Cerwin Vega! Announces the First 21-inch Active Subwoofer on
the Market Using Legendary Stroker™ Technology
New line of active subwoofers launched at Musik Messe to include 21-inch and 18-inch
HOLLYWOOD, FL – March 28th, 2007 – Cerwin Vega!, a leading manufacturer of loudspeakers and audio
products, proudly announces the introduction of a new line of professional active subwoofers at Musik Messe. The
Cerwin-Vega Active Series consists of two unique models, CVA-121 and CVA-118, featuring Cerwin Vega’s
legendary driver design and bass performance, incorporated in a small compact footprint. Built-in amplifiers provide a
completely integrated active system, and a functional cast aluminum grill doubles as a heat-sink to minimize power
compression and maximize driver performance. Along with XLR and ¼-in connectors, the CVA subwoofers have
Master/Slave output connectors that allow for multiple CVA subwoofers to be daisy-chained together using a single
signal. The subwoofers also feature a 35 mm pole-mount socket to accommodate a satellite speaker for full range
performance and the CVA-121 includes removable steel casters for portability. Both subwoofer enclosures are
constructed of 18 mm hardwood and finished with the option of a durable Coolex® polyurethane paint or high-grade
black carpet finish.
From the company who pioneered bass and subwoofer technology, Cerwin Vega is the first loudspeaker company to
successfully design a 1200 watt, 21-inch active subwoofer. The CVA-121 features Cerwin Vega’s innovative Stroker
technology, which utilizes a three spider driver design to optimize cone excursion and voice coil efficiency. The
powerful built-in 1200 watt (2400 watt peak), high-efficiency Class H amplifier provides a highly-qualified amp
solution. In addition, the CVA-121 includes a unique onboard parametric equalizer that allows for added adjustment
of the gain, frequency and Q for customized performance options. To add to its unique design, the subwoofer is
housed in a cabinet the size of a traditional 18-inch subwoofer, and includes a striking cast aluminum grille design.
