MPS-150

Back |
The MPS 150 powered subwoofer
is the perfect companion
for our Nucleus Micro,
A'Diva
and Dué
loudspeakers. The unique
two piece design allows
the amplifier and subwoofer
sections to be positioned
together, or located separately
- allowing them to be placed
with the rest of your equipment,
or hidden away if preferred.
With the MPS 150 even explosions have texture. Since
we expect you to use your MPS 150 for music as well
as for home cinema, we used the highest quality woofer
we could find. In fact, we had this one jointly developed
with Peerless of Denmark to work synergistically with
our patented S2 technology. The result is a subwoofer that slams
out tight, coherent, precise BASS - without ever being
over-powering.
There are several ways to measure power ratings and
this is the most conservative one. Our 150 Watt rating
is for continuous RMS. This means a continuous output,
all day long, of 150 Watts. It has a big heavy power
supply and very high parts quality. If we were to measure
peak RMS, our amp would easily pass for a 300 Watt amplifier.
In fact, most companies use the peak rating and that
is how they label their amps. We choose to be honest,
even conservative.
Better parts will deliver a better cinema
experience
 The
woofer, or piston driver / cone, is the heart of any
speaker design. Still, most manufacturers, especially
at mass market system costs (£1,500 and under),
use the least cost driver approach. They spend as little
as they can. Most manufacturers do not pay much attention
to detail or articulation in their subwoofers. They
design their subs to be sound effects generators. It
is for this reason that most sound terrible when you
try to listen to music. They may hide their deficiencies
if all they have to do is go boom, crash, bang - just
don't ask them to make that bass drum sound tight or
a jazz trio sound lifelike.
We believe that even explosions have texture. A better sounding speaker
will give you better sounding effects. Why should we not be able to hear
all the detail and not just some muddy, boomy, boxy sounding crash. Since
we expect you to be able to use our sub for music and not just cinema sound
effects, we use the highest quality woofer
we could find. In fact, we had this one developed to work synergistically
with our patented S2 technology. To call it heavy duty is an understatement.
Weighing in at a hefty 15 pounds you are not likely to find one anywhere
near this parts quality in a subwoofer costing less than one thousand dollars.
Running two subs is easy! Plus: No power
cord, how can this be?
Flexibility is not something normally associated with
subwoofers. Typically you try your best to hide the
ugly thing in a corner or under a plant and sacrifice
getting at the controls or finding the optimal room
positioning. The MPS 150 allows you to remove the amplifier
module and place it with the rest of your equipment
while having to hide only a very small woofer housing.
Our sub can be made small enough to actually fit under
a couch or other pieces of furniture. It can do this
while still having the output normally associated with
subwoofers many times this size. More importantly, only
the audio signal via a single wire needs to get to the
sub. No power cord is involved and thus you are not
limited by outlet location for your positioning!
Even though bass is omni-directional and subwoofers
can be placed almost anywhere, that does not mean you
are getting optimal performance. In reality, any position
you choose will have some drawbacks, either in decor
compromise or sonically. The best way to remove the
decor compromise is to use a beautiful product. The
best way to eliminate sonic compromise is to use two
subs. Two subs gives you the ability to eliminate standing
waves and other sonic problems while dramatically increasing
bass output. We made it easy for you, and less expensive.
Why purchase two subs when you can run two bass modules
with one amplifier?
