Bag Endís Home Theatre Loudspeaker System Used By Major Motion Picture Studios
Looking for an assurance of audio quality? Why not go to the pros? How about the CBS-TV Network; ABC-TV Network; Todd-AO; Paramount Pictures; Warner Brothers; Universal Studios; Soundfirm of Melbourne, Australia; or Twickenham Film Studios in London? They all have one thing in common: they all use Bag End loudspeaker systems. Audio tracks of hundreds of motion pictures have been mastered or completed in post production using the same Bag End Loudspeaker system that is now available to the knowledgeable home theatre enthusiast. The Bag End Home Theatre System includes two MM-8H Near Field Monitorô, speakers, and the INFRAsub-18ô, one of the worldís finest subwoofer systems (see Widescreen Review, Issue 27). The Bag End ELF INFRASUB-18 powered subwoofer incorporates the same ELF dual 8Hz integrator found in Bag Endís professional ELF-1 system, along with a 400-watt power amplifier and a newly designed ELF-18 drive unit. The INFRASUB-18ô provides a flat low frequency response from 100Hz to 8Hz in a very small, 3 ñcubic foot enclosure. The Bag End MM-8H speaker is an eight-inch, two-way coaxial Time-Aligned Æ loudspeaker system, housed in a handsome black suede finish cabinet, with an elegant black cloth grill. The MM-8H measures 16-inch high by 11-inch wide by 6-inch deep and weighs just 24lbs. The INFRAsub-18 measures 23.5-inch high by 21.25-inch wide and by 32.25-inch deep and weighs 92lbs. Because it is usually placed at center, floor level, the INFRAsub-18 is offered in a variety of handsome wood finishes, including stunning Birdseye Maple, elegant Black Walnut, rich Red Oak and warm Rosewood - any of which would make eye-catching additions to a room even if the cabinet didnít contain one of the highest quality powered subwoofer on the market. Suggested retail price for the Bag End Home Theatre System, including a factory matched pair of MM-8H speakers for high and mid range and an INFRAsub-18 subwoofer system is $3,759. Suggested retail prices for the wood finish cabinets vary depending on the type of finish specified. Bag End is in its third decade of producing professional quality loudspeaker systems. Its systems are widely used throughout the motion picture industry in making movies.
