Audiomobile has long been recognized as a name synonymous with innovative, cutting-edge, mobile audio products. There can be no question
that certain technologies have been recognized as just being "better," including supercharged motors, turbo-jet engines, and dual-clutch
transmissions, just to name a few. It has been said that “technology” can be defined simply as: “Higher performance, in a smaller package."
Without a doubt, this is true of modern mobile devices, from the iPod, to the "smart-phone" revolution; these stand as clear testament to the
accuracy of the definition. It has also been said that, when it comes to motors; "There is no replacement for displacement." We concur.
Regardless of what type of motor it is, the fundamentals of physics remain constant; move more air, and you get higher output, either horsepower or SPL. However, we would submit that "supercharging" is clearly the best way to boost instantaneous motor force (torque), no matter
what kind of motor you are talking about, electro-magnetic, or internal- combustion.
Technology
Adding a subwoofer is the single, most significant improvement you can make to any audio system. Not
only do you get the benefit of the subwoofer's superior bass performance, but with proper bi-amp
system design, you also relieve the main speakers from being overdriven, thus providing much higher
dynamic range, allowing the rest of the speakers to sound louder and cleaner, free from the distortions
that plague typical, overtaxed, full-range systems. Our proprietary motor designs feature extensive use
of numerous, established technologies, including 3-D, Computer-Aided Design, super-powerful,
rare-earth, neodymium magnets, which deliver over 10 times the magnetic torque of conventional
magnets, as well as other well established home audio and Prosound technologies, including huge, 3”
and 4” flat-wire voice coils, long-gap ("underhung") designs, and exotic, light-weight, alloy cones. All of
which contribute to superlative audio reproduction with higher output, and reduced distortion. These
kinds of advanced transducer technologies are also found in some of the super-premium home audio
loudspeakers, costing upwards of $50,000 or more, per pair. The bottom line is, with the highest
average linear-excursion ("Xmax") available – precisely how far the cone/voicecoil can move before
audible distortion – Audiomobile drivers simply displace more air, and do so more accurately, with
a significantly smaller form-factor, than any other brand available today.
Pedigree
Traditionally, Audiomobile products have always sought to "push the envelope" of performance, and
each of these new series of drivers continues this tradition – both in terms of introducing new, advanced
technologies, delivering greater displacement capability with smaller form-factor. Our goal remains the
same: to deliver audiophile quality, low-frequency reproduction in the smallest possible space. We are
confident that these next-generation products, which took over 5-years to develop, meet or exceed
those expectations. Finally, true, audiophile sub-bass performance, with reduced, real-world space
requirements, can be realized.
The 2000 series of Mass subwoofers clearly represented a quantum leap in composite sound quality and
long-excursion – in fact, the first series of car audio drivers to reach the the 1-inch (25 mm) “Xmax”
threshold, and thus have developed a near cult-status among many car audio enthusiasts. Given the
products’ superb performance and very modest optimum enclosure requirements, this was not surprising. The subsequent Evo and Evo-R series have also received huge critical acclaim, both from both
audio press and consumers, which the numerous testimonials and car audio magazine test report rave
reviews will attest to. We invite you to see and hear what makes Audiomobile products special and
encourage you to learn more about how our solutions-based products can deliver an experience that
you will find both vivid, compelling and absorbing, in a way that may potentially result in your vehicle
actually becoming your preferred venue for listening to your 'fav' tracks and playlists. Enjoy.
High Definition Low-Bass
Audiomobile is committed to creating products that will deliver a superb and unparalleled low-frequency
experience, one that can be integrated into your vehicle – which will delight drivers and passengers
alike, regardless of their musical preferences. Subwoofer systems are the key component in what
creates the real drama in music, and as such, have made a huge impact on the home theater
experience. Subwoofers are such an integral part of that realm that Dolby Labs 5.1 and 7.1 surround
sound systems are designated to highlight this; the “point 1” is the subwoofer. So while most modern
vehicles have become increasingly complex and dense, but the fact is that no matter how "good" factory
vehicles systems may seem to be, they simply cannot deliver the same caliber low-frequency
experience that a quality designed, installed, and properly tuned aftermarket subwoofer system can.
Mass HD Series Featuring a quantum leap in performance, the
Mass HD was specifically engineered to deliver world-class performance,
in real-world enclosure applications. Based on the unique and highly
regarded “Mass” motor platform, the "HD" adds numerous significant
improvements, including a 50 percent longer magnetic gap, a massive 6"
neodymium motor, longer, flat-wire voice coil, CCAM ceramic alloy cone,
as well as our patented, “Monoblock” modular frame/motor assembly, plus
a larger, redesigned suspension, necessary to exploit the full potential of
the Mass motor. The net result of these improvements delivers a dramatic
increase in the performance envelope, both in terms of power-handling as
well as Xmax (now over 32 mm). Never before has there been a driver
with this level of performance, while demanding no more enclosure depth
than a typical driver. Finally, true, audiophile performance, and real-world,
practical enclosure requirements are no longer mutually exclusive terms.
