Uniquely Designed Amplifiers

 

Specifically conceived for one job

 

Each Totem subwoofer amplifier is designed with a specific set of parameters for a single goal; to power the particular drivers within its given enclosure, all designed in tandem.  Simply put, each Totem subwoofer amplifier is unique.  As unique as every Totem driver.  They are designed in tandem so they work harmoniously and with ultimate efficiency, attaining the maximum from each other.  Throughout the design process the amplifier is tweaked and modified until it perfectly combines power and musicality.

Connectivity Options  

Go wired or wireless

Stereo RCA and LFE inputs offer the wired connection options cover all modern gear. But, it is also equipped with an integrated Bluetooth receiver so the optional LINK transmitter can be added for wireless connectivity.

Sealed Enclosure  

Better performance and versatility  

 

The trapped air inside a sealed enclosure acts as a spring, dampening the movement of the woofer, and smoothly modulating the cone’s motion. This translates to notes being produced evenly for natural, musical, clear bass output.  They can also be placed very close to boundaries or even within furniture with very little, if any, affect on their performance.

Ultra Low-Profile Anti-Resonance Feet

Eliminate unwanted vibrations  

These feet help acoustically isolate the cabinet from the floor, preventing resonances, vibrations, and other unwanted effects that can have negative effects on the performance. It is strongly recommended that they be used so the subwoofer can perform at its full potential.

Bass Reflex Enclosure  

Slot Port

The slot port is methodically designed to tune the enclosure to the lowest possible frequency, while maintaining impact, musicality, and depth.  It tunes the cabinet in the same manner a port tunes a speaker, and allows the subwoofer to produce size defying bass.
