About The JL Audio Fathom f112v2 Subwoofer

The f112v2 is a powered subwoofer with a 12" (305mm) Bass Driver and 1,800 Watts of Power.

The Fathom f112v2 is a superb subwoofer solution in medium-sized rooms and is equally at home supporting a music-only system or a home theatre system. The combination of an ultra-long throw W7 12-inch driver and a very powerful switching amplifier give it the kind of output normally associated with far larger subwoofer systems.

Because it is built with the same driver and amplifier technology as JL Audio's flagship Gotham®, the f112v2 delivers a tremendous level of sound quality. Low distortion, excellent dynamic capabilities and shockingly deep bass extension will allow you to experience all the excitement of the most demanding cinematic material, while also being able to reproduce all the nuance and texture of your most delicate musical material.

A complete set of signal processing features is easily accessible on the front panel of every Fathom. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, variable phase, switchable polarity, e.l.f. trim and JL Audio's powerful Digital Automatic Room Optimisation (D.A.R.O.) system.

A calibrated microphone is included for the D.A.R.O. system. Input connections are made via unbalanced RCA connections or balanced Neutrik® combo XLR/TRS jacks. Also included is an XLR output to connect a second Fathom® as a slave unit.

About Fathom: Fathom® subwoofers are ideal for larger spaces thanks to their higher efficiency and higher power output. The combination of ultra-long throw W7-HT drivers and a very powerful switching amplifier result in jaw-dropping performance capabilities at any listening level.

Built Like No Other: The Fathom assembly process brings together all the key component groups: drivers, electronics, wire harnesses and enclosures. A single technician assumes responsibility for the complete assembly process. The finished units make a short trip to the testing room for a series of critical performance and electrical tests.

Technology: JL Audio's engineering department is at the forefront of research into fundamental loudspeaker behaviour. They have developed proprietary electromagnetic and suspension analysis systems and invested heavily in state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing. This has produced subwoofer drivers widely considered as reference standards for linear displacement and dynamic stability. It has also resulted in numerous U.S. and International Patents issued for technologies that refine and extend the performance envelope of the dynamic driver.
