The WS-12 is an active 12″ subwoofer with a 1000W Class-D amplifier designed for studio and stage use. It excels in delivering details in very low frequencies found in film soundtracks or bass-heavy music genres such as EDM and Hip-Hop. With a frequency response down to 23 Hz and a maximum sound pressure level of 123 dB, it provides ample reserves for a powerful low-frequency performance in any environment.

Originally designed for studio use, the WS-12 has been made road-ready for live applications by adding handles and using high-quality materials for its enclosure. The subwoofer can be easily transported in a car trunk and pairs excellently with smaller PA systems.

Similar to the studio monitors in the LP series, the bass reflex port of the WS-12 has been designed to offer all the benefits of a front port without the air noise often associated with it. In most bass reflex designs, air exits the port at different speeds from various points, leading to noisy turbulence. This turbulence can be perceived as "snorting" or disruptive air noise from the subwoofer. Therefore, the bass reflex channel of the WS-12 has been engineered so that all the air exits the port at the same speed. This contributes to better low-frequency reproduction and ensures clean, tight bass.
