The CI industry has a new set of infrasonic subs coming to market, with new entrant HYPERSUB and its inaugural Frontier series aiming to fill the infrasonic niche in a way that can benefit integrators beyond raw performance specs.
HYPERSUB was born from a collaboration between system designer Nyal Mellor (founder of Acoustic Frontiers) and Alberta’s Harbottle Audio with the goal of designing an infrasonic subwoofer more tailored to the systems integrators commonly work with.
“Too many subwoofers that looked fit-for-purpose on manufacturer spec sheets did not deliver the fidelity expected by audio enthusiasts once deployed in a room. HYPERSUB was created to change that,” says Mellor, system designer for HYPERSUB and founder of Acoustic Frontiers.
Specifically, the company states that it’s aiming to hit the niche of systems that are now being designed around CEDIA/CTA-RP22 best practice recommendations for immersive audio.
Kicking off HYPERSUB’s entry into the channel, the Frontier series is set to have three subs. These are:
Additionally, according to HYPERSUB, each sub will support multiple room correction technologies, with Trinnov Waveforming and Dirac ART being named specifically in the announcement. The F-15 and F-21 models also come paired with the HYPERSUB 422D (4 x 2,000 watts RMS) amplifier, while F-24 is power by the 224D (2 x 2,400 watts DSP) amp.
Beyond that, each HYPERSUB unit has reportedly been verified to a 1% performance tolerance across more than 2,000 quality checkpoints and backed by independent testing to industry standards such as AES-75 and ANSI/CTA-2010B.
The Frontier series are available now through HYPERSUB’s website, with interested parties being invited to reach out regarding product inquiries.
Additionally, HYPERSUB has made available the specifications and media assets for the Frontier series on its website for dealers to peruse at their leisure.
Lastly, the company states that it will also be offering engineering services that model the in-room performance of a specified system so integrators can better predict SPL capability, frequency response, low-frequency extension, and seat-to-seat consistency before a single cabinet is installed.
