IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BASS WITH ALTO PROFESSIONAL’S NEW TX212S POWERED SUBWOOFER
TX212S powered subwoofer delivers powerful bass reinforcement for the best-selling Alto Professional TX2 family of full- range commercial loudspeakers.
Ash Vale, UK (October 1, 2019)—Alto Professional, the world’s leading innovator for live performance sound reinforcement products, today announced the introduction of its TX212S powered subwoofer. This new subwoofer extends the bass response of Alto Professional’s highly-successful line of TX2 full-range speakers, resulting in systems with outstanding wide-range response, notable for their extended, impactful low frequencies and detailed, transparent midrange and highs.
By extending the bass response of virtually any full-range speaker, using the TX212S in a sound system relieves the companion full-range speaker of the difficult task of having to reproduce the low bass frequencies—something a full-range speaker is not optimised to do. The TX212S handles the difficult bass with authority and confidence, so the other speakers only have to deal with the upper frequencies. When using this new subwoofer, the listening audience will hear everything with perfect clarity, from the lowest bass synth tones to the highest percussion bells and everything in between.
The TX212S features a rugged, long-excursion woofer mounted in a bandpass enclosure, computer-optimised for powerful low-frequency performance. The enclosure itself is made from a dense wood composite. This strong, resonant-free material has virtually perfect acoustic characteristics, which ensures that the subwoofer’s output is always clear and impactful. Conventional enclosures that have thin metal or plastic walls actually rob the speaker of acoustic impact by dissipating the driver’s energy as cabinet vibration. A sturdy, braced wood composite enclosure doesn’t waste the driver’s motion as cabinet resonance. This enclosure greatly enhances the TX212S’s bass impact and sets it apart from ordinary subwoofers in its class.
Strong, clear output is only half the battle, however. In order for a subwoofer to be part of an ideal speaker system, it has to blend seamlessly with the companion speaker. Here, the Alto Professional TX212S subwoofer excels like none other. It offers a choice of six selectable DSP output modes, so the subwoofer’s frequency response and crossover frequency are perfectly matched to the speaker it’s being used with. Four of these six output options match the subwoofer perfectly with Alto TX and TX2 full-range speakers, while the other two output options (Hi-Pass or Bypass mode) ensure a perfect match even with non-Alto full-range speakers.
Alto Professional’s computer design techniques feature advancements such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), which enables them to optimise the speaker’s magnetic structure and maintain a tight voice coil gap for maximum sensitivity. Alto’s voice coils themselves have extremely tight windings that ensure maximum utilisation of the input signal and the adhesives exhibit unrivalled consistency and durability under high temperature conditions for unsurpassed system reliability. The TX212S has an on-board 900-watt amplifier (450 watts continuous) with proprietary limiting circuitry that provides electronic clip, thermal and transducer overload protection, ensuring that the system always sounds clean and clear, no matter how hard it’s pushed.
