2. ABOUT THE CERWIN-VEGA! TS-42 FOLDED HORN
Cerwin-Vega!, the industry leader in live bass and subwoofer innovations for over 50 years, is proud to introduce
the new TS-42 Folded Horn. Featuring a massive 21 woofer with advanced Stroker™ technology and delivering
144 dB (max) of acoustic SPL output, the TS-42 sets a new standard for extended low frequency performance.
In fact, the TS-42’s sound has been described as a “velvet covered wall-of-bass.”
The TS-42 Folded Horn delivers more bass per square inch than other subwoofer designs and offers
incomparable performance. It includes a curved horn mouth bracing for smoother frequency response, a striking
cast aluminum C-Series door that acts as a functional heat sink, and extra deep pole cups for increased stability
with full-range speakers.
The TS-42 is a large and powerful speaker. However, portability is not a problem due to its ergonomic design.
Integrated wheels and extra handles allow you to easily maneuver and transport the TS-42.
With its outstanding design and remarkable features, the TS-42 is the best-in-class bass speaker for demanding
applications.
Main Features:
Newly designed 21” woofer with Stroker™ technology for increased output and reduced distortion
Improved power handling to 1000 w (RMS), 2000 w (Peak)
Radial cooling fins located outside the aluminum Stroker™ pole, increase cooling and improve the
TS-42’s efficiency

Rugged new die cast door provides improved heat dissipation & displays Stroker™ metal badge
New curved horn mouth bracing for smoother frequency response
