Martin Logan Subwoofer-BalancedForce 212

Ultimate Subwoofer Performance

 

BalancedForce™ subwoofers are the realization of years of engineering by the MartinLogan team combined with the latest innovations in advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP), amplification, electrical system designs and room correction (PBK). They are specifically designed to blend with Electrostats without diminishing the wondeful electrostatic snap and midrange clarity. A true no-compromise subwoofer – regardless of application. The most important ahievement in the all-new BalancedForce 212 is driver configuration (yes, that’s where we derived the name!). Two identical 12-inch drivers – high-performance, high-excursion aluminum-cone woofers – are mounted at a “balanced” 180 degrees apart from each other in the cabinet. As a result, their reaction force vectors exactly cancel, virtually eliminating cabinet resonance and vibration. Gone with them are the cabinet-radiation coloration and bass blur that afflict even the best conventional subwoofers.

 

A New Level of Flexibility to System Integration

 

BalancedForce 212’s advanced electrical control system brings new levels of flexibility to system integration, allowing listeners to install speaker-specific custom low-pass filters to assure a perfect  match with MartinLogan speakers. Installation is simple - download a custom filter (FREE from MartinLogan.com) and save it on a USB thumb drive. Insert the drive in the subwoofer’s USB input, and the DSP takes care of the rest! Not using MartinLogan speakers? No problem. BalancedForce 212’s robost control system allows the user to dial in the low-pass frequency, phase, and level to match the user’s unique requirements.
