The CMS SUB by Focal is an active subwoofer designed to extend the frequency response of the
CMS studio monitors. Its very high efficiency and dynamic capabilities guarantee a perfect integration with the CMS50 & 65 monitors. The CMS SUB offers tight and controlled bass, capable of reproducing every nuance and detail. Thanks to the large front laminar port, the CMS SUB ensures a perfect reproduction regardless of the listening level, facilitating its integration into even the smallest recording studios.
Features :
• 11" Polyglass® cone woofer
The 11" Polyglass® cone woofer used in the CMS SUB is both very light and extremely rigid for a neutral and distortion-free response.
• Custom-built amplification
BASH® technology was selected by Focal's team of engineers for the output stage of the CMS SUB amplifier (300 W rms). After extensive listening sessions, this hybrid design was chosen for its sound quality combined with high efficiency. The rest of the amplifier (power supply, etc) is custom built and fine-tuned especially for the CMS SUB.
• Extensive connectivity
The CMS SUB features stereo inputs and outputs to facilitate the connection of a pair of CMS monitors. A dedicated LFE input allows the use of the CMS SUB in a multichannel system. The subwoofer's LO PASS settings have been optimised for an optimal integration with the CMS50 & 65 permitting a quick and easy setup. Phase inversion, phase adjustment and a mute switch can be remotely controlled by a standard foot pedal.
• Front-ported 7/8" MDF cabinet
The very high SPL of the CMS SUB (113dB) can generate enormous internal pressure within the cabinet. To maximize rigidity and to eliminate cabinet resonance, the MDF used in its construction is almost one inch thick (22mm). The CMS SUB is equipped with a large front laminar port to facilitate its positioning in smaller studios or near a back wall.
