JL Audio Fathom v2 (F110v2, F112v2) Subwoofers

Description

JL's Fathom v2 subwoofers incorporate proprietary W7 drivers and powerful amplifiers in relatively small sealed boxes.

Here is a summary of their features:

• Mono or stereo operation
• Unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs
• Ground lift switch to counter potential ground loop issues
• Master / slave capability for daisy chaining multiple subwoofers
• Phase continuously variable from 0 to 280 degrees
• Variable or fixed volume level control
• Low pass filter variable from 30Hz to 130Hz with 12dB and 24dB slopes
• Possible to completely switch off low pass filter for use with home theater pre-processors using internal bass management

Compared to their predecessors, the Fathom v2 platform has been improved the new Digital Automatic Room Optimization (DARO), a 20% increase in amplifier power, and tweaks to both driver and cabinet. DARO, in particular, is a huge leap forward in terms of its ability to correct for room acoustic issues. We reviewed the effectiveness of JL Audio's DARO in a recent blog article.

We don't generally use the F113v2, F212v2 or Gotham v2 subwoofers, as we prefer to use multiple smaller subwoofers, but these are available at client request.
