Earthquake Supernova MKVI Subwoofer
I’m eagerly awaiting the launch of the rotary subwoofer, but until this spiffy device gets commercialized (hopefully any time soon), we can go ahead and try what’s available. Like this boxy thing right here…It may look like an average subwoofer with its simple box shape, but the Supernova MKVI from Earthquake Sound is more than meets the eye.
All Earthquake Sound devices are hand-made in the US, so you know we are talking about nothing but high quality. The MKVI subwoofer peaks at 1200 watt dynamic and 600 watt RMS, integrating a Class D switching amplifier together with a new room correction system for balancing the sound. Other speaker manufacturers are most of the times equalizing sound by adjusting the volume, but the new Earthquake subwoofer thoroughly considers time reflections and refractions.
What does time have to do with this? Timing is an important aspect for subwoofers, and with the MKVI you can adjust group delay, phase and time delay, and you also get a remote control so you can easily tweak these aspects without stumbling all over the subwoofer. Earthquake also implemented their proprietary SLAPS technology which stands for “symmetrically loaded passive radiator”. This technology makes use of a very slim speaker cone that lets the enclosure be compact while the bass retains power and clarity.
The MKVI is already available and comes in two sizes and two finishes. There’s the 12-inch version priced at $2,899 for the Black lacquer piano finish or $2,399 for the black ash wood veneer finish. The larger 15-inch version priced at $3,399 for the piano finish or $2,899 for the black ash finish.
