Application of the UN BASS
The Universal Bass Unit (UNIBASS) is a high power "all in one solution" active bass speaker system.
It is intended to be used either as a single unit or in multiples with any sound system in order to
achieve a powerful and dynamic bass response. The unit has a characteristic heavyweight sound,
which you would normally only expect to achieve with much bigger systems, and is designed to
maintain an outstanding audio performance regardless of how hard it is being driven.
People don't listen to music because they are interested in the specs of the speakers, they listen to
en oy the sound, and that is where the UNIBASS comes into its own. It ust sounds amazing, and
ultimately that is what really matters to most people.
The UNIBASS has a built in low pass filter so that it can be run from a full range signal. It features
unique analogue signal processing that helps the unit to make the most of the music, producing a
really heavyweight, dynamic and accurate sound that is a pleasure to listen to. It also features a
unique dynamic processing system so that when the unit is overdriven, when many units would
otherwise struggle, the UNIBASS comes into its own and manages its signal and headroom so that it
can consistently perform at 100% all night long without breaking a sweat.
The UNIBASS can be used individually, although owing to their small physical size compared to the
large wavelength of bass frequencies they are less efficient as singles, and perform much more
efficiently if used in stacks of multiple units.
We recommend for applications requiring high sound pressures that as a minimum two UNIBASS are
used in each stack, one on top of the other.
Other useful format's include three UNIBASS stacked vertically, which gives greater output again and
also provides a very useful height platform to put mid/high speakers on.
For optimum bass performance we would suggest stacks of four UNIBASS - two high by two wide,
which will couple to produce a really extreme output pressure. For larger shows still stacks of six
UNIBASS - two wide by three high would be the next step.
The UNIBASS is well suited to be used with our "GENERAL" and "ESPIELLA" active speakers, but it can
ust as well be used with any other speakers or system requiring low frequency reinforcement.
Our "GENERAL" can be easily pole mounted above a UNIBASS. One UNIBASS will considerably
improve the performance of a GENERAL, but again for applications requiring heavy bass we would
recommend stacks of two UNIBASS under a GENERAL.
Our more powerful "ESPIELLA" is specifically designed to partner to the UNIBASS, and one ESPIELLA
can be used with between two and four UNIBASS depending on application.
