JL Audio shows off two subwoofers and an active stand-mount speaker at CEDIA
Whether you follow the "heard, not seen" subwoofer school or not, JL Audio has you covered with its CEDIA showing that continues to tease with the long-awaited Fathom f212 and a yet-to-come Fathom IWS in-wall model to satisfy your bass craving. The Fathom IWS is designed to fit in standard stud spacing and packs a pair of 13.5-inch drivers that are set in motion by an outboard amplifier, plumbing the depths to the tune of 25Hz (-3dB). For the rest of the frequency range, JL Audio is showing off the Primacy X3 -- an active (1,000-Watt) stand-mounted speaker with DSP crossovers for crazy steep cutoffs that maintain phase integrity. There's no pricing or availability info on the Primacy X3, but the Fathom IWS will ship in Q1 2009 for $4,500 for a single module, $7,500 for a pair, and the Fathom f212 should start showing up in October for $6,000.
