VUE HS-28 Dual 18-inch, ACM Powered Subwoofer System

Our workhorse sub, the dual 18-inch hs-28 deploys our patent-pending ACM (Active Compliance Management) technology, which combines both band-pass and vented alignments into a single enclosure. The hs-28 places two premium, 18-inch transducers into this configuration, with both woofers sharing a common vented chamber. One woofer’s frontal radiation is direct, while the second woofer’s frontal radiation drives the band-pass chamber.

From there we add active onboard electronics including dual monaural powerful amplifiers that send 830W of pure sine wave power (2000W “peak” ) to each woofer. Sophisticated DSP precisely aligns the phase arrivals of the front facing woofer and both vents.

The unique ACM configuration requires a highly-capable transducer. The precision-engineered, long excursion 18-inch woofer developed for the hs-28 features large, 4-inch voice coil for increased power handling and decreased power compression.

The combination of ACM, purpose-designed transducers, and precision electronics allows the hs-28 to deliver much higher output throughout its operating bandwidth from a footprint that’s smaller than most dual 18-inch vented designs.
