20° vertical.
Wide horizontal dispersion fills the room with even coverage; the narrow vertical pattern keeps the energy off the ceiling and on the audience. The result: consistent SPL and tonal balance from front-row to back wall.

This is a wonderful equipment for DJ! It is playing the low range that can not be compared with other subwoofers. It surpasses Martin’s triple 15-inch woofer and two 18inch L-Acoustics subs. I can listen to the sounds that I could only listen to at the concert venue in my room. My friends call me crazy, but the music is asking for it. (Translated from Japanese by Google)

For the experience of listening, it’s like you’re immersed in the actual music. It’s the best. It’s the BEST! Hands down. It’s balanced, it’s clear and it’s healthier for your ears. It just makes you feel good.

If you are looking to please your customers with pure sonic bliss, and the kind of bass that will get people talking about your rig, then look no further. Hyperia Houston has hosted some of the world’s greatest DJs on one of the country’s best sound systems (by BASSBOSS). DJs Sasha, Digweed, Little Louie Vega, Eric Morrillo and Andy C. have all have praised the ultra deep, smooth and organic bass that our system is famous for. All the money in the world couldn’t get you better sound or a better product. (Photo - David Lee in the 80s!)

I just wanted to thank you for the great speakers. (The DV12 tops and VS21 subs) sounded so good at our Playa camp this year and brought a lot of cool people over asking “what are those?!” The setup/strike was simple enough that I felt comfortable letting everyone help, and finding the correct gain/pass/presets was a simple matter of trial and error that took about 10 mins once the DJ found his groove. The entire setup pulled only 10% of our generator’s capacity at full honk.

The Sublim8 can keep up with far more than one single 18. Just add subs to increase your system capacity.
Sub Extension
VS21-MK3
Single 21″ powered subwoofer
When the room demands more low-end weight, a VS21-MK3 beside the Sublim8 adds deep 21″ sub extension without compromising the column's elegant sightlines.
View VS21-MK3 →
Compact Sub
BB15-MK3
Single 15″ powered subwoofer
The most discreet sub addition: the BB15-MK3 slides under a table or into a corner and adds punch without requiring its own footprint in the room.
View BB15-MK3 →
Punchy 18″
SSP118-MK3
Single 18″ powered subwoofer
A compact 18″ sub that delivers a big punch in a small enclosure, ideal for adding bass extension to the Sublim8 without overwhelming the space.
