Ken Kreisel invented the world's first powered subwoofer (active subwoofer) in 1977. After decades of research and development, Ken Kreisel still produces the most state-of-the-art and excellent-sounding subwoofers in the world. The DXD1000 flagship subwoofer is the upgraded version of the renowned DXD12012.
The dual push-pull amplifiers and dual push-pull drivers provide the ultimate bass reproduction. You can have insanely high SPL, lightning-fast transient responses, extremely low distortions. The DXD1000 is made for people who want nothing but the best performance for music and movies.
By using the push-pull design of two drivers in a single subwoofer, the DXD1000 doubles the bass output. The 3D Push-Pull-Pulsar technology also allows one to stack the DXD1000 to improve performance. Ken Kreisel suggests stacking up to four subwoofers to increase the SPL output and provide a more even deep bass throughout the room by radiating the low frequency at a room-height line array. This feature offers excellent versatility and enables the Ken Kreisel subwoofers series to fit various spaces.
Ken Kreisel produces the subwoofers with 3D Push-Pull Pulsar technology, making them stackable. The system achieves a push-pull arrangement when stacking two or four DXD1000 subwoofers. Stacking two subwoofers increases the SPL by 6dB, and stacking four subwoofers increases the SPL by 12dB.
Ken Kreisel recommends using two or more subwoofers in any audio system, and stacking is preferred if possible to obtain bass vertically. The push-pull arrangement increases the overall system output and dynamic range and minimizes the harmonic distortions. Additionally, the workload of each subwoofer is reduced, and a more precise and accurate low frequency is achieved.
All Ken Kreisel Subwoofers and Satellites are sealed design. While most speakers nowadays adopt the vented(bass-reflex) design to squeeze more bass out but at the same time makes the sound muddier and sloppier, KK speakers insist on using the sealed design to deliver the more accurate, punchier, and tighter sound.
Sealed design enables you to experience the clean and authoritative deep bass and ultra-fast transient response. Unlike the vented design, which may play fairly loud but boomy, Ken Kreisel speakers are well controlled. The more precise sound, superior definition, textures and faithful music reproduction are why Ken Kreisel speakers are loved by many professional musicians, audio engineers, and sound enthusiasts.
A complete Ken Kreisel system requires the satellite speakers and the subwoofers to both participate in sound reproduction. The system can minimize weak bass, incorrect phase, and baffle diffraction distortions often found in conventional full-range systems. Every listening room is different and has a significant influence on sound quality. With the Ken Kreisel satellite/subwoofer system, you can easily locate the satellites at the best place for imaging and the subwoofers at the best position for strong bass. The high flexibility and the smooth integration of Ken Kreisel subwoofers and satellites enable one to achieve the best possible sound in any room, resulting in an open, natural three-dimensional sound.
