Powersoft advances its M-Force technology
The M-Force 301P02 is a new iteration of Powersoft’s M-Force linear transducer originally launched in 2013. It is described as a complete solution that enables all levels of speaker builders to incorporate the M-Force into any design, both in self-powered and passive configurations. The motor is factory matched to a purposely built diaphragm, through a newly designed coupling and a lightweight chassis that helps improve thermal dissipation, while the addition of a front spider aims to further stabilise the design. The new reference designs have been created to help users increase the SPL capabilities of their systems. All of the designs are free and come along with a cut list and presets that can be managed using the company’s ArmoníaPlus software.
The EDM SUB bandpass design features two M-Force 301P02 transducers, which can be built both as a self-powered or passive infra-sub, driven either by an M-Drive amplifier module coupled with a DSPL ETH or an X4L amplifier platform, respectively. When powered by an X4L, the sub can be connected to a Dante network. The design has been optimised for producing ultra-high SPLs down to 18Hz. The four available presets provide coverage for different music programs: Standard, Punch, Infra and a Cardioid version of the Standard preset.
The DV SUB is a bandpass cabinet loaded with the M-Force 301P02 transducer for subwoofer applications. The design has been optimised for producing very high SPLs down to 28Hz in a compact package, reportedly making the DV SUB an ideal upgrade for an existing subwoofer, eliminating non-linear distortions. Two presets are available – Standard and Punch – each of which is also available for cardioid configurations.
The CINESUB is a hybrid transmission line cabinet loaded with the M-Force 301P02 transducer for infra and subwoofer applications. The design has been optimised for producing low distortion and high SPLs from 16–120Hz, as per Dolby and THX recommendations. As a result, one single unit can reportedly replace four double 18-inch speakers, making the CINESUB suitable for low-frequency systems in cinemas. The modular design can be used in both single and double cabinet configurations, and both presets are available for linear and minimum phase setups.
