Criterion TALW 150 A

The TALW 150 A is a large, active sub-woofer based on a pair of 260 mm bass drivers, each with a carbon fibre cone mounted in a rigid, pressure cast magnesium cradle. The large cabinet is extensively braced internally, and features a phase compensation opening and absorber. A new high-power active unit is fitted, rated at 120 Watts, which produces a peak current of 15 Amps. Active deep bass regulation, variable limit frequency, level control, and an automatic protective circuit make it easy to set up the speaker to suit any combination of existing loudspeakers.
