THE 16 SUB PRO PS SH: The Ultimate Compact Powerhouse

High-Performance Bass, Engineered for Excellence

Building on the success of its powered predecessor, The 16 SUB PRO PS SH redefines what a compact, high-performance subwoofer can achieve. Designed for audiophiles and home theatre enthusiasts who demand uncompromising bass, this sealed, passive subwoofer delivers exceptional power, precision, and seamless integration, all in a remarkably compact form.

Small Footprint, Massive Performance

By eliminating the electronics compartment and incorporating state-of-the-art neodymium magnets, this subwoofer is more powerful and efficient than ever. Measuring just 47 x 47 x 29.5 cm, it delivers earth-shaking bass while fitting effortlessly into any space. Whether used in a dedicated home theatre or an advanced audio setup, its shallow design ensures maximum placement flexibility without sacrificing output.

Precision Engineering for Superior Sound

Every component of The 16 SUB PRO PS SH has been meticulously designed for premium performance. Featuring a rohacell carbon sandwich cone, it provides exceptional rigidity with minimal weight, ensuring accurate and distortion-free bass. The Santoprene surround offers higher SPL and superior control, enabling massive air displacement while maintaining precision and speed.

This means deep, thunderous bass for movies and music, as well as crystal-clear transient response, so even the sharpest sounds, like gunshots or drum kicks, are reproduced with pinpoint accuracy.

Unleash the Full Potential of Your Audio System

With an impressive power handling capacity of 1500W RMS and high peak power, The 16 SUB PRO PS SH is built to pair with the most powerful amplifiers. Its high linear excursion and narrow high-roll surround allow for precise reproduction of both tight, punchy bass and deep, rumbling lows, delivering an immersive audio experience that you can feel in your bones.

Perfect for Advanced Bass Configurations

Thanks to its compact and shallow design, this subwoofer is ideal for tight spacing in bass arrays. Whether integrating into Trinnov Waveforming, Dirac ART, double bass arrays, or single bass arrays, it blends seamlessly into sophisticated setups, enhancing and refining bass output like never before.

Premium Build, Unrivalled Performance

As the smaller sibling of the renowned 18-inch model, The 16 SUB PRO PS SH carries the same commitment to innovation and excellence. Designed for high-end home theatres and critical listening environments, it delivers an audio experience that is both powerful and precise.
