BIG POWERFUL WOOFERS

The PS2K subwoofer leaves no room for compromise. Four 13" woofers, or drivers, with massive magnets are the heart and soul of the PS2K. They utilize our patented Low Distortion High Performance (LD/HP®) Magnetic Circuit Design, which significantly reduces distortion while increasing the driver's power handling and efficiency.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) played a pivotal role in optimizing the drivers' performance, ensuring a sound experience that is simply breathtaking. The drivers have been developed with extreme linearity in order to reduce distortion. The voice coil is extra long, while the suspension is specially designed with a long excursion to give longer linear capability than most drivers.

MULTI-LAYER CARBON FIBER CONES

Witness a new pinnacle in craftsmanship with the PS2K's innovative multi-layer carbon fiber cones. The cones have an integrated formed joint with the voice coil, resulting in extreme rigidity and high power handling capability. While there have been carbon fiber cones available in the past, they were typically made from a single layer of carbon fiber and could still flex quite a bit, which could negatively impact sound performance. We leave no room for acoustic compromises, so the multi-layer cones in the PS2K's drivers are very strong and can resist long, extended excursion travel without any unwanted flexing.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION AND ADJUSTABILITY

The PS2K is not only a powerhouse in performance but also a master of versatility. Whether you have a two-channel stereo system or a multi-channel home theater setup, the PS2K offers balanced and unbalanced stereo inputs and outputs, as well as balanced and unbalanced subwoofer inputs and outputs. This variety of connection options will satisfy virtually all installations. Daisy-chaining capabilities are in place so that more than one PS2K can be used in a system.

Once connected to your amplifier, integrated amplifier, or home theater processor, a variety of built-in filtering controls makes it so you can precisely tailor the PS2K to your listening preferences. Adjustable Low Pass and High Pass filters let you set the crossover frequency. Two fully adjustable parametric EQ filters help compensate for unwanted effects caused by the room, furniture, or loudspeaker placement. Finally, Level Control and Phase adjustment knobs allow you to harmoniously blend the PS2K's acoustic output with your existing audio system.

BUILT-IN PROTECTION FOR A LIFETIME OF LISTENING

At McIntosh, we prioritize the longevity of your audio investment. The PS2K comes with two of our indispensable protection technologies. The first is Power Guard®, which monitors the audio input signal coming into the amplifiers and if necessary, makes real time, near speed of light adjustments to prevent harsh sounding clipping. These adjustments are imperceptible to your ear so there is no degradation to sound quality.

The second is Sentry Monitor™, our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit that disengages the amplifier's output stage before current could ever exceed safe operating levels, and automatically resetting when operating conditions return to normal.
