BASSMAXX Delivers Depth With New ZV28 Subwoofer

Delivers 20 Hz bass performance at concert levels

BASSMAXX has introduced the new ZV28 Profundo powered subwoofer, which recently debuted at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami where 16 ZV28s brought 20 Hz bass to crowds of up to 10,000 people.

The dual-18-inch loaded ZV28 is a self-powered, self-processing, self-protecting, vented, direct radiating subwoofer with a large internal volume and a very low tuned frequency. Anti standing wave baffles and pass-through dampers minimize upper resonances, while very large ports maximize low frequency performance at high output.

Protection systems and limiters control all manners of overload, including thermal, excursion and clipping. The ZV28 is optimized for full-power operation, and is designed to operate at full rated RMS power throughout its operating range while ensuring the woofers remain within their excursion and thermal limits.

“We chose BASSMAXX after blowing up every other viable option on the market,” says Gregory Selph of Treehouse, a premier Miami techno-underground DJ venue. “These days, DJ’s demands on equipment are consistently surpassing the status quo of just a few years ago.

“Low end demands are the greatest, and often the weakest point in a sound system – BASSMAXX is directly the opposite. It makes low end effortless – waterproof – drink proof – DJ proof – self powered – self cooling – self monitoring – self limiting – and just bass crushing all wrapped in a tight little package. Wheel it in – plug it in – ready to begin.”

The ZV28 delivers deep-bass response at high levels in real-world applications due to high sensitivity at low frequencies, robust components and ample power.

The ZV28 is rated to provide consistently flat frequency response from 1 watt to 3,000 watts. A pair of subs can supply response that is -3 dB at 21 Hz, without equalization. Further, the ZV28 does not have low-frequency EQ boost, which, at high levels, can result in excessive distortion or woofer damage.

The woofer cones are waterproofed so the cabinets are safe to use outdoors where they may encounter rain, in nightclubs where drinks may be spilled on them, or in dusty environments.

Weight is light relative to output capacity. Cabinets are hand-made by master builders in the USA and are covered by a 6-year warranty. In addition, a unique “Sound Defense” extended warranty covers blown woofers for the first two years.
