Сабвуферы — Canton Power Sub 12 S2

The Power Sub 12 S2 is the 12-inch entry in the S2 generation of Power Sub models that Canton developed to accompany its updated GLE S2 loudspeaker series, ranked above the Power Sub 10 S2 and Power Sub 8 S2. Canton pitches it as a low-frequency addition to stereo or home cinema setups. The German price is EUR 999 per unit, and the cabinet is offered with a matt decor surface in black or in white, closed by a magnet-mounted cloth cover.

Key specs that matter

Its forward-firing woofer has a diameter of 308 mm and a cone of black aluminium titanium on a wave surround. A passive radiator of equal size faces the floor. The amplifier stage is rated 200 W nominal against a 380 W music figure. Frequency coverage extends from 20 Hz to 200 Hz, while the upper cut-off can be dialled in from 50 Hz to 200 Hz. The enclosure is 36 cm across, 47.5 cm tall and 50 cm deep, and the unit weighs 24 kg. Consumption while waiting in standby is 0.32 W.

Engineering and use context

Relative to the first Power Sub 12, the S2 swaps the titanium driver for the aluminium titanium type and keeps the same bass reflex principle with a downfiring passive cone in place of a tuned port. Canton pairs the amplifier with its SC technology, which is intended to keep impulses free of clipping distortion and provides protection against overload. An integrated room compensation function in three stages lets the owner adjust the bass output for the chosen spot. Digital signal processing, a double cone design and the Bass Guide system are listed among the features. Controls cover level, phase and crossover, and the sub turns itself on and off according to the incoming signal. The feet can be adjusted in height and are prepared for spikes or absorbers, which is useful on uneven or carpeted floors. Canton covers active models such as this with a two-year warranty. The shipping carton measures 62 x 57 x 49.5 cm and weighs 29.1 kg in total.

Pairing

Connection options are two line-level cinch inputs plus a line-level output, which fit processors and receivers with a subwoofer pre-out. Two speaker-level inputs with banana-compatible terminals cover amplifiers that offer only speaker outputs. Delivery includes the cloth cover, power lead and manual. Canton highlights the GLE S2 speakers as the intended partners.

Alternatives

The Canton Power Sub 10 S2 is a smaller model in the same generation with a 257 mm driver and 330 W music power.
