It handles 500 W continuous (AES) at 8 Ω, with 98 dB sensitivity and 125 dB maximum SPL. The black plywood cabinet is sized to fit bars, restaurants, retail floors, clubs and multi-purpose rooms where a full-size sub would be too large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC BASO12\/B 12\" bass reflex subwoofer work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/BASO12-B.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC BASO12\/B compact 12 inch bass reflex subwoofer cabinet in black\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BASO12\/B loads a single 12\" ferrite woofer with a low-loss suspension into a bass reflex enclosure tuned to 45 Hz. That design gives a response of 40 Hz – 300 Hz (±3 dB), extending to 35 Hz at -10 dB, so it pairs well with compact full-range loudspeakers in background and foreground music systems. The woofer sits in an impact-resistant die-cast frame, and the cabinet is built from 0.71\" (18 mm) plywood with a structured coating and an 18-gauge steel grille. Two Speakon-compatible connectors sit in a recessed connector dish, allowing link-through to additional cabinets and letting the sub be placed close to a wall or corner. As a passive cabinet, it needs an external power amplifier and a crossover or DSP to set the low-pass filter, such as an AUDAC \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-smq500-smq-series-power-amplifier-4-x-500w-4-ohms-2-ru-optional-dante-expansion-ani44xt\"\u003eSMQ500\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-sma500-sma-series-power-amplifier-2-x-500w-4-ohms-2-ru-optional-dante-expansion-ani44xt\"\u003eSMA500\u003c\/a\u003e power amplifier.
