DESCRIPTION
• Extraordinary impact
• High efficiency
•
Extended response
The KF940 is a horn loaded subwoofer that provides output
levels, frequency response extension, and efficiency completly
out of proprotion to its size. Widely known as the SuperSub™,
The KF940 is engineerd to be used in arrays of four or more to
produce extremely high output sub bass response to the very
bottom of the audible spectrum.
To provide the 13-foot horn length needed for the desired
enclosure size, EAW Engineers used advaced, bent rather than
folded horn technology. Folding creates sharp corners that do not
allow the expanding sound wave front to maneuver well above
certain frequencies. This reduces output and increases distortion
through air turbulence. Bending instead of folding allows all
frequencies to easily pass without interference. This minimizes
size without minimizing sound quality and output. The two 12-in
drivers are specially designed to endure the extreme conditions
the SuperSub imposes.
For portability, the KF940 includes balance-optimized handles
and a heavy duty, caster pallet that bolts to its rear.
The KF940 is appropriate for any application requiring extremely
high output levels of sub bass information. Relatively small
SuperSub™ arrays have successfully filled the largest stadiums
and arenas with high impact, sub bass information. Applications
include stadiums concert tours, nightclubs, raves, dance clubs,
houses of worship, corporate A/V, and theatres.
The KF940 is designed to be used with today's sophisticated
digital signal processing to optimize the LF response. EAW's MX
Series processors are recommended for the required crossover
and equalization. Six Year Warranty.
