Sub 12D Design Features
The Sub 12D is designed and assembled in the USA.
Electronics
The Sub 12D features both XLR Analog inputs and AES/ EBU Digital inputs. The Sub 12D will
automatically switch to Digital if both Analog and Digital inputs are connected. In addition, Digital
pass thru and Digital Stereo L/R selector switches are provided.
The DSP crossover filters are derived using Blue Sky proprietary BOO optimization software. This
includes system time alignment.
The Digital circuitry features FR4 6-layer circuit boards, Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24 Bit A/D & 192
kHz/24 D/A, and Cirrus Logic Digital receiver and sample rate convertor. In addition, the Sub 12D
has a "Pure-Digital" mode for 48 kHz and 96 kHz operation, where the native input from the
AES/EBU receiver is sent straight to the DAC, and does not go through the sample rate
convertor.
The Sub 12 D includes Digital 2.1 Bass Management. In addition, variable crossover frequency
adjustments, and high pass and low pass filters.
The Sub 12D has a USB data port for speakers settings, updates and room correction input
which includes a digital graphic equalizer, selectable parametric EQ, pink noise generator,
adjustable time delay and gain control.
The Sub 12D has 400-watts of amplifier power.
The electronics are designed and assembled in the USA.
Transducers
The Sub 12D has a custom designed and built 12" cast frame woofer with a very long and linear
x-max.
