The Definitive SuperCube
I
has triumphed again, this
time by garnering a "97" rating, a "Top
Choice" award and being judged most musical ("top
rankings among
the entire group") in an 18 subwoofer shootout in DVD ETC.
Magazine. With multiple Subwoofer-of- the-Year awards,
Best Buys, Editors Choice and now this, the SuperCubes
are Hot! Hot! Hot! Here are DVD ETC.'s raves:
DVD
ETC. TOP CHOICE: "My love affair with Definitive
Tech speakers began
during an audition of
the PowerMonitor 900s a
few years ago. Def Tech has once again bested their efforts
with the
SuperCube I. This sub
was the smallest of the
"Black Diamonds" in this
shakedown and proved itself as an all-around performer
with some surprising attributes in general. I have not
been very impressed by
the musical performance
of the small-box,
large-moving-mass woofers of late, so my impressions going
into the audition with the SuperCube
I were,
admittedly, somewhat tainted. However, music playback proved
to be one of this tiny sub's strongest suits earning it
top rankings among the entire group. Adding to that, this
sub pounds out bass
notes with aggression. It was almost comical to see the
tiny sub parked next to the giant Velodyne HGS-18, slugging
it out note for note. In the end, the Velo proved much
louder, but it was a respectful bout
nonetheless. The SuperCube I will hit you in the ankles
and knock you off your feet, kick you while you're down,
then kiss you and make up."
RATING: 97
"Godzilla-esque!" —Brent Butterworth, Home Theater
SuperCube® Trinity
Signature
The new SuperCube® Trinity Signature is a very special
over-the-top powered subwoofer which was originally developed
for the state-of-the-art electronic organ at Trinity Church in New York
(which uses a huge multiple array of Definitive bipolar towers — one
for each organ pipe).
It delivers outstanding low frequency performance which
heretofor has not been available in such a compact enclosure.
In fact, it was designed to replace 5' x 5' x 8" boxes which had previously
been used in organs of this type.
Capable of prodigious output (in excess of 128 db at 20 Hz and 116 db at 16 Hz in a normal room) the Signature is also quick and highly detailed. It may be used vertically or positioned on its back when custom installations call for it.

a 14" version of the 10" SuperCube® Technology
driver pressure coupled to two 14" infrasonic radiators.
All this is powered by an 1800-watt class D amplifier.
The result is astounding high-definition bass performance
extending effortlessly down below 11 Hz. Each SuperCube® Reference
goes lower than and has dynamic impact and output capabilities
almost equivalent to that of four SuperCube® subwoofers
combined. Slam, pace and rhythm are exemplary as is the
ability to actually shake cement slab foundations. A
complete complement of inputs and controls, including
continuously variable level, high-pass, low-pass and
phase controls, speaker and line level in and out, and
LFE Direct in, are included on this surprisingly compact

Definitive's SuperCubes are
a new breed of powered subwoofers which utilize unique
technology and components in order to achieve state-of-the-art
performance from remarkably small boxes. Remember, it is
important to understand when you are evaluating the SuperCubes
that you can not simply compare them to conventional subwoofers
based on driver size. Because of their unique technology,
the SuperCubes deliver far superior performance to conventional
subwoofers which utilize drivers of 50% - 80% larger diameter.
In fact, SuperCube I dramatically outperforms our previous
18" PF1800 in all important parameters.
Definitive's
elegant and ultra-compact SuperCube subwoofers deliver
ultimate bass performance from beautiful enclosures that
fit anywhere. They combine Definitive — designed,
digitally coupled (patent pending) Class D digital switching
amplifiers (1500-watts SuperCube I, 1250-watts SuperCube
II) with extremely long-throw, huge magnet, front mounted
subwoofer drivers (10" — SuperCube I, 8" — SuperCube
II) which are tightly coupled to dual side-mounted, pressure
driven infrasonic bass radiators (two 10" — SuperCube
I, two 8" — SuperCube II). The SuperCubes
deliver incredibly deep, high-impact low-frequency performance
which extends 13Hz (SuperCube I) and 14 Hz (SuperCube II)
with superbly tuneful high-definition transient response
for bass that sounds as good with delicate music as with
earth-shaking action movies. Both include complete
input, output, level control, continuously variable high-pass
and low-pass crossover facilities plus a continuously variable
phase control and direct-in LFE input. These remarkably
compact superwoofers (14" cube — SuperCube I,
12" cube — SuperCube
II) feature Definitive's signature piano-gloss black end
caps and wraparound grille cloth styling.