Exact Series The 'big brother' of the original Evo, the Exact
offers a significantly larger motor structure and twice the magnetic
gap, in fact, 30% longer than similar models. It also features a larger,
2.5" voice coil motor, featuring a double STACT 6.5” magnet structure,
and our patent-pending “Intercooler,” plus a massive 3” alloy
flux-stabilization ring, similar to featues found in our Evo-RS series.
This unusual, high-end type feature, both lowers inductance and
improves transient performance, sound-quality, and also serves to
transfer heat away from the motor, thus increasing power-handling and
retarding power compression. These types of advanced technologies
are only found in premium home audio drivers, and are virtually
unheard of in car audio drivers.
“The Audiomobile MASS is the BEST 12-inch subwoofer at any price that I’ve reviewed. In fact, it could even be the best
12-incher currently on the market.” “…the longest excursion of any 12-inch sub I’ve ever tested.” – Car Stereo Review
Elite Series Designed specifically for either sealed-box or
Mass SL Series The next generation of the Mass series, the first
car audio subwoofer to break the 25 mm linear Xmax threshold. The Mass
SL includes several improvements to further push the envelope of
performance. The totally retooled motor features a 50% larger magnet
structure, and now features twin 7.5” diameter magnets, as well as the new,
proprietary Aluminum Intercooler. Key features of the original Mass 2000
series are all retained, including the superb, low-distortion “underhung”
motor, as well as the unique, full-length copper flux-stabilization ring, to
retard distortion and inductance, as well as minimize thermal build-up and
the effects of power compression. The net result of all of these significant
improvements is to increase both the performance envelope of the Mass
SL, with the added bonus of reduced mounting depth. The new Mass
continues to deliver a level of performance, in terms of sound-quality,
linearity and mounting depth, that very few drivers in the world can match,
regardless of price.
Infinite-baffle (“free-air”) applications, the Elite series includes many
upscale features typically found only on far more expensive
subwoofers. Sharing the same low-profile SLX cast-alloy frame as our
Evo and Exact series, thus permitting the Elite to maintain a low-profile
depth and reduced enclosure footprint. The Elite series is ideally
suited for medium power applications between 400 – 500 watts RMS.
The unique feature of the Elite series is its exclusive, Intercooled
Convection Aluminum Radiator (“I-CAR”). This patent-pending
feature, delivers cool air to the motor, for reduced power-compression,
as well as also serving as an integrated heatsink, to directly transfer
heat away from the voice coil and the top-plate. In addition, it also
provides the added benefit of lowering inductance, similar in function
as key feature found in the Exact and Evo-RS series – a very advanced
feature typically only found in some of the most elite home audio
transducers.
“…the limits of this sub are beyond the limits of other subs……120 dB or better at any frequency between 10 and 50 Hz…”
“… in a 1-cubic-foot enclosure…” “WOW! ” – Car Stereo Review
Evo-RS Series The Evo-RS represents the next-gen evolution of
the Evo 'type R' series, and represents the ultimate development of
long-coil, conventional, subwoofer technology – the standard architecture
of virtually all other subwoofers on the market. Building on the stellar
performance of the Evo-R series – the loudest subwoofer ever tested by
Car Stereo Review or Mobile Entertainment (132.7 dB), the new Evo-RS
sets new standards in extreme high output, yet only requires modest
enclosures. The Evo-RS features our patented, “Monoblock” modular
frame motor, a 30% longer magnetic gap, a larger, triple STACT motor, an
exotic CCAM composite alloy cone, a new 8-layer flat-wire voice coil, as
well as a massive 3.5" Aluminum flux-stabilization sleeve, for reduced
inductance and extreme, low-distortion SPL output.
“The Audiomobile EVO-R subwoofer really does kicks some major displacement ass.”
“Audiomobile’s EVO-R 15-inch subwoofer is simply wonderful.” – Mobile Entertainment
GTS Series Specifically engineered to handle the two most
significant issues, mounting-depth and power-handling, in car audio’s
increasingly challenging install applications, the new “GTS” Series
offers class-leading power-handling, up to 400 watts RMS, with very
long-excursion, in a compact, low-profile design. Featuring a full-size,
2-inch voice coil motor (over 50% larger vs. other comparable
products) and a large, 50 oz. magnet structure, the GTS 2110 requires
just 4.4" of mounting depth, yet can deliver up to 1-inch of peak linear
excursion the same as the highly regarded Elite cast-frame series.
This rare combination of long-excursion, power-handling and slim
depth, makes the GTS one of the best “bang-for-the-buck” subwoofers
on the market.
Featuring a precision-formed, custom-tooled steel frame, low-carbon,
forged steel parts, and our unique, “CLS” (Composite Laminated
Sandwich) cone, combined with heavy-duty suspension components,
including a large, 8” flat-spider, the GTS offers superior, class-leading
performance in the slim-line subwoofer realm.
