Trinity Signature Subwoofer
"the most articulate and dramatically
energetic sub that I have auditioned"

There are few more challenging tasks in the sport of home theater
than selecting and setting up a subwoofer in your system. What
makes a subwoofer such a challenging selection is perhaps best
explained by its name. The operative section of the word is "sub,"
which refers to subsonic frequencies that are defined by being for
the most part inaudible. Although subwoofers also handle higher
audible frequencies, the meat and potatoes of a sub are better felt
than heard.
The Definitive Technology SuperCube Trinity Subwoofer is an
incarnation developed specifically for the Trinity Church in
New York. When Definitive Technology was approached with the
challenge of amplifying and accurately reproducing the church's
massive pipe organs, Definitive rose to the occasion. Providing a
single bi-polar tower for each organ pipe, the Trinity Sub has been
designed to become the cornerstone and low-end reinforcement
of the most challenging instrument in the world to reproduce —
the mighty pipe organ.
"the Definitive Trinity would be considered
a killer at double its price. At $3,000, this
subwoofer is a steal."
The SuperCube Trinity Subwoofer is a necessary departure
from the growing trend of miniature subwoofers designed more
to hide from your view than to provide uncompromised sub bass
performance. Although many of the mini-cubes provide a fantastic
amount of bass performance for their size, there is no arguing the
benefits achieved in larger packages — and a larger package the
Trinity is.
The Trinity sub is styled in typical Definitive Technology fashion,
with its black fabric covering and your choice of superbly finished
piano black or cherry top cap. Measuring 18 inches by 18 inches

and a remarkable 31-and-three-quarters inches tall, this sub
does anything but hide in a corner. With a mass weight of
175 pounds, this sub begs to be positioned and left alone.

- Page 4 Due to its sheer mass and extreme low frequencies, the Trinity Subwoofer, like all subs, performs best on a solid floor. This sub can turn your suspended wood floor into a rolling platform. To get the most out of this product, as I did, I recommend solid flooring beneath it.
