Just one year after the launch its TAPCO S5 and S8 Active Studio Monitors, LOUDTechnologies is introducing the new SW10 Active Studio Subwoofer into the TAPCO family at this year's AES Convention in San Francisco. Like the TAPCO S5 and S8, the new TAPCO SW10 also benefits from the same design expertise that has made the Mackie HR Series studio monitors. The SW10 features the same construction and distinctive industrial design as the S-Series monitors. The on-board amplifier supplies the 10-inch woofer with a 120 watts of continuous power. Rear panel connections include one pair of XLR balanced inputs and one pair of RCA unbalanced inputs. Stereo high-pass outputs are provided in the form of XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced. Input sensitivity and polarity controls are provided as well. The SW10's sophisticated 4th-order, 24dB/octive Linkwitz-Riley crossover that is variable independently from 55-110Hz on both the left and right channels. Ray Tantzen explains, "By providing independent crossover controls for both channel 1 & 2, the SW10 can be multi-purposed in a 5.1 configuration. Channel 1 can receive a summed 5-channel input that is set to a crossover point that best complements the speakers in your surround system and channel 2 can receive the LFE input with a separate crossover setting (usually 80Hz - 110Hz)." The TAPCO SW10 will be available in early 2005 and carry a manufacturers' suggested retail price of $419 USD. TAPCO S5 and S8 Active Studio Monitors are currently available from authorized TAPCO dealers. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.tapcogear.com/.
