Hafler(R) Debuts TRM12s Low Frequency Speaker System

January 28, 1999 -- Hafler(R), the leader in amplifiers for the studio, post production, broadcast and audiophile markets, is proud to debut the TRM12s VFET Trans*ana powered low frequency speaker system at the NAMM Convention. The innovative TRM12s provides extended low end response for the Hafler TRM8 powered monitor system, or any studio system requiring accurate low frequency reproduction.

"When we introduced the TRM8 monitor to the studio market, we provided a world class powered monitor system second to none in sound and performance," says Jerry Cave, managing director for Hafler. "The TRM12s carries on this tradition."

The TRM12s is a well designed and powered, low frequency speaker system offering a free field frequency response of 25-11OHz (+/- 2dB) at less than 3 percent Total Harmonic Distortion, 25-11OHz at 96dB at two meters on axis. The system uses Hafler's advanced VFET Trans*ana G 200 watt rms (at 4 Ohms) power amplifier to deliver acoustic output greater than 115dB. This performance more than adequately meets the dynamic range needs of 24-bit digital playback.

The 12-inch low frequency driver utilizes a cellulose fiber cone driven by a 2.5-inch voice coil, with the speaker "down firing" mounted in a 2.0 cubic foot vented cabinet. The input panel offers stereo balanced XLR and stereo unbalanced RCA connectors with balanced/ unbalanced and selectable phase DIP switches and a variable low pass 40 to 11OHz filter. Cabinet size measures 19.5-inches wide by 18.0125-inches high by 19.25-inches deep.

"Hafler already dominates the high-end amplifier market and is very successful with the TRM8 and TRM6 powered monitor systems as well as the TRM10s subwoofer," states Cave. "The TRM12s rounds out our compact powered speaker line with the performance expected from a Hafler product."
