LAT 250

Tymphany LAT, featured in a looong piece at Wired.com, is supposed to be a subwoofer that takes up much less size than others. If you read the website, which refers to speakers as "audio transducers", your head will fill up with jargon and spill out of your nose. Read:


The Tymphany LAT displaces air using a linear array of multiple smaller diaphragms...the Tymphany LAT has been designed with opposing end motors that cancel out structural vibration.


Here, I speak nonsense fluently, let me translate: The LAT uses a number of small speakers to create the same punch as a bigger subwoofer. The Tymphany makes minimal vibrations, as the speakers are stacked, and the driving force for one speaker cancels out shake from it's neighboring speaker.

Cool. Available in the Tymphany LAT 500, which is as powerful as twin 10-inch subs in 5-inch wide case, and the LAT 700 that is the equivalent of two 12-inch subs in a 7-inch case.

As for why they are putting it down, I wont say bashing just yet, it doesn't have specs that support a "sub"woofer. 60Hz is not deep at all, now they seem like they may be decent for mid bass units though. If some of the other models have better spces then they might be a cool sub.

Period.....
This has been around for the better part of most of this year and it strikes me as something more like a midbass setup than an actual subwoofer. Them calling it a subwoofer is sort of misleading.

Alpine made 2 subwoofers like this. Get with the times folks.

They weren't as small as these, but they were also actual subs. The push-pull design has been around longer than Alpine has AFAIK.

ya alpine had used linear array transducers for a few years in the 12volt side. they offered a few sizes, and sound "OK" imo.

The Blose bass module at least gets down to 47Hz. :(

60Hz would make a mid bass module at the very least.
