ELAC Varro DS1200 Subwoofer

Description

Varro DS1200-GB 12″ Dual Reference Powered Subwoofer

POWERFUL – BOLD – DYNAMIC
Experience the incredible sound of Elac’s iconic Dual Reference Series Subwoofer – this single subwoofer can power your sound system with even, precisely tuned, crystal-clear bass. Their state-of-the-art technology delivers a clean, balanced low-frequency experience, with two powerful bass drivers with excellent linearity, producing tight and accurate bass, with minimal distortion. Perfectly tuned for the most demanding movies or music.

ELAC IS FIRST
To introduce APP control subwoofers – Calibration from a phone – Control multiple subwoofers simultaneously.

CUSTOM DESIGN
High Gloss painted, elegant, and acoustically balanced 36mm cabinet. Damped and internally braced to eliminate unwanted resonance for maximum performance.

CUSTOM DRIVER
Aluminium sandwich cone with a large 2.5 voice coil for increased power handling and thermal management, resulting in higher output and SPL.

CUSTOM AMPLIFIER
Powerful BASH amplifier with Dual 4-channel DSP and 32-Bit DACs. Built-in wireless receiver and BLE App control.

DSP DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
A dual 28-Bit DSP with a 147mHz master clock frequency is utilised to process audio signals with high accuracy and minimum latency.

Hex Technology
Surround
Surround geometry allows for a very linear relationship between applied force and resulting displacement in both directions. This ensures faithful reproduction of the recorded signal with low distortion even at high playback volumes.

Aluminium Sandwich Woofer
HEX Technology
These new high excursion woofers utilise a rigid and lightweight aluminium cone sandwiched between two treated paper cones using a unique gluing process. This method retains the transient benefits of cellulose cones with the torsional rigidity of aluminium and allows for exceptionally long cone throws for better handling of high signal levels and low bass.

Wireless Ready
AirX2
All Reference Series Subwoofers have a wireless receiver built-in. Simply add the optional AirX2 Wireless transmitter, connect it to your AV receiver, and you can wirelessly transmit subwoofer information to up to 3 Reference Subwoofers simultaneously.

Subwoofer APP Control
Eliminate the challenges of placement
As the pioneer of APP-controlled subwoofers, all 7 Elac subwoofers include their 3rd generation APP control with auto room correction and easy setup of multiple subwoofers. Advanced APP ControlDoing away with traditional analogue controls, their VARRO subwoofers incorporate Elac’s advanced digital control system. Simply download the ELAC Sub Control 3.0 app for your Android or iOS phone or tablet and you have complete control of multiple subwoofers from the comfort of your sofa.

Auto EQ
Explained
Placement of a subwoofer can be challenging. This is because typically they are placed in corners or hidden next to couches causing reflection, peaks or valleys. The principle of ELACs Auto EQ, is to remove the effect of the room by making a near field measurement and comparing it to a far field (listening position) measurement. Processing and detection is real time FFT ~1Hz resolution in the 20Hz… 200Hz band. Elac measure both near field and far field, compare the measurements and with 16 internal PEQs they remove/minimise any large variances relative to the near field measurement. This allows a greater degree of freedom for placing the subwoofer where it meets all requirements.

Auto Room EQ
Auto EQ
Finding the perfect location for your subwoofer can be difficult or just not visually appealing. Utilising their new Sub Control 3.0 app and your smartphone microphone, the subwoofer will optimise room EQ automatically, allowing greater flexibility in placement without sacrificing performance.

DSP
Digital Signal Processor
A dual 28-Bit DSP with a 147mHz master clock frequency is utilised to process audio signals with high accuracy and minimum latency.

Amplification
BASH Amplifier
All seven models utilise BASH technology. Simply put, there is no better amplifier for subwoofers. Its tracking voltage means that the amplifiers can be designed with maximum voltage swing, providing all the power that is needed and additional dynamic power without thermal penalty. ELAC subwoofers play louder than the competition for a given power. That is because higher voltage allows higher power as, inevitably, the impedance of a driver increases with frequency. More power + compelling dynamic = better subwoofers!

VARRO Subwoofers
BOLD – POWERFUL – DYNAMIC
VARRO is a male-given name and is of Latin origin. It means durable and strong. What better name to introduce a line of ELAC subwoofers designed for total performance and ready to excel and compete at all levels.
