Technical Data TouringSub V1.0 engl. we amplify emotions.
2 TouringSub ad-systems // we amplify emotions General Information The TouringSub is a very flexible subwoofer incorporating a durable 18 neodymium transducer featuring very low power compression, high sensitivity and high power handling, and thus delivering enormously high sonic output. It is your first choice if you need to move air seriously. The basis for its incredible and enduring performance is a proprietary transducer motor ventilation system. The bass reflex vent cross-section area corresponds to 75% of the membrane surface area - port compression effects are non-existent. Tuned to 42 Hz it is able to extend the frequency response of any PA system down to 35 Hz. Its upper crossover frequency can be as high as 120Hz. A special feature of the AD-System TouringSub are its flexible recessed stacking pads offering numerous stacking options: Standing upright or lying, rotated or alternating for cardioid setups, etc. Appropriate DSP presets for cardioid or endfire subwoofer array applications are provided with our Impuls series amplifiers naturally.

Either AD Impulse DSP Amplifiers or external DSP with provided settings are required to achieve the specified performance. 2) Frequency response: Range of the processed response, where the level stays within 6dB from nominal sensitivity. 3) Power Handling: Is based on the AES power handling of the transducers. 4) Nominal Sensitivity: SPL produced by the unit at 1 Watt at nominal impedance, referenced to 1 Meter. Measurement condition: Full space in the far field of the speaker. Time-windowed to approximate an anechoic environment. 5) Maximum SPL: Calculated from nominal sensitivity at stated peak input power. 6) Resolution: For better readability a 1/6 octave smoothing is applied to all response graphs shown. All data provided are subject to change without prior notice.
TouringSub 5 Accessories For efficient and easy handling and best possible protection on the road various accessories are offered. For optimal mobility there are 100mm swivel castors available, which can be mounted either to the back side of the enclosure or to the optionally available front board. The front board protects the loudspeakers front and - if equipped with castors - can serve as detachable wheelboard. Further on a padded transport cover made of durable polyester fabric is available, and protects even against roughest handling and dirt effectively. 7100000186 100mm swivel castors 7011000049 TouringSub Front Board 7011000133 TouringSub Transport Cover
