WHO IT IS FOR

Who it is for

Primary roles

  • For systems that need deeper scale and control than a conventional compact subwoofer, without moving directly to the physical size of No.31 or No.32.

ARCHITECTURE

Understand what each feature means in a complete system.

01

Connection context

Inputs: High-Level Neutrik SpeakOn, 2 × Low-Level RCA, LFE RCA, LFE XLR. Outputs: High-Level Neutrik SpeakOn, Low-Level RCA, LFE RCA or LFE XLR. Wireless: Compatible with optional Airship Direct. Connection guidance: Confirm amplifier topology before High-Level connection, especially for Class D, balanced, bridged or monoblock amplification.

02

Installation and integration

Maintain clearance for the down-firing passive radiator and ventilation. Use only matched Carbon Special Black Label units and official hardware in a professionally designed Line Array. Measure and tune phase, crossover and level after final placement.

SYSTEM / ROOM MATCHING

Will it fit the system you already own?

We consider connections, room context, installation and your listening priorities together before suggesting a configuration.

What to check for your system

  • High-performance two-channel systems using High-Level or Low-Level input.
  • Dual-use music and cinema systems with independent LFE input.
  • Professionally designed stereo-pair or matched-model Line Array systems.

What to keep in mind

  • -6 dB at 19 Hz is not a measured room response or guarantee of listening-seat performance.
  • Line Array capability is not evidence that every room needs three units. The 19 Hz figure is a manufacturer -6 dB specification, not measured room performance.
  • Local grille inclusion and finish availability require Australian distributor confirmation.
