1 Technical Specifications

The Ovoidal 5.1 sub is a long excursion 

bass-reflex subwoofer in an ovoidal axi

-

symmetric  closed  structure,  characte-
rized  by  extreme  sensitivity,  dynamics, 
and  emission  power,  made  with  an  in-
credibly  rigid  and  light  structure  in  du-
rable  composite  materials.  Unlike  all 
other  alternatives  currently  available, 
this  low-frequency  speaker  was  made 
without technical and dimensional com-
promises,  with  structural  technologies 
not  present  in  the  professional  audio 
market.  Thus  it  achieves  maximum 
acoustic  performance  with  an  elegant 
design and a unique personality.

All other bass reflex subwoofers on the 

professional audio market are built insi-
de  wooden  box  structures.  This  tech-
nology  is  awed  due  to  structural  reso-
nances and internal acoustic problems 
related to stationary waves. Furthermo-
re,  the  wooden  structure  is  very  heavy 
and is characterized by problems rela-
ted to protection and durability, with lit- 
tle resistance to atmospheric agents.
Ovoidal  5.1  represents  an  exclusive 
technological  innovation,  built  from  hi-
gh-quality  composite  materials  in  a 
special  ovoidal  shell  shape.  The  scra-
tch-resistant  glossy  surfaces  and  the 
resistance to atmospheric agents, com-
bined  with  great  power  with  extremely 

high efficiency and very high sensitivity, 

allow Ovoidal 5.1 to truly distinguish it-
self when compared to any product from 
the main competing brands, with direct 

radiation electroacoustic bass reflex te

-

chnology.  Ovoidal  5.1  guarantees  per-
fect loading of low frequencies in sensi-
tivity, depth, control and SPL expressed 
by the usage of very few watts. Ovoidal 
5.1 uses a single hi-quality transducer of 
18” (460mm). The structure is rigid and 
very light (considering the overall weight 
and the dB/Kg ratio). The aesthetic im-
pact is extraordinary and absolutely uni-
que in the professional sound market.