Definitive's Patented
Infinite Power Source
High-Current MOSFET Power Amplifiers
All Definitive's
ProSub powered subwoofers incorporate our unique, patented
digitally-coupled Infinite Power Source amplifiers with
high-current direct coupled power supplies and discrete
MOSFET output devices to ensure perfect high-definition
resolution and reproduction of the most dynamic program
material and demanding sub-bass transients. Construction
quality is absolutely state-of-the-art with only the highest
quality components used including mil-spec glass epoxy
circuit boards and precision resistors and capacitors for
many years of faultless superior performance. In addition,
tremendous current reserves, high peak-power capabilities
and two special sonically invisible protection circuits
ensure that these subwoofers can never be overdriven. There
is also a convenient, signal-sensing, auto on/off feature.
Definitive's High-Definition
Subwoofer Drivers
Deliver Superior Detail and Lightning-Fast Transient Response
The powerful, high-definition
drivers used in all our powered subwoofers were specifically
engineered by Definitive for their task: to deliver rock-solid
low distortion bass, reaching down to the lowest subsonic
frequencies, with an outstanding quality of superior transient
response unequaled in the world. The special ultra-stiff,
low-mass cones (for super-fast transient response) are
joined to specially formulated surrounds and long-throw
voice coils and spiders. The incredibly rigid baskets are
engineered to hold the massive magnet structures and large
voice coils in absolute alignment. The high temperature
voice coils are made of aluminum wound with triple insulated
ultra-pure copper wire and baked in epoxy for power handling
in excess of 750 watts.
Computer Synthesized
Transmission Line Tuning (CSTLT)
for Extended Response and Improved Pitch Definition
Definitive's ProSub
powered subwoofers incorporate a unique, highly effective
computer synthesized transmission line tuning. Transmission
line loading of low-frequency drivers has long been acknowledged
among critical audiophiles as producing the deepest, cleanest
and most uncolored bass response. The construction of a
true and properly engineered transmission line is, however,
an extremely complex and expensive procedure. Definitive's
engineers have developed, with the aid of a supercomputer
at a major Eastern university, a new bass tuning program
which basically duplicates the loading of a transmission
line (in terms of extended bass response, ideal transient
behavior, and superior pitch definition) in a much more
elegant and cost-effective cabinet construction. The drivers'
construction combined with this unique transmission line
loading minimizes required excursion, thus, improving transient
response as well as ensuring maximum coupling of their
output to the air in your room for bass literally powerful
enough to shake concrete floors, as reviewers have noted.
Rock Solid Monocoque
Non-Resonant Cabinets
Ensure Pure Low Distortion Response
The cabinet of a loudspeaker
plays a large part in its sonic performance. Resonance
and vibration can add unwanted distortion as well as drain
away important energy from the system. Definitive's subwoofers
utilize monocoque cabinets, which have been specifically
engineered to be totally inert and vibration free, to ensure
you of absolutely pure sonic reproduction. Monocoque means
that the cabinet is of a unitized construction where all
panels are permanently joined together into one solid structure.
The cabinet walls themselves are high-density medite fused
together by space-age polymer adhesives. The front and
rear baffles are extra thick and the cabinets each incorporate
multiple internal braces to ensure total solidity.
Completely Adjustable
Electronic Crossovers
Assure a Perfect Match to Your System and Room
The sophisticated low distortion
electronic crossovers incorporated in all our powered subwoofers
are a masterpiece of design and execution. They contain
a complete range of hookups, circuitry and features which
allow the subwoofers to be connected and perfectly blended
with any system as well as adjusted for optimum performance
in any room.
All our powered subwoofers
have continuously adjustable low pass filter controls which
allow you to choose a roll-off of from 40 to 150 Hz for
the high end of the subwoofer. This unique "dual stage" roll-off
is extremely quick which ensures perfect blending with
your main speakers as well as no unwanted upper bass or
midrange radiation from the subwoofer. This is especially
important because it gives you much greater flexibility
in placing your subwoofer in your room without being able
to hear where it is specifically located. All our powered
subwoofers also have a separate low-level direct LFE input
for Dolby Digital which bypasses the crossover network.
All models have a built-in speaker level high-pass crossover
preset at 80 Hz (except ProSub 60 preset at 100Hz) and,
of course, a precision level control allows you to perfectly
adjust the volume of the subwoofer to match your system
and room as well as to fulfill your own personal sonic
preferences.
A Full Range of
Inputs and Outputs Facilitates Easy Hookup of Your Definitive
Subwoofer to Any System
All Definitive powered subwoofers
have a complete range of inputs, outputs and features to
allow easy and effective hookup to any system either singly
or in a stereo pair. Both (high) speaker level and low-level
inputs are provided in case you don't have a subwoofer
output. In addition, all models have a separate direct-in
LFE low-level input (which bypasses the crossover network)
which may be used by itself or in combination with left
and right channel high- or low-level inputs for the ultimate
in subwoofer flexibility and performance. With a single
subwoofer, the subwoofer signal, Dolby Digital* LFE signal
and/or both left and right signals are sent to the subwoofer
and combined via the electronic crossover into one composite
signal. With stereo (two) subwoofers, the left and right
signals are reproduced by their own respective subwoofer
(and the LFE signal is reproduced by both). Very advanced
systems may also use a separate subwoofer hooked up to
the rear/side surround channels as well as one to the center
channel.

apartment (I kid you not!)" — Joe Hageman, Home Theater
“The
SuperCube Reference was at
heart an audiophile’s
subwoofer … that speaks forcefully and clearly,
yet is capable of remarkable delicacy… equally
convincing on music, striking a great balance between power
and control … There aren't many subwoofers that
can outperform the
SuperCube Reference,
and the few I've heard
that do cost a lot more.
I recommend this
subwoofer highly.” —Chris

“it
doesn’t get much
better than this”
"Flexibility, extension,
and affordability
—it doesn’t get much
better than this. With reach down to the mid-20Hz range, and unflappable behavior
at extreme volumes, this 14" cube with its single 10" woofer and dual
10" passive radiators mixes the precision of a sealed- box sub with the
additional oomph of a ported enclosure. The 1500-watt amplifier guarantees that
current flow will remain unimpeded. With speaker and line level inputs and outputs,
variable high/low- pass filtering, and phase alignment, the 60-pound SuperCube
does what every subwoofer should do—it performs subliminally".
