TS-WH500A Active Subwoofer System. With Revolutionary Horizontal-Vertical Transforming Technology
Pioneer is excited to launch the world's first in-car product with Horizontal-Vertical Transforming Technology: The TS-WH500A Active Subwoofer System.
Horizontal-Vertical Transforming (HVT) technology is a truly groundbreaking approach in loudspeaker design. HVT technology uses a unique linkage mechanism, which allows the magnet and voice coil of a speaker to be positioned at the left and the right side of the speaker diaphragm. This opposed to conventional loudspeaker systems, where the magnet and voice coil have to be placed behind the speaker’s diaphragm. HVT technology brings significant advantages in comparison to conventional speaker designs, both sound wise and on a practical level.
Distortion: no more Loudspeakers have to vibrate to turn audio signals into audible music. However, any unwanted vibrations of the loudspeakers will distort the musical signal. The Horizontal-Vertical Transforming topology that is used in the TS-WH500A results in far less unwanted vibrations, compared to traditional speaker designs. As a consequence, the sound is much cleaner and free of harmonic distortion.
The thinner, the better? It’s possible to design shallow conventional loudspeakers, but this might lead to poor sound quality with limited dynamics and restricted bass. An HVT speaker however, has an exceptionally thin design, without any sacrifice on sound quality. The 150 watts TS-WH500A active subwoofer measures only 18 x 10 x 6 cm (LxWxH), but offers the same sound pressure level as a much bigger, conventional subwoofer. Thanks to the extremely thin design, the TS-WH500A can go where no other subwoofer has gone before. In many cars, the TS-WH500A can even be installed under the front seats.
User profile The TS-WH500A Active Subwoofer System is the perfect solution for situations in which the existing in-car audio system lacks the power, depth and quality to reproduce the music as it was originally intended by the artists or when space is too restricted to install a traditional subwoofer.
