PRODUCT OVERVIEW

JL Audio Fathom v2 subwoofers combine a state-of-the-art
JL Audio subwoofer driver and electronics/amplifier package within
a highly optimized enclosure to deliver an exceptional listening
experience in your home theater or home audio system.
The subwoofer driver in your Fathom v2 subwoofer system is capable of
outstanding linear excursion without distress or audible distortion. This
reference-quality driver enables your Fathom v2 to reproduce powerful
low-frequency events with stunning impact and unprecedented accuracy.
Derived from JL Audio's legendary W7 design platform, the Fathom v2
drivers offer prodigious peak-to-peak excursion capabilities to comfortably
handle the dynamics of the most demanding program material.
To get the most from this long excursion driver platform, a tremendous
amount of controlled power is needed. Our electronics engineering team
conducted an intense analysis of typical program material and its dynamic
demands in order to balance current draw and actual output power requirements
relative to the system's impedance characteristics. After careful study, precisely
engineered switching amplifiers employing patented feedback technology were
created to take full advantage of each driver's full excursion envelope. Compared
to their predecessors, Fathom v2's have been improved with all new digital
signal processing and a 20% increase in amplifier power, further enhancing their
outstanding dynamic capabilities.
The beautiful cabinet enclosing the workings of your Fathom v2 is also the
result of careful engineering. To contain the pressures created by the Fathom v2
driver, we utilized solid, CNC-cut, MDF material with extensive internal bracing
features and advanced assembly techniques.
Your listening room is the other enclosure that affects the way your bass will
sound. All rooms create a specific sonic signature, which must be effectively
managed to achieve well-balanced low frequency performance. To help properly
integrate your subwoofers with your room's acoustics, all Fathom v2 subwoofers
employ a powerful, Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system.
This system deploys eighteen bands of digital equalization to tame room
acoustics and deliver spine-tingling sub-bass accuracy.
As you can see from this brief introduction, Fathom v2 subwoofer systems
employ many advanced technologies. The contents of this manual will explain the
features, guide you through the setup and tuning of your Fathom v2 subwoofer and
help you achieve your ultimate low-frequency listening experience.
If you require assistance, we urge you to contact your authorized JL Audio
retailer for expert setup advice and service.
IMPORTANT! IT IS A VERY GOOD IDEA TO READ THE NEXT SECTION BEFORE
UNPACKING YOUR FATHOM v2. UNPACKING THE SUBWOOFER NEAR ITS FINAL
LOCATION IS RECOMMENDED.
