Bag End

The Bag End M-6 is a 6-inch, 2-way, coaxial Time-Aligned loudspeaker system designed for critical near field studio monitoring applications

Designed as a Nearfield Monitor the M-6 offers accurate time and frequency information within the near field listening area. Despite its small size it has high acoustic output and unsurpassed clarity and resolution of detail. The wide uniform dispersion expands the sweet spot to allow 2 people to sit side by side in the near field and experience the same frequency response. Attachment points are provided for Bag End mounting bracket (BRKT-1) and other popular mounting hardware.

Self-powered 12" Studio Infrasub and 5.1 Bass Management

The ISUB-12 is a self powered professional subwoofer system. It employs bass management, hi pass filtered outputs, a sealed front firing 12" cone loudspeaker, and the INFRA dual integrator. This drives a 700 watt power amplifier providing a flat acoustical response down to 8 Hertz. Six inputs allow the combining of all the bass information on 5.1 surroundprograms and 2 level controls and a 10dB attenuator provide relative adjustment of the bass information from the 5 full range channels and the dedicated low frequency effect channel. 5 hi pass line level filtered outputs are provided for the upper range loudspeakers and a line level INFRA output is provided for additional INFRA bass speakers. Internally set Dynamic Filter protection maintains undistorted audio reproduction under accidental overload conditions. A remote indicator module is provided and may be placed in a convenient visible location to indicate the dynamic filter protection threshold has been reached.

INFRA? TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION:
The INFRA driver is operated below resonance and flattened with an electrical boosting circuit, the INFRA dual integrator. Operating below resonance the INFRA system exhibits predictable, uniform response and reproduces each note with the same emphasis, reducing the influence of the resonances found in conventional above resonance bass systems. In addition, the use of a low pass filter is eliminated (and with it the associated long variable delay) and replaced with the INFRA dual integrator with its short uniform delay. Upon close listening, it is clear that the impression of power and impact is greater with an INFRA system when compared to conventional bass systems. This is true even when the two systems will measure the exact same Sound Pressure Level on a calibrated SPL meter. This is because the INFRA subwoofer maintains the bass energy in a tight packet, aligned with the upper range signal, providing a greater body impact and a seamless musical connection with the main loudspeakers. Objectively, the INFRA system exhibits superior frequency and phase response.
