Amplifier Is A Speaker Terminal For Subwoofer Box
Orca Design and Manufacturing announced it is shipping the Gladen ATM, a micro amplifier that replaces the speaker terminal in a subwoofer box to create a powered subwoofer enclosure.
The ATM (Active Terminal Module) replaces the enclosure’s standard 78mm circular speaker terminal with a 200-watt mono amplifier, measuring just under five inches deep and available in two- or four-ohm versions. The design allows retailers to internally amplify any pre-built or custom sub enclosure with a low cost solution.
The Gladen ATM uses a Molex connector for power, ground and audio inputs, alongside a button that selects between low- and speaker-level input.
It automatically detects signal input to turn it on and off. The built-in, low-pass filter lets the installer match the output of the ATM to the subwoofer and enclosure with variable volume and crossover adjustment between 50 and 120Hz. An optional subwoofer volume control (RTC-2) can be plugged into the ATM and mounted within the driver’s reach.
