The subwoofer includes a 2.4-inch LCD color touchscreen and iOS/Android app control for up to 8 subwoofers, with a 10-band parametric EQ and configurable auto turn-on and 12V trigger. Certified by THX Dominus, it provides a frequency response from 15Hz to 231Hz (-6dB) depending on EQ mode, with a reference sensitivity of 92dB at 1 meter.
