The active bass reinforcement systems TT12SP1...3, TT15SP1...3 and TT18KSP1...3 extend the
low-frequencytransmissionrangeofourTSseriesspeakersbymorethananoctave.Dependingon
theapplicationandtherequiredmaximumlevel,therearethreedifferentmodelstochoosefrom.
Beginningwiththecompact12-and15-inchbassreexsystemstothehighpowersubwooferwith
18-inchlong-throwdriverand cardioid technology, the devicesharmonizeperfectlywith our mid
topcabinetsfromtheTSseries,bothtechnicallyandvisually. Highdynamicsandlowdistortions
characterize these systems. In addition to the technical advantages of the subwoofers from ME
Geithainallunits featurea sturdycabinetmadeofplyhardwood,impact-resistantpolyurethane-
basedcoating,lateralpockethandlesandaM20tophatttingforattachinganadjustablepole.
The congurable active lters and integrated power ampliers eliminate the need for a speaker
managementsystemoradditionalampliers,as the TT...SPseriessubwoofersprovideadditional
integratedampliersfordrivingpassivemidtopcabinets.UsingactivetopcabinetsoftheTSseries
isalso possible.Thepower ampliersareavailableinthreevariants.Aversionwithstereoinput
(TT...SP2)forsmall2.1systems,amonovariant(TT...SP1)forlargerapplicationsandasubwoofer
variant(TT...SP3)tosupportactivetops.Theamplierofthemonoversion(TT...SP1)isabletodrive
asecondpassivesubandamidtopcabinetwithupto1,000W.
