Product Description

Product Description

The Cambridge SoundWorks Newton P500 Powered Subwoofer uses two 8-inch woofers and a 500-watt B.A.S.H.® (Bridged Amplifier Switching Hybrid) digital amplifier, delivering thunderous bass, tightly and accurately, down to 24Hz - all in a remarkably small, one-foot-square cabinet! The separate Subwoofer Control Module keeps the controls and connections conveniently near your equipment. You can even adjust bass output using an infrared remote control -- no more crawling on your knees to adjust bass when you switch from music to movies.

Featuring: Dual 8-inch polymer laminate diaphragm side-firing drivers 500-watt B.A.S.H. amplifier Blonde maple, mahogany wood veneer or slate-gray finishes Separate Control Module with IR remote control Hum-free optically-isolated balanced signal interface Continuously variable low-pass filter from 50-150Hz with 48dB/octave slope Continuously adjustable 0-180 degree phase control Semi-parametric bass equalization with +/- 6dB range Speaker level, line level, LFE inputs Dimensions: 13.5H x 13.75W x 12D Newton Subwoofer Control Module included

Newton Subwoofer Control Module

The separate Subwoofer Control Module used by Newton Series powered subwoofers gives you ultimate control and wiring flexibility. Connect the Module to your amplifier or receiver using either line outputs, speaker wire outputs or the subwoofer output of a Dolby Digital® receiver. The module allows you to adjust both the subwoofer output level and the crossover frequency (variable from 50Hz to 150Hz). It also allows you to equalize the output of the subwoofer to match your room acoustics. You choose an equalization center point anywhere between 20Hz and 60Hz, and then adjust output up or down 6dB in that range. If you place the sub in a corner and it produces too much bass, you can cut the output. If the sub is placed away from a wall and produces too little bass, you can boost output for full, rich low-frequency sound.

Subwoofer Control Module Features: 0-180 degree continuous phase control for ultra-precise matching of phase response with the system's main speakers The Subwoofer Control Module sends the bass signals to the subwoofer via RJ11 phone cable, which can't pick up any hum, even at great lengths Accepts preamp and speaker level inputs, has high-pass preamp level output for stereo systems Motorized volume control with IR remote Will accept left, right and center inputs, as well as dedicated sub inputs

Blonde Maple, also available in Mahogany and Slate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Subwoofer, November 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series P500 Powered Subwoofer (Blonde Maple) (Electronics)

I've used powered subwoofers in my audio systems for 10 years. Some good, some not so good. The P500 is GREAT. The crossover allows precison adjustment to complement both my speakers and the room. ( I only have a stereo system so I use the P500 for music rather than to watch movies.)The speakers I currently use are much more efficient than most and until I discovered the P500 I was having problems matching them to a subwoofer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Subwoofer with style, November 8, 2002

This review is from: Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series P500 Powered Subwoofer (Blonde Maple) (Electronics)

Most subwoofers I've heard just thud along. The Cambridge P500 is really musical, with a clarity I normally don't hear from a woofer. It's small. It looks very cool. And I love the remote control. I don't have to crawl around on all fours to change the bass level. I prefer it to several [more expensive] subwoofers I listened to.
