NEXT-proaudio has announced the introduction of the new LAs118A.v3 (active) and LAs118.v3 (passive) subwoofer, offering the same look as the previous version but with a different internal construction (from hybrid-horn to now front-loaded) to respond more effectively to lower frequencies.
The optimized flare of the tunning port reduces air compression and turbulence especially at high acoustic pressure levels. Although the average sensitivity of the new version of LAs118 is a little lower than the previous version (about -0.4 dB) the SPL level in frequencies below 50 Hz is on average 2 dB higher.
The v3 version also employs the new Power Module DPA2000.v3 with the same features as the previous version but with added advantages such as a reduced fan noise with an internal fan, an increased heatsink efficiency due to front panel redesign, a higher humidity immunity due to only internal air flow (no external air source), a USB connection and a higher grade heatsink protection paint.
This new design and the dedicated presets were engineered to be compatible with the previous LAs118 version.
