Titan 12 Active - 12" active subwoofer for Home & Pro use

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY OF Titan 12 Active

Titan 12 Active is our unique 12" active subwoofer. In terms of sound, it follows our basic philosophy: FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION. The goal we set and achieved was to present an uncompromisingly powerful, linear and clean sound. We pay special attention to the enclosure as it is a vital part of the sound. As in most of our loudspeakers we rely on Oval shaped enclosure: The oval shape is perfect for loudspeaker enclosures. It eliminates any standing waves and resonances. Innovative Individual Mold Technology used. Four layers especially chosen material makes the enclosure sturdy and resonance free.

 The shape of the enclosure plays a vital role in loudspeaker performance. The movement of the speaker membrane causes a very complex mixture of sound waves in terms of frequency, amplitude, phase etc. If the shape is rectangular with parallel walls, at certain frequencies two bad things may happen: firstly, the walls will start to vibrate due to interference and will act as additional speakers, but without any control. So the general sound will be an unpredictable mixture of the sound coming from the speakers and from the enclosure’s walls. Second, standing waves will occur inside the cabinet, which will increase enormously certain frequencies and will decrease others. Fortunately, there is a shape which prevents both of these phenomena. That shape is oval.
