The MB2S XBD is a development of the successful MB2S with increased dynamics and LF performance. The addition of the XBD cabinet containing a second precision 12” Radial™ driver increases the LF headroom by 3dB below 380Hz that allows a larger room to be driven to greater effect. In a surround configuration the added headroom of the XBD allows the .1 surround effects channel to be handled with ease, avoiding the installation of further sub units.
The 32 element, 4th order passive crossovers are housed in external enclosures which can be mounted to the rear of the XBD cabinets for improved fidelity.XB2 Subwoofer XBD Bass Cabinet
The XB2 is a passive sub bass unit that is best optimized in an MB2 surround monitoring system. The line design and driver technology are identical to that of the MB2 and MB2-A, forming a perfect blend of dynamics and depth of bass required for the most testing of material. The unique 12" Radial™ driver features two cooling systems.In addition to the conventional rear vented magnet it uses the patented, front mounted Radial™ chassis, which acts as a giant heatsink. This keeps voice coil and magnet temperatures exceptionally low resulting in superb reliability, 3dB less power compression and tight, clean bass even after prolonged periods of high SPL.
