ALPHA SERIES > ACTIVE SUBWOOFER
DEEP, PUNCHY BASS FOR CINEMA-READY PERFORMANCE
The Magnat Alpha RS 12 is a powerful active subwoofer, specially designed for discerning bass lovers. Equipped with a 12″ / 30 cm long-throw woofer, a highly efficient Class D amplifier, and a resonance-optimized enclosure, it delivers a powerful, deep bass foundation. This makes it ideal for modern home cinema systems as well as demanding HiFi setups.
Whether spectacular movie effects or a noticeable extension of musical depth – the RS 12 gives your sound system raw power, impressive clarity, and precise control.
Experience bass as it should be heard – powerful, rich, and deeply immersive. Equipped with a powerful 12″ / 30 cm woofer, the Alpha RS 12 is capable of reproducing frequencies down to 20 Hz – for bass you don't just hear, but feel.
The integrated Class D amplifier delivers up to 240 watts of peak power and ensures precise control even at high volumes. Whether it's the thunderous rumble of an explosion in a movie or the subtle pulse of a bass line – this subwoofer impressively brings your home cinema or music system to life.
The Alpha RS 12 integrates effortlessly into almost any system – whether modern or classic. It features both RCA inputs (low-level) and high-level speaker inputs, allowing it to be connected to AV receivers, stereo amplifiers, and even vintage setups without a subwoofer pre-out.
An adjustable crossover frequency (50–150 Hz), a switchable phase switch, and the auto-standby function (<0.5 W) ensure easy setup and energy-efficient operation.
Whether used in a 5.1, 7.2, or stereo system – the RS 12 adds crucial low-frequency energy to the soundstage and transforms the entire sonic presentation. By relieving the main speakers of reproducing deep frequencies, it improves detail resolution, extends dynamics, and gives movies, music, and gaming an impressively realistic presence.
From massive cinematic explosions to the finest bass nuances – this subwoofer completes your system with immersive authenticity.
OUR TECHNOLOGIES
ENGINEERED FOR POWERFUL BASS
The Alpha subwoofer delivers deep and precise bass thanks to a meticulously engineered combination of components. Its advanced magnetic system ensures stable and accurate woofer movement, reducing distortion even at high volumes. A vented voice coil prevents overheating and ensures reliable performance during long listening sessions. The stiff, coated paper cone is designed to move evenly and respond quickly to changes in the audio signal, resulting in clear, powerful bass sound that adds real impact to your music and movies.
FRONT-FIRING SUBWOOFER WITH AIRFLEX PORT TECHNOLOGY
The Alpha RS subwoofers feature a front-firing design combined with a dual reflex port configuration, designed for maximum acoustic efficiency. The two Airflex ports are precisely tuned to minimize air turbulence and port noise even at high volumes, ensuring clean and distortion-free bass reproduction. This front-facing arrangement enhances the radiation of low frequencies and allows for more flexible placement in the room, achieving uniform, powerful bass reproduction over a wide listening area.
EFFICIENT CLASS D AMPLIFICATION WITH FLEXIBLE SETTINGS
The Magnat RS 12 features a powerful and efficient Class D amplifier that delivers precise, dynamic bass with minimal heat generation. Designed for seamless integration into any AV system, it includes active frequency response correction (LPC circuit) up to 150 Hz, ensuring smooth transitions between the subwoofer and main speakers. The amplifier offers flexible settings with adjustable volume, crossover frequency, and a switchable phase from 0° to 180°. Equally versatile are the connection options with stereo high-level inputs via screw terminals. For added convenience and energy efficiency, the RS 12 has an automatic standby function with extremely low power consumption of under 0.5 watts and supports universal AC voltages from 110 V to 240 V at 50/60 Hz.
ROBUST, LOW-RESONANCE ENCLOSURE WITH ACOUSTIC DECOUPLING
The Magnat RS 8 features a robust, low-resonance MDF enclosure designed for both performance and versatility.
Large feet with resonance-damping rubber inserts ensure optimal decoupling from the floor, reducing vibrations and improving sound clarity. A removable front grille offers flexibility in terms of aesthetics and protection, allowing the RS 12 to seamlessly blend into any home cinema or HiFi environment.
