VUE Audiotechnik hs-28 Dual 18-inch, ACM™ Powered Subwoofer System

VUE Audiotechnik hs-28 Dual 18-inch, ACM™ Powered Subwoofer System

The VUE Audiotechnik hs-28's industry's workhorse sub, is the dual 18-inch system that is designed to deploy the patent-pending ACM (Active Compliance Management) technology, which is capable of combining both the band-pass and vented alignments into a single enclosure. The VUE Audiotechnik hs-28 is placing the two premium, 18-inch transducers into this configuration, that comes with both woofers that share a common vented chamber. One woofer’s frontal radiation is direct, and the second woofer’s frontal radiation is driving the band-pass chamber at the same time.

From there the industry add an active  onboard electronics which includes the dual monaural powerful amplifiers capable to send a 830W of pure sine wave power (2000W “peak” ) to each woofer. Sophisticated DSP precisely is aligning the phase arrivals of the front facing woofer and both vents.

The unique ACM configuration is requiring a highly-capable transducer. The precision-engineered, long excursion 18-inch woofer that is enhanced for the VUE Audiotechnik hs-28 features large, 4-inch voice coil for increased power handling and decreased power compression.

The combination of ACM, purpose-designed transducers, and precision electronics allows the VUE Audiotechnik hs-28 for delivering a much higher output throughout its operating bandwidth from a footprint that’s smaller than most dual 18-inch vented designs.

Rugged Design and Stage Ready

What’s more, the small frontal area and footprint of the hs-28 makes it incredibly easy to assemble compact subwoofer arrays. For example, a stack of six hs-28’s is only slightly more than 6 feet wide by 5 feet high and produces more than 142 dB SPL at one-meter maximum output. The hs-28’s very linear and consistent response makes it an ideal component in directional subwoofer arrays including cardioid stacks and end-fire arrays.

Like all h-Class systems, the hs-28 ships with networking capabilities already onboard. There’s no need for additional cards or retrofitting. SystemVUE uses standard IP protocols to simplify the networking process. Simply plug in and the hs-28 will automatically connect to virtually any kind of IP configuration. Users can then access and monitor network and device-level parameters through our SystemVUE software.

We’ve housed all this rich, subwoofery-goodness in a rugged enclosure that’s manufactured from premium-grade, birch plywood with extensive internal bracing for resonant free operation. A highly-durable, 6-step Dura Coat finish looks great and protects the hs-28 through many years on the road.
