Bassboss powers in with new SV8 speaker

US-based powered loudspeaker manufacturer Bassboss aims to bridge the gap between live and studio speaker performance with its new SV8 Powered MicroMain.

The speaker is designed to be equally at home as a main or fill speaker in clubs, gyms, or restaurants, or as a recording studio monitoring solution. 

“Most small loudspeakers don’t perform well at high levels nor at low frequencies, so I thought it would be useful to create a box that could do both,” explained Bassboss president, David Lee. 

 The Micromain has 117dB of sustained output in satellite mode and maximum output of 120dB, comparable to some 12” powered boxes.

“In designing the SV8, I wanted to deliver a lot of warm, rich output from a very small space,” added Lee. “Our 8” woofer has a rubber surround which provides excellent edge damping, low distortion, and smooth midrange response.”

To enhance low-frequency performance, the SV8 cabinet features a large port above the woofer grill. “The large port helps maintain low frequency performance to higher levels than other boxes this size by minimising air velocity and port turbulence. The result is a very compact box that delivers studio-quality sound and is unobtrusive even in the smallest venues.”

All Bassboss loudspeakers feature high-quality power amplification built in. The SV8 includes a  digital signal processor built right into its 700 watt Powersoft amp, providing four pre-sets designed to maximise utility. 

The presets allow the speaker to be used either as a full-range system, a satellite for a small subwoofer, or as a main speaker with a larger subwoofer. 

“By diverting power away from the lowest frequencies when that range is covered by a subwoofer, the amplifier is able to push the midrange to higher levels,” Lee explained. 

“The SV8 is powerful enough to be part of a club sound system, but also space-efficient enough for smaller installation environments like gyms, restaurants, or museum galleries, We are excited to offer the Bassboss promise of superior low-end performance in a product so compact, practical and flexible.”

The Bassboss SV8 is shipping now and is priced at $1,495. No word yet on a launch elsewhere.
