The MPS 150 powered subwoofer is the perfect companion for our Nucleus Micro, A'Diva
and Dué loudspeakers. The unique two piece design allows the amplifier and subwoofer
sections to be positioned together, or located separately - allowing them to be placed
with the rest of your equipment, or hidden away if preferred.
With the MPS 150 even explosions have texture. Since we expect you to use your MPS
150 for music as well as for home cinema, we used the highest quality woofer we could
find. In fact, we had this one jointly developed with Peerless of Denmark to work
synergistically with our patented S2 technology. The result is a subwoofer that slams
out tight, coherent, precise BASS - without ever being over-powering.
There are several ways to measure power ratings and this is the most conservative
one. Our 150 Watt rating is for continuous RMS. This means a continuous output, all
day long, of 150 Watts. It has a big heavy power supply and very high parts quality.
If we were to measure peak RMS, our amp would easily pass for a 300 Watt amplifier.
In fact, most companies use the peak rating and that is how they label their amps.
We choose to be honest, even conservative.
The woofer, or piston driver / cone, is the heart of any speaker design. Still, most
manufacturers, especially at mass market system costs (£1,500 and under), use the
least cost driver approach. They spend as little as they can. Most manufacturers
do not pay much attention to detail or articulation in their subwoofers. They design
their subs to be sound effects generators. It is for this reason that most sound
terrible when you try to listen to music. They may hide their deficiencies if all
they have to do is go boom, crash, bang - just don't ask them to make that bass drum
sound tight or a jazz trio sound lifelike.
We believe that even explosions have texture. A better sounding speaker will give
you better sounding effects. Why should we not be able to hear all the detail and
not just some muddy, boomy, boxy sounding crash. Since we expect you to be able to
use our sub for music and not just cinema sound effects, we use the highest quality
woofer we could find. In fact, we had this one developed to work synergistically
with our patented S2 technology. To call it heavy duty is an understatement. Weighing
in at a hefty 15 pounds you are not likely to find one anywhere near this parts quality
in a subwoofer costing less than one thousand dollars.
Anthony Gallo isn't one to follow the crowd, a characteristic he shares with the people who buy his loudspeakers.
He chooses not to build conventional 'boxy' rectangular speakers, preferring to design his creations around spheres - thus eliminating internal resonance and external diffraction, the two main causes of loudspeaker distortion.
From his classic 4" and 5" satellite speakers, the Micro and A'Diva , to the stunning Due wall-mountable AV speaker. Anthony is rewriting the rulebook.
