The Dynaudio AIR Base 12 is a recent addition to the AIR series, and with a total frequency response of 22 Hz - 200 Hz and 500 watts of amplification, this subwoofer delivers a clear and crisp punch to the bottom.

The subwoofer sports a new class D amp developed at the TC Electronic laboratories, which will assure "top of the line" quality and an abundance of power and reliability. On top of that the AIR Base 12 comes with a new 12" woofer that was specifically designed for low frequency reproduction and extremely tight impulse response.

AIR Base 12 is a compact and dedicated AIR series active subwoofer. Intended for smaller and medium size rooms, AIR Base 12 offers the high performance that has become the trademark of Dynaudio Acoustics' AIR Series. Use one AIR Base 12 with e.g. AIR 6 or 15 in smaller rooms, or link several Base 12's in bigger rooms with e.g. AIR 20 or 25 and increase the acoustic output with each additional unit.

Through the TC Link (proprietary AIR network) AIR Base 12 integrates with AIR series monitors and delivers unique features such as advanced bass management and a wealth of other tweaking possibilities. This subwoofer will be an ideal complement for both stereo and multichannel setups like:

Editing suites.

Post Production facilities.

Music recording and mixing studios.

Larger OB vans.

DVD authoring and mastering.

Stereo and Multichannel production.

Combining technology from Dynaudio and TC, AIR Base 12 offers ultimate precision and total integration with AIR Series. AIR Base subwoofers can be used only with AIR Series monitors.
