Subwoofer Package (ESP)

The subwoofer package from DD Audio's Evolution series offers comprehensive customization options for various sound environments. The customization option facilitates not only the acoustic but also the visual integration of the subwoofer into all vehicle types.
