The Sonance BPS-1 Bass System

Some audiophiles want to set their gear on display and would brag on it as much as possible while others are eager to spend even more money on architectural systems to allow them to hide as much as acoustically reasonable gear in walls, ceilings and floors, keeping the rooms virtually unchanged and letting their equipment "sound" rather than "look". And since this is nothing new, high-end loudspeaker manufacturers have paid attention to the issue and have finally started to come up with sonic arrays that meet such requirements.

It's the case of Sonance engineers that seem to have been quite busy in the last period; the results of their efforts - the Sonance BPS-1, a band pass subwoofer that re-defines the in-wall bass principles and brings forth a technology which is simple as it sounds exceptionally.

Since most serious subs come in bulky, massive enclosures that sometimes tend to occupy quite a significant space in your chamber, many customers prefer to have these bass machines hidden behind pieces of furniture or curtains, with more or less success, depending on a multitude of variables. Well, the BPS-1 solves this problem in a straightforward way with no negative effects on the sonic response.

The Band Pass System-1 comes as a common flush-mount subwoofer that can be installed in walls and ceilings alike, with the same success. The innovation comes when we're talking channeling the air flow through a series of adapters that end up in the same plane with the plane of the ceiling or wall. Even more, you can opt-in for grilles in various sizes, both round or square, matching perfectly your homes interior d�cor and integrating your bass-tool with the generic atmosphere.

This band pass bass system will be available no earlier than January 2008 for an announced price of $1,050.
