Introducing our new custom range of subwoofers
There are many benefits to a custom subwoofer product. For those concerned with spouse acceptance factor, often a subwoofer is best felt and heard but not seen. For others, a subwoofer should match the interior of your home. Either way, our CI series products are the ideal choice. Have it built by a local trusted furniture maker, or if you are handy, you may choose to built it yourself.
Our DS1200 subwoofers feature the same components as our F12 subwoofers. This subwoofer features our high end DS1200 sub driver which is available in silver or black anodized aluminum. Also featured is a subwoofer plate amplifier of your choice from our range.
Which subwoofer is right for you?
This subwoofer is best used with a crossover below 90 Hz. If you require a higher crossover point, we recommend you consider our GR ci subwoofers.

Your choice of enclosure
Direct Servo technology can be applied to any enclosure type - it is not limited to sealed boxes. If you would like to use an enclosure other than sealed or vented, we can design a custom servo board to ensure you receive all the benefits the technology allows. Contact us if you would like to create something different.
Subwoofers for audiophiles
For audiophiles looking for uncompromising accuracy, our subwoofers are the ultimate choice. They features our Direct Servo technology to ensure accuracy and definition. We don't merely design low distortion subwoofers. We are concerned with eliminating the problems which most degrade the accuracy of a subwoofer. Problems like memory effects which are clearly audible are dramatically reduced. Perhaps you already own a subwoofer but have been disappointed to discover that it added more than extra depth. Or perhaps you have avoided purchasing a subwoofer because you were unwilling to compromise the accuracy of your system. Rest assured that you have found a subwoofer for audiophiles.
Better technology
Nearly all subwoofers on the market are based on outdated technology. Our subwoofers are based on our patented Direct Servo technology. Not only does our technology surpass that of conventional subwoofers, it also offers significant improvement to the performance of other servo systems. In our technology section, we describe the differences between Direct Servo and other servo technologies. Our system is better suited to music reproduction than other servo systems.

Single driver CI with A370 amplifier
DS1200 comes with foam gasket installed already. This gasket is concealed under the driver outside mounting rim and enables an air tight seal to be achieved. An additional rubber gasket is available which fits around the rim. We do not provide this additional rubber gasket unless requested, because we don't recommend that you use it unless it is used for cosmetic reasons. We also have 3 amplifier options:A370PEQ3, A370XLR2, and A370XLR3. A370XLR2 has one XLR input and one XLR output. The XLR output can be either used as master slave signal transmission, or for HPF output of the XLR inputs. A370XLR3 has two XLR inputs. Both XLR models have one band defeatable PEQ, 12V trigger input, and separate limiter ON/OFF switch. We are currently out of A370PEQ3 amps. A370PEQ, A370XLR2, and A370XLR3 are available.
