BASSBOSS ZV28-MK3 5000W Powered Dual Extended Depth Subwoofer - 18"

MK3 Amp Update

 

• There are all-new amplifiers in the MK3 series. Total power has increased, however power allocated to woofers increased substantially. The higher output voltages provide more impact. Universal input voltage compatibility of 90-250V provides more flexibility. Waterproof connections provide more peace of mind.

MK3 Enhanced DSP

• The MK3 features all-new 96 kHz DSP. The push-button presets have doubled from 4 to 8, and up to 100 presets can now be stored in the DSP and loaded via LAN. The comprehensive suite of processing includes meticulously tuned equalization, all necessary high-pass and low-pass filters, and multiple protection systems and limiters to prevent driver overload in as many ways as possible.

ControlBASS Software

• ControlBASS software supports an essentially unlimited number of possible BASSBOSS-developed or customized user presets, which integrate seamlessly and coherently with all other BASSBOSS products for effortlessly perfect setups. The latest in DSP programming developments can be added via easy remote updating.

The ZV28-MK3 features a 5000W amplifier with an autosensing globally compatible power supply that can run on input voltages anywhere between 90 and 250 Volts. Full output power is available on anything over 110V. The amplifier's peak output voltage provides for intense, high-SPL hits, while its sustained output is unparalleled in its ability to deliver liquid lows. The amplifier is passively cooled via its external heat sink and by woofer-generated airflow through the port. When necessary, four fans provide additional forced-air cooling capacity during more extreme conditions.

New to the MK3 are Neutrik powerCON True 1 TOP (Total Outdoor Protection) waterproof connectors. Waterproof connectors, a totally isolated input connection section, and cones that are waterproofed allow the MK3 series powered loudspeakers to be used outdoors without fear of what the weather will bring (or used indoors without fear of what the partiers wll bring).

• Dual 18" woofers with neodymium motors and with massive 4.5" voice coils
• Neodymium magnets provide higher intensity and efficiency, resulting in a lighter and louder cabinet than those with ferrite drivers

The comprehensive suite of processing includes high-pass and low-pass filters, and multiple protection systems and limiters to prevent driver overload in as many ways as possible, including thermal, excursion, and clipping. The five levels of protection actively prevent the voice coil from overheating, minimize long-term thermal compression, and limit excursion. Because they operate in 5 different modes, the limiters are sophisticated enough to have a largely unnoticeable effect on the transient response and allow the subwoofer to deliver peak output safely.

• The new DSP features an Ethernet interface that can be used to control the cabinets from a computer or to load software or firmware updates. Ethernet connectivity in conjunction with the DSP board allow signal to be sent via Milan AVB. Firmware updates provide access to this feature.
• Within the software, multiple cabinets can be grouped together, allowing them to respond to commands simultaneously. This permits levels of multiple loudspeakers to be adjusted together and yet independently from the levels of other groups of loudspeakers. In addition to individual and grouped level controls, presets can be loaded and signal levels and temperatures can be monitored. Each cabinet includes a two-port switch, so multiple cabinets can be chained on the same data cable.
• The MK3 DSP features a storage capacity of up to 100 presets, eight of which can be accessed at the touch of a button with no need for a connected computer. Eight directly accessible presets are compatible with all the presets in the MK3 Top Boxes and are also compatible with previous generation tops and subs.
