The Mordaunt-Short™ Performance™ 9 subwoofer incorporates two sizeable 25cm (10 inch) long-throw drivers. Each 25cm driver is powered by its own 500W IcePower module which dramatically reduce heat loss and therefore increases efficiency, allowing the Performance 9 subwoofer to deliver its mammoth 1000W power output.
The woofers operate in an opposed configuration delivering an elegant solution which offers inherent balance and mutually cancelling reactive forces between the two drivers. These are mounted within an ultra rigid, cast steel chassis assembly which is coupled directly to the floor and completely isolated from the enclosure.
In the subwoofer, you'll also find second generation ARC technology. Active Room Control (ARC) was developed by Mordaunt-Short to deliver the very best subwoofer performance regardless of the listening environment.
