TREMENDOUS SOUND QUALITY
Fathom subwoofers utilize the same driver and amplifier technology as our flagship Gotham® subwoofer line. This allows for low distortion, excellent dynamic capabilities and shockingly deep bass extension.
SWITCHING AMPLIFIER
Each system uses a powerful switching amplifier with a large toroidal transformer and a patented circuit designed to enhance control and fidelity.
CONVENIENT CONTROL
A complete set of signal processing features is easily accessible on the front surface of every Fathom subwoofer. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, variable phase, switchable polarity, extreme low frequency trim and our powerful Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system.
ULTRAHIGH PERFORMANCE DESIGN
This family of in-room subwoofers is centered on the highest technology subwoofer design from JL Audio — W7-HT. Each model-specific drive unit features extreme excursion capability, with outstanding linearity and dynamic stability.
FATHOM v2 TECHNOLOGIES
D.A.R.O. TECHNOLOGY
Exclusive D.A.R.O. technology from JL Audio uses a powerful onboard DSP to automatically optimize the subwoofer’s in-room frequency response. This leads to a superb listening experience, no matter where the subwoofer is placed.
DMA-OPTIMIZED WOOFER
Proprietary motor, suspension and cone modeling systems are used to achieve long, linear excursion capabilities with low distortion and powerful sound output.
W-CONE TECHNOLOGY
Using two lightweight mineral-filled polypropylene skins bonded in a unique W-cone design, the W7-HT subwoofer combines extreme durability and moisture-resistance with extra rigidity for powerful bass performance.
FCAM™ TECHNOLOGY
This “floating cone attach method” of bonding the surround/cone assembly to the voice coil former/spider structure ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment.
ENGINEERED LEAD-WIRE SYSTEM
Carefully engineered lead-wire design and attachments ensure controlled, quiet lead-wire behavior under the most extreme excursion demands.
ELEVATED FRAME COOLING™ TECHNOLOGY
This patented frame cooling design creates a pathway for high-velocity air to flow directly across the top plate of the speaker voice coil — cooling it for better power handling and improved reliability.
OVERROLL™ SURROUND TECHNOLOGY
By utilizing space otherwise wasted in conventional speakers, this ground-breaking innovation controls the Fathom subwoofer’s massive excursion without sacrificing precious cone area.
RADIAL CROSS-DRILLED POLE-PIECE
Through machined holes on the outer wall of the pole-piece, this innovative venting system enhances thermal dissipation and power handling by directing air flow onto the voice coil former, working in conjunction with the Elevated Frame Cooling technology to effectively remove heat from the voice coil.
