JL Audio Fathom F-112V2

Powered Subwoofer with 12-inch Subwoofer, 1800 watts

The Fathom f112v2 is a superb subwoofer solution in medium-sized rooms and is equally at home supporting a music-only system or a home theater system. The combination of an ultra-long throw W7 12-inch driver and a very powerful switching amplifier give it the kind of output normally associated with far larger subwoofer systems.

Because it is built with the same driver and amplifier technology as our flagship Gotham®, the f112v2 delivers a tremendous level of sound quality. Low distortion, excellent dynamic capabilities and shockingly deep bass extension will allow you to experience all the excitement of the most demanding cinematic material, while also being able to reproduce all the nuance and texture of your most delicate musical material.

A complete set of signal processing features is easily accessible on the front surface of every Fathom. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, variable phase, switchable polarity, e.l.f. trim and our powerful Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system. A calibrated microphone is included for the D.A.R.O. system. Input connections are made via unbalanced RCA connections or balanced Neutrik® combo XLR/TRS jacks. Also included is an XLR output to connect a second Fathom® as a slave unit.

The challenges associated with designing high-output, compact subwoofer systems can be daunting. In most cases, designers sacrifice low-frequency extension or output
capability in order to keep a design acceptably small.

The Fathom® subwoofers sacrifice nothing, thanks to the dynamic advantages of their proprietary JL Audio drivers. These exceptional woofers allow for a true subwoofer
passband and very high output, while keeping distortion well below audible thresholds. To extract full benefit from the excursion envelope of its woofer design, each Fathom® employs an uncommonly powerful switching amplifier with a large toroidal transformer and a patented circuit, designed to enhance control and fidelity.

The compact design and conventional form factor of the Fathoms apply beautifully to most home theater applications, including built-in designs. Front-mounted controls make them comfortable to set up and adjust, while JL Audio’s powerful DSP engine and exclusive
Digital Automatic Room Optimization makes sure that response is smooth, even in challenging rooms.

While very compact, the f112v2 is powerful enough to anchor serious home theater setups and is equally at home in the most critical music listening applications.
For that very reason, it is used in some of the best recording and mastering studios in the world.
