Origin Acoustics goes Deep with new Collection of Subwoofers

CEDIA 2017, San Diego, CA (September 4, 2017)  – Origin Acoustics, a leader in the architectural audio industry is proud to announce its new line of freestanding subwoofers. The Deep™ subwoofer collection will feature four models that smoothly blend the performance qualities necessary for both music and cinema sound.

The single driver models will feature 8, 10 and 12-inch aluminum drivers with accompanying passive radiators. They will be driven by 300, 600 and 1,000 watts of Class D power respectively. A dual 12-inch version with two active drivers and 1,200 watts of power will round out the collection.

Onboard DSP will allow for a single band of EQ to be parametrically adjusted via a Bluetooth connected app on the phone. Adjustments will include frequency, level and bandwidth. There are four, user adjustable, presets to save the EQ curves once they have been finalized. An auto EQ function is also included in the app using the phone’s microphone to adjust for a specific listening position.

During the entire development process, the team was focused on a unique look and feel. Unlike the majority of subwoofers that reside in a non-descript black box, the Deep™ subs will have a fashionable flair. The cabinet will be completely wrapped in a woven cloth with an aluminum top and short aluminum legs to suspend the cabinet off the floor. An optional aesthetic choice will offer a slatted, wooden grille for a warmer persona in the right environment.

“In order to impress the listener, a subwoofer needs to walk a fine line,” said Mike Hopkins, Origin’s Director of Product Development. “It must be able to hit you in the chest in an action scene from a movie and still be able to reproduce the subtle harmonics in an acoustic jazz performance. The Deep™ subs excel in both situations.”

Available in Q4 of this year the Deep™ subs will range in price from $650 – $2,000. The new subwoofers will be on demonstration at CEDIA Expo, September 7-9, 2017 in San Diego, CA at the Origin Acoustics exhibit booth #5513.
