Supernova MKVI DSP
The New Standard For Power And Articulation
After a long wait, Earthquake Sound Corporation has now released the most powerful Supernova subwoofer ever made. The new Supernova MKVI DSP is a home theater monster capable of dumping over 1000 WRMS into a 2-Ohm load all day long without breaking a sweat thanks to its patented IQ technology allowing for 98% of GREEN power and a mere 2% of heat.
DSP For Total Control
Like the newer MiniMe DSP series of home theater subwoofers, the MKVI DSP has now been overhauled with a highly advanced DSP processor for unparalleled control and sound quality. Users will achieve professional-level tuning results from features like active room correction functions, 25 bands of equalization, continuous phase control, and up to 48dB/Octave crossover, all available at your fingertips. Simply sliding your finger up or down on a mobile device instantly changes the slope, or slide your finger sideways to adjust the bandwidth. As for room correction, the MKVI DSP amplifier is armed with genuine room correction functions that take reflections, refractions, arrival, and equalization all into account, making it a complete DSP solution that ensures optimum acoustic integration into any room.
SLAPS – Patented Superiority
SLAPS technology is a critical player in translating the high power of the Supernova MKVI DSP amplifier into dominating LFE. SLAPS is a patented system that dramatically boosts subwoofer efficiency and capability of ultra-low frequency reproduction. SLAPS stands for Symmetrically Loaded Audio Passive System. As the name indicates, it is built symmetrically, distinguishing it from traditional passive devices. It integrates identical components in its suspension and design, ensuring the unit moves identically in both directions. The revolutionary efficiency and performance result from the pneumatic coupling between SLAPS and the Magma-X active driver. SLAPS crushes the limitations known from conventional closed and ported designs that prevent radical excursion and deep response. The unique design permits the active driver compression-free movement resulting in deep, dynamic, chest-pounding bass response without annoying port noise. Hear the difference with Earthquake Sound’s SLAPS technology.
The Supernova MKVI DSP series epitomizes state-of-the-art subwoofer design with uncompromised performance and superior technology coupled with the world’s most refined low-frequency response. It defines a new standard in a class of its own. The selection of subwoofers today is extensive. However, if you dream of uncompromising LFE performance with superb dynamics and effectiveness combined with quick and precise articulation, the Supernova MKVI DSP is the unmistakable choice. Whether you have a high-end stereo or extensive surround sound system, the new MKVI DSP effortlessly produces the lower octaves for explosive LFE effects.
