DYNACORD‘s latest low-end power pack is literally blowing fresh air into the powered subwoofer market. Kicked out a combined 1300W, the PowerSub 312 not only delivers high sound press levels in the deep bass register but also the power for its satellite loudspeakers.

Anaheim, CA, January 17, 2008: Boasting an integrated three-channel power amplifier with a total output of 1300W, the PowerSub 312 active 12″ subwoofer was specially designed to allow the swift and simple creation of a subwoofer satellite system. Two passive satellite loudspeaker systems (e.g. DYNACORD D8) are connected to the PS312 via Speakon outputs. The “X-Over” switch offers a choice of three discrete frequencies for the crossover between the subwoofer and the satellites: 70Hz, 100 Hz, and 140 Hz. The “Sub Level” knob allows you to adjust the output of the PowerSub 312 within the range -x{f0a5}dB to +10dB. more
