The BQ211 is a quarter-wave loaded subwoofer
system, extending the low frequency response of
Alcons’ pro-ribbon systems, in both permanent
and portable applications. Featuring a state-ofthe-
art 21” Neodymium transducer, this subwoofer
is designed to offer maximum, prolonged high
impact SPL performance from a relative small
footprint. For this, the latest materials and
innovations have been applied: A very large
displacement transducer with all-carbon fiber
cone + dust cap, 5.3” voice-coil with vented
triple-spider frame plus optimized low resistance
impedance, and port-vented magnet structure to
maximally reduce power compression.
The extensively internally-braced cabinet features
features double-tuned, high-pressure loading,
through a rounded 236mm diameter low-tuned
bass-reflex vent and a wide, high-tuned quarter wave
tunnel. This provides optimised breathing at high
SPLs, yet keeping the total system weight to a minimum.
Slider feet on cabinet bottom and side enable
stacking of multiple BQ211’s into vertical LF arrays:
The additional front-positioned NL4 connector caters
for easy “reverse connection” in cardioid arrays.
The BQ211 is powered and controlled by the ALC
amplified loudspeaker controller; Through the SDP™
(Speaker Drive Processor) circuit, the ALC offers
BQ211-specific drive processing with response
optimisation, dedicated power and excursion
protection, hybrid filtering and cardoid processing.
Through the SIS™ (Signal Integrity Sensing) circuit,
the cable-length and connector resistance between
the BQ211 and ALC is completely compensated
(damping factor 10.000), further increasing
response accuracy.
The quarter wave pipe principle in combination
with a low tuning frequency, forms a true wideband
subwoofer with high SPL performance down to the
lowest frequencies.
Typical applications for the BQ211 include groundstacked
sub-bass extension of main sound systems,
used in multiples depending on the application and
sound pressure level / dispersion pattern control
requirements. |
