Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Sub1 is a 480W powered bass module that brings low-frequency support down to 40Hz in a compact cabinet. Its 7 x 13 inch high-excursion RaceTrack driver is designed to deliver the impact associated with a conventional 12 inch woofer while keeping the enclosure slim for mobile setups. Connect it to an L1 Pro32 with the included SubMatch cable, or use its XLR or 1/4 inch inputs with a third-party PA. Two stacked modules can engage Cardioid Mode for forward-directed bass.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Portable PA rigs needing low-end support down to 40Hz in a compact enclosure
  • L1 Pro32 systems using the included SubMatch cable for power, digital audio, and calibration
  • Outdoor events or stages where two stacked modules can focus bass forward

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Single-module setups requiring Cardioid Mode; that mode uses two stacked Sub1 modules.
