The E12X-SUB can be deployed in two different ways, firstly in an active mode with a dedicated d&b amplifier configuration with the smaller E-Series loudspeakers. In the second operational mode, the internal passive crossover of the E12X-SUB enables connection in parallel with an E8 loudspeaker driven by an appropriately configured single d&b amplifier channel, giving the same functionality of the larger E15X-SUB with E12 or E12D. The E12X-SUB will completely replace the current E12-SUB and also provide low frequency extension in smaller systems using both the E0 and E3 loudspeakers.
The E12X-SUB cabinet comes with a handle, an M20 threaded flange to accept loudspeaker stands, four rubber feet to prevent cabinet movement, protect the bottom panel and which locate into correspondingly shaped recesses in the top of another subwoofer to prevent movement when stacked.
Firmware and software updates including this subwoofer are available for download under the relevant sections within Support/Downloads at www.dbaudio.com. These provide configurations for all current d&b amplifiers and the latest version of R1 Remote control software.
