JBL Synthesis SSW-1

Dual 15-inch (380mm) Passive Subwoofer

The SSW-1 is a custom in-room/built-in subwoofer and is the flagship of the JBL Synthesis SSW subwoofer range. It features dual 15-inch (380mm) high-excursion cast-frame woofers in a heavily-braced, front-ported enclosure constructed from 1-inch MDF throughout. The SSW-1 delivers extreme low-frequency performance and high SPL output levels for custom installations in large to extra-large rooms. 

This ultra-high-performance subwoofer is designed specifically to complement the acoustic capabilities of the SCL-1 large format LCR loudspeaker. Designed for application in large scale systems, the SSW-1 Subwoofer features dual high-excursion (4” peak-to-peak) 15” cast-frame woofers with composite cones and massive 6-inch voice coils.

The configuration of the enclosure allows it to be positioned vertically or laid on its side horizontally for tremendous placement flexibility in applications including built-in, behind screen, or in-room.

The 53.5-inch high x 24-inch wide x 22.8-inch deep subwoofer enclosure is solidly constructed with 1-inch thick cabinet walls and extensive internal bracing throughout and weighs in at more than 330 pounds! It also includes a steel-frame, magnetically-attached cloth grille.

Enclosure tuning is via dual front-firing Slipstream ports, while connectivity is provided through two sets of gold-plated, spring-loaded binding posts — one for each woofer. With power handling of 2500W RMS per woofer and 5000W RMS per system, as well as extremely high SPL output and usable low-frequency extension to 13Hz, the SSW-1 seeks to provide the highest levels of sonic performance for custom home theatre.
