Argon Audio BERLIN SUB 12 – Real-Time Bass, Redefined

The Argon Audio BERLIN SUB 12 looks clean, compact and perfectly well-behaved – until you press play. Behind its minimalist Scandinavian cabinet sits a custom 12-inch long-stroke driver, a 500 W Pascal Class D amplifier and Argon Audio's advanced Real Time Bass DSP, working together to give music more weight, movies more impact and games a whole lot more drama. At Soundium it stands out as a subwoofer that plays in genuine rhythm with your main speakers, rather than smearing the low end. It brings serious engineering to a footprint that fits any room, with even greater output from its larger 12-inch driver.

Key Features

• Real Time Bass technology: 64-bit DSP analyses the signal in real time and corrects timing before problems occur, for tight, agile bass.
• Custom 12-inch long-stroke driver: Glass fibre cone in a sealed, damped cabinet for controlled, deep low frequencies.
• 500 W RMS / 1200 W peak: Pascal Class D amplification with effortless dynamic headroom.
• Speakermatch crossover technology: Complementary filters match the roll-off of your main speakers for a seamless blend.
• MATRIX Wireless ready: Integrated receiver for Argon Audio's low-latency, high-resolution wireless platform.
• Flexible connectivity: RCA stereo and balanced XLR inputs, RCA outputs, plus USB-C for firmware updates.

Customer Benefits

With just 0.19 ms of total signal latency, the BERLIN SUB 12 keeps perfect time with your system, adding slam and attack instead of a slow wave of boom. Room EQ, adjustable delay, phase and a subsonic filter let you dial it in precisely, while the down-firing design and compact cabinet make placement easy in real living rooms.
