The VTF-TN1 is Hsu Research's flagship subwoofer, replacing the VTF-15H MK2 with improved deep bass performance, lower port noise, and a smaller footprint at a reduced price. It features a 15-inch high-excursion front-firing driver, two down-firing 4-inch diameter ports for hybrid tuning (15 Hz ported with 1 port open, 20 Hz with 2 ports open, or sealed), and a powerful 600W RMS (2000W peak) Class AB amplifier. Praised by Audioholics as 2024 Product of the Year for its infrasonic extension, low distortion, punchy mid-bass, and value, it excels in both movies and music. Balanced XLR inputs ensure noise-free performance in high-end setups. Warranty: 5 years on electronics, 7 years on woofer.
