The Wilson Audio Submerge Subwoofer uncovers bass that lies hidden deep in your beloved LPs and the soundtracks of eagerly anticipated movies.
It unravels the low-frequency information responsible for defining the spatial quality of recorded music halls and the explosive impact in cinematic heroics. The Wilson Audio Submerge meticulously unveils the underlying tension and sonic groundwork of the audio experience.
A meticulously crafted plate hosts front-facing analog controls, allowing for precise fine-tuning of the Submerge’s balance. These analog knobs offer adjustable settings for Gain, Delay (Phase), ELF Trim, and LP Frequency. Once configured, the intuitive controls can be easily marked using custom indicator rings, ensuring seamless readjustments while enabling a swift return to initial settings if inadvertently altered.
The built-in amplifier, boasting 1,600 watts of power, is backed by sophisticated, custom-tuned DSP. This power effortlessly manages the dual-spider twelve-inch (12″) woofer, while the DSP calibration guarantees an ideal acoustic interplay between the driver and enclosure volume, delivering a harmonized and lifelike soundstage.
Tailoring the subwoofer’s output to individual preferences becomes effortless, achieving an optimal blend of depth and clarity within audio and/or cinema systems. The inclusion of balanced and unbalanced Left/Mono and right inputs provides flexibility, accommodating diverse audio configurations and sources.
Furthermore, the DSP functionality allows for complete bypass, particularly advantageous in systems featuring sound processors in home theaters or separate processors like the Wilson Audio ActivXO dual-subwoofer crossover.
Meticulous Design Process
Wilson Audio dedicated special attention to the design of this remarkable subwoofer, emphasizing its unique application and pivotal role in intricate systems. The proprietary 12″ woofer was meticulously optimized for the lowest audible frequencies, featuring a dual spider design and a triangulated driver geometry for precise, piston-like movement, delivering immersive performance across various applications.
The isolation of the amplifier in the Wilson Audio Submerge was a focal point in minimizing interferences. The amplifier plate seamlessly mounts to the V-Material back, effectively managing vibrations and preventing sympathetic resonances from infiltrating the amplifier, resulting in a purer sound output.
The 1,600-watt amplifier is uniquely affixed to the sizable heatsink plate situated on the enclosure’s rear. This coupling efficiently dissipates heat from the internal amplifier components to the decorative heatsink fins, drawing design inspiration from the majestic mountain ranges surrounding Wilson Audio.
