21˝ High Performance Direct Radiation Active Subwoofer

QuickStart Guide

BASSO

 Series models allow the user to choose the most adequate 

subwoofer for any given situation from within a family of products with 
common finish, design solutions and performance philosophy as well as 
shared rigging and transport accessories.

BASSO

21-A is a high-density direct radiation subwoofer that brings the 

genuine 21” deep sound out of a very compact rugged cabinet, built with 
high quality birch 18” birch plywood, 2 mm steel grille and IDEA Aquaforce 
weather-resistant, durable coating.

This powerful, multipurpose subwoofer produces a clean linear audio signal 
that couples naturally with large two-way loudspeakers like 

LUA

EXO

and

EVO

 line-arrays in larger systems but 

BASSO

21-A has been carefully tuned to deliver the optimal performance 

from 21” premium quality transducer thanks to the four symmetrical 
ports that allow for extremely linear excursion of the woofer with minimal 
distortion and high response in those regions where sound is rather felt 
than heard.

This extended frequency response reaches 29Hz adding

capabilities in large systems and applications those sub-sonic qualities are 
required.
