JL Audio f113v2

13" Active Subwoofer

The Fathom f113v2 is perfectly suited for large rooms, where it delivers unwaveringly high-quality, precise, fast, and powerful bass reproduction. The combination of an extremely long-throw 13.5-inch W7 driver and a highly powerful amplifier gives it the intimidating force normally associated with much larger and more complex subwoofer systems.

Because the f113v2 is implemented with the same driver architecture and amplification technology as our acclaimed flagship Gotham®, it offers extremely convincing sound quality. Low distortion, excellent dynamic characteristics, and astonishingly deep extension allow you to experience all the excitement of the most demanding cinematic material, while the Fathom can also reproduce all the nuances and textures of your delicate musical material.

A complete suite of signal processing capabilities is readily accessible from the front panel of every Fathom. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, phase control and polarity inversion, e.l.f. trim, and an extremely precise digital automatic room optimization system (D.A.R.O.). A high-quality calibrated microphone is supplied with the D.A.R.O. system. Input connections are made via RCA connectors or balanced Neutrik® combo XLR / TRS connectors. An XLR output is also included, allowing you to daisy-chain another Fathom subwoofer.

Advanced Driver Technology

Fathom bass drivers utilize JL Audio's proprietary DMA optimization, which ensures that the driver's motor force provides a highly linear excursion over a long travel. Unlike traditional modeling methods, DMA takes into account dynamic variations in current supply with real music material. The advantage of this technology is that the driver keeps up with the action whether listening loudly or quietly, unlike many traditional subwoofers whose reproduction only 'opens up' when the throttle is turned up significantly.

The extreme mounting depth of the driver is intentional and allows for sufficient spacing between the suspension and dual spiders and the cone, which enables truly long excursion and minimal distortion values, while also improving durability.
