Genelec Inc. is showing the powerful HTS6 Active Subwoofer as part of its acclaimed line of Custom Installation products. The HTS6 is suitable for use with any of Genelec’s tri-amplified active loudspeaker systems.

Designed for large-scale installations in either stereo or surround, the HTS6 features four 12" drivers, a frequency response of 19 Hz to 120 Hz, and fast-acting, low distortion amplifiers. It can achieve a maximum ≥129 dB SPL. In addition, all electronics are integrated into the HTS6 subwoofer cabinet, including active filters, driver overload protection circuits and power amplifiers.

The HTS6 has a Signal Sensing Auto-On/Off Circuit and 12 Volt trigger, plus level and phase controls. This ensures coherent matching between the HTS6 and the main speakers, regardless of their physical position in the room. In addition, the HTS6 includes XLR and RCA line level input connectors (with input sensitivity) for easy connection to all types of popular decoders, as well as a Link Out connector which allows coupling of two or more subwoofers together when even higher sound pressure levels are required.

The four drivers used in the HTS6 are 12" diameter
long-throw types, while the amplifier can deliver up to 1 kilowatt RMS of short-term power with minimal THD and intermodulation distortion. The amplifier also features power-on muting and driver overload protection. The powerful HTS6 Active Subwoofer measures 20-5/8" H x 56-11/16" W x 22" D and weighs 265 lbs.
