  • Three models: 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch
  • 300W, 500W and 650W respectively
  • From £599 / $803 / AU$1,229

Elipson has launched three active subwoofers in sizes from 8 to 15 inches. The Premium SUB 10, 12 and 15 are designed to partner with the recently launched Prestige Facet II loudspeakers, but of course they're suitable for any system.

All three models are designed with an internal acoustic guide inside the front-firing bass reflex port, which regulates the airflow generated by the speaker cone's movement.

An internal baffle extends the internal acoustic path and, according to Elipson, ensures smooth, laminar air velocity resulting in dramatically reduced turbulence and acoustic compression, which are often the cause of unwanted port noise and distortion.

Elipson Premium SUB 10, 12 and 15: key features and pricing

All three models share the same design and feature line in L/R inputs and low-level Line Out outputs. Sizes range from 360 × 395 × 442mm for the Premium SUB 10 to 465 × 552 × 534mm for the Premium SUB 15.

The smallest model here, the Premium SUB 10, features a 250mm fiberglass cone and a 300W Class D amplifier. It has a frequency response of 27Hz – 200Hz and weighs 18kg.

Next up there's the 27kg Premium SUB 12. That has a 300mm cone and a whopping 500W Class D amplifier. It goes even lower than the SUB 10, with a frequency response of 22Hz – 200Hz.

And the flagship Premium SUB 15 has a 380mm driver and a 650W Class D amplifier, enabling it to fill even the largest spaces. Its frequency response is from 19Hz to 200Hz and it weighs 41kg.

All three subwoofers are available now, priced at £599 / £799 / £1299 respectively. That's roughly $803 / $1,071 / $1,741, and for Australia, that works out at AU$1,229 / $1,639 / $2,665.
