The new model has a sturdy MDF cabinet designed to resist vibration and resonance, with a front bass-reflex port. A key feature is ADAM Control network integration, which allows remote adjustment of every subwoofer parameter over Ethernet. The built-in DSP also supports Sonarworks SoundID Reference calibration filters. Users can measure their room with a measurement microphone and load the correction profile directly into the subwoofer's DSP.
