Designed to be installed into the fabric of the property, visible only by way of the port vent, Amina subwoofers offer smooth low frequency extension with minimal visual impact.
With bass performance that can add warmth or shake a room when needed, the range of passive subwoofers compliment the range of Amina VPT loudspeakers to help deliver a breathtaking full bandwidth experience.
Inside ALF40:
The entry-level passive bass-enhancer that can add warmth to music and television whilst remaining easy to install into a ceiling or into cabinetry.
Using a 4th order bandpass design, the ALF40 can play at medium level whilst only having a small circular visible vent into the room.
Built in filtering and protection circuits mean that the ALF40 can be powered from a 60W amplifier delivering full-bandwidth content.
Amina Tip:
All Amina subwoofers and bass enhancers can have their port location adjusted, giving great installation flexibility. The ability to adjust port location allows the unit to be installed in with an appropriate cabinet orientation to suit construction restraints. ALF40 and ALF120 have two port location options (end and front-fire), ALF80 has three port location options (end, side and front-fire).
ALF40 can be mounted directly to stud frame using the supplied metal mounting L-brackets.
Port tube can be relocated to one of 2 port-opening positions and can have it’s length adjusted to perfectly match the depth of the ceiling void (maximum adjustment 80mm).
Note:
Port tube can be adjusted, but should never be replaced, bent, extended or blocked. Doing so will impact the performance of the subwoofer.
Being a passive unit, the ALF40 requires external amplification. Given that both protection and filtering are both built in to the subwoofer itself, the unit can be powered by a 60W amplifier delivering full-bandwidth content.
The ALF40 can be powered by its own dedicated amplifier channel, alternatively it may be wired in parallel to a single Amina VPT loudspeaker panel.
Note:
Please take care to match total impedance load to the amplifier when wiring subwoofers and speakers in parallel. It is not wise to wire two subwoofers in parallel to each other, however it is possible to wire an 8 Ohm subwoofer in parallel to an 8 Ohm loudspeaker panel without affecting overall load that the amplifier will see. For example, the ALF40 can be wired in parallel to an iQ3 and still appear as an 8 Ohm total load.
