GoldenEar Introduces ForceField 30 & ForceField 40 Ultra-Compact Extended-Response Subwoofers

GoldenEar’s award-winning ForceField Series subwoofers are engineered from the ground up to deliver subtle musical detail, well-extended bass, high-impact slam, and the solid foundation for an expansive soundstage — all from attractive, compact enclosures that easily fit into any environment.     The design brief was simple: achieve uncompromising, state-of-the-art subwoofer performance from the smallest-possible enclosures. Compared to previous models, the new ForceField 30 and 40 boast several significant sonic and cosmetic refinements.  Compact, Elegant Cabinet:  Designed for Performance and Beauty GoldenEar BRX model-inspired curved top panel to better minimize cabinet resonances  Increased wall thickness prevents absorbing and smearing important bass transient information and impact  Perforated-metal grille affords improved sonic transparency and airflow   Gorgeous and subtle Satin-Black finish Robust, Efficient Amplifier:  Upgraded Electronics Platform Based on the Award-Winning SuperSub X/XXL GoldenEar SuperSub-inspired electronics with Analog Devices DSP affords flatter, more extended frequency response for cleaner, deeper bass with lower distortion  MOSFET output stage and improved implementation result in greater power-transfer efficiency   Necessary subwoofer Level and Low-Pass filter controls allow easy optimization for home theaters, hi-fi setups, and living environments Optimized Driver Configuration:  Superb Detail, Soul-Stirring Bass  Ultra-Long-Throw Sub-Bass Driver  Superior transient performance for natural detail  Computer-optimized ultra-stiff fiber cone  Massive high-gauss magnet assembly Quadratic Planar Infrasonic Radiator Downward-firing pressure-coupled loading extends usable bass performance to the infrasonic region  Approximates the near-perfect impedance of a well-tuned transmission line, but with superior transient performance and control  Affords outstanding flexibility for room placement  The overall result is agile, musical, room-filling bass equally suited to thrilling soundtracks, stirring orchestral pieces, propulsive pop music, and everything in between. With the new ForceField 30 and ForceField 40, GoldenEar has achieved its mandates for any subwoofer:  To be subtle and invisible, allowing a string bass or a fighter jet’s roar to seem to come out of nowhere.  To do its job when the pluck of a bass guitar or a giant’s footsteps are supposed to rumble your soul.  Available August.
