The Elevation Series ELS212 Subwoofer is a dual 12”, 4 ohm, 1600-watt subwoofer with long excursion neodymium woofers capable of achieving 134db SPL down to 40Hz at -3db. Using an innovative new technology developed by Tom Danley called a Tapped Horn design (patent pending), the Tapped Horn maximizes driver efficiency by allowing radiation from the rear of the driver to enter the system at a tap, located further down the horn flare towards the mouth.

This tap means output from the rear of the driver is effectively de-coupled from the system at extremely low frequencies, but at higher frequencies it becomes coupled back into the system. When this occurs, the output from the front of the driver (at the throat of the horn) and the output from the rear of the driver (entering at the tap) is in phase, effectively doubling the driver’s radiating surface area (Sd) as far as the horn is concerned.

In real world applications where the measured SPL is comparable for a conventional vented horn design and a tapped horn design, the diaphragm excursion of the driver is greatly reduced due to the acoustical loading of the tapped horn. This decrease in excursion will translate directly into lower distortion, smoother, flatter frequency response and far higher output capability from the Tapped Horn subwoofer design versus conventional horn loading.

The ELS212t (touring) and ELS212i (installation) are built for long term reliability in even the most demanding applications. Elevation Series Tapped Horn subwoofers use high quality proprietary 12-inch neodymium drivers by 18 Sound and are built in North America using a solid grade Baltic birch plywood cabinet construction.
