Lowest Octave Redesigned...
Nailing the lowest octave-settings and translating it precisely from a studio to any listening situation is the foremost challenge for any contemporary music production. The fragmented playback environment demands extreme precision in the process of music creation and sound editing, especially when it comes to modern, bass-heavy production.
A single mono subwoofer is part of a movie format, but Amphion does not believe it is good enough to be used in music production. In music, it is necessary to keep the stereo information throughout the whole frequency band. Amphion’s FlexBase25 presents you with an unconventional approach to subwoofer design that will satisfy even the most demanding producers or sound engineers.
The FlexBase is a stereo bass extension and management system with a separate LFE-channel input. The crossover frequency is variable between 35-260 Hz, which allows changing the flavour of the system to match the task at hand. The ability to adjust the mono/stereo spread ensures that the system integrates even when higher crossover points are used. The LFE input has +10dB sensitivity compared to the main channels, but no built-in low pass filtering. Unlike the conventional subwoofers, the system is designed to be easy to set-up and intuitive to use.
Pair it with One12, One15, Two15 or One18 for a smaller room full range system or place it with behind the console while keeping your One18, Two15 or Two18 on the meter bridge.
Features
- Variable crossover frequency allows changing the flavour of the system to match the specifics of the various production tasks.
- Mono/stereo spread adjustment to ensure precise system-integration, even when higher crossover points are used.
- Fast and simple-to-set-up, easily adapting to a large variety of projects and acoustic environments.
In detail
Total control for maximum impact
Amphion’s FlexBase25 in a modern approach to subwoofer design. FlexBase25 is room friendly and equally suited for studio acoustics as well as less-treated home studio environments. It is easy to setup and intuitive to adjust. FlexBase25 is a single box, stereo base extension system, which is placed in the centre line between the main speakers.
Wide adjustment possibilities over crossover frequency (35-260 Hz), subwoofer level, as well as the mono-stereo spread, allow FlexBase25 to address the needs of a rapidly changing landscape of modern music-making. With a turn of a few dials, the system adapts to any task you happen to be working on. It can be fat, fun, and vibey when writing and producing. It will be precise, correct, and analytical when putting the finishing touches on a track or a film score.
FlexBase25 does not work like a conventional subwoofer. It does not only add, it transforms. FlexBase25 turns your 2-way monitor into a 3-way full range system, which increases the monitor’s headroom radically. Pair it with One12 or One15 for an ultra fast, easy to adjust small room full-range system. Place it behind your console and let it blend seamlessly with your One18, Two15 ore Two18 monitor, are located on a meter bridge. When you want to dial in on the midrange the by-pass function allows you to use your monitors for a narrower midrange view.
While FlexBase25 is naturally optimised for Amphion products, it blends well with other studio monitors as well.
