Ascendant Audio SMD Series – Blade ICE Import the Bad Boys

The SMD Signature Series of subwoofers comes from working with Steve Meade and his monster installs for close to a decade. Seeing the progression of subwoofer and amplifier technology, we have put pen to paper and designed several new technologies to help push things to the next level. Starting with the obvious, the motor, it is a Super Gauss dual flux path motor with incredible motor strength, not possible before from a Ferrite motor structure. Integrating our 4in EMB coil topology to the system provides electro-mechanical braking to linearise flux. Having all of this motor force and linearity are no good if you can’t handle power thermally. Every SMD woofer produced spends a significant amount of time on one of our 4-axis CNCs, machining the Dyna cool system into the internal parts of the motor structure. Utilising cooling channels and specific paths in both the gap plates and pole piece, we can extend the thermal capacity of the sub out to 3,500W RMS in its normal range of musical operation. Keeping it mechanically under control is a 7-spider Tri-point suspension system with integrated lead wires capable of handling tremendous current.
All of these technologies culminate in the pinnacle of daily driving subwoofer performance. Working in ported enclosures much smaller than the average sub, you can get displacement never before possible in tiny spaces, often allowing you to step up to the next size driver for even more output capability.
