Fulcrum Launches Cardioid Subwoofer Product Line

[ATTACH=CONFIG]203647.vB5-nodeid=203647[/ATTACH]We are pleased to announce the launch of our latest technology-driven product line: Cardioid Subwoofers. Our Cardioid Subwoofers are designed with patent-pending Passive Cardioid Technology™ to overcome the excessive rear low frequency radiation that is a major challenge of many loudspeakers.

First introduced in our line array products, Passive Cardioid Technology is now the basis for a line of Cardioid Subwoofers which includes the CS118 18 inch and CS121 21 inch subcardioid subwoofers. Unlike active cardioid speakers, our Cardioid Subwoofers do not require additional amplifier channels or drivers to achieve impressive low frequency directional control of up to 10 dB of rear rejection over the subwoofer’s operating range.

Our speakers’ subcardioid behavior is produced by a meticulously conceived acoustical circuit which balances the horn loading of the low frequency drivers, the enclosure depth and volume, and specially constructed rear-mounted ports which include a calibrated resistive element. By opting for a subcardioid pattern as opposed to a pure, hyper or super cardioid pattern, the rear rejection increases when the modules are deployed as an array.

Fulcrum co-founder and lead product designer David Gunness states, “Passive Cardioid Technology evolved from listening to our customers’ needs and directing our efforts toward satisfying those needs. We see this technology as potentially game changing for the pro audio industry and as something we will continue to develop into new applications going forward.”
