About the Magellan VIP
The Magellan VIP su is an active subwoofer from TBI Audio Systems, equipped with a non-shielded 6.5-inch convex single piece aluminum cone driver enclosed in a sealed cabinet. It features a built-in 120-watt Class AB amplifier with high efficiency (85%) to prevent overheating, and includes both line-level and speaker-level inputs for flexible connectivity. The subwoofer offers a frequency response from 15Hz to 150Hz (-6dB), a variable crossover adjustable between 50Hz and 150Hz with a -12dB/octave slope, a subsonic filter at 10Hz, and a fixed high-pass filter at 70Hz to protect smaller main speakers from distortion. Additional controls include volume, crossover, and a two-position phase reversal switch. The enclosure is compact (37 x 37 x 14 cm) and weighs about 20 lbs, with options for brass spikes or rubber feet. The design emphasizes minimal coloration and fast transient response, making it suitable for integration with high-performance speaker systems.
