![]() ![]() On the contrary, he felt the size constraints of an in-wall sub compelled him to think-quite literally-“outside the box” to create new woofer technologies that offer a fundamentally better-sounding way of reproducing bass frequencies. Interestingly, Fincham never saw the in-wall aspect of the system as a performance-limiting factor. Well, apart from the amplifier part of the equation, let me tell you that the BGX-4850 subwoofer system ($6995) is nothing like that.įlying in the face of tradition, Fincham and the BG Radia team have developed a multi-component woofer system comprised of four extremely compact yet very high output in-wall woofer modules that are-get this- inherently vibration canceling, plus an outboard controller/amp module to power them. If I say “state-of-the-art subwoofer,” what thoughts first come to your mind? My bet is that you are picturing a big, honkin’ precision-made woofer (or two) loaded into a beefy, bank-vault-like enclosure and that is powered by a take-no-prisoners amplifier with enough output to propel a hybrid car. ![]() I was eager to learn what Fincham and BG Radia would do when given the freedom to create a world-class sub, so I signed up for the briefing and was soon introduced to a radical new woofer system design that breaks all the established rules, and for all the right reasons. Core technologies for the system, I was told, were being developed by THX chief scientist Laurie Fincham (perhaps best known for his achievements as the former Technical Director for the British speaker-maker KEF), while the resulting subwoofer system would be manufactured by BG Radia, of Carson City, NV. The BG Radia’s BG-BGX-4850 subwoofer is available to order now at a suggested price of $6995 and it is expected to ship from BG Radia stores beginning in October.About two years ago, I got a call from THX’s PR representatives asking if I’d like to take part in a briefing on the world’s first THX Ultra2-certified in-wall subwoofer system. It also comes with an LED display and remote control. The BGX-4850 subwoofer supports brilliant 2,000 watts of power and is capable of making realistic playback levels with the most severe amusement content. “The THX Balanced Bass-line technology, with its speaker drivers totally Self-contained within their own enclosures, allows the BGX-4850 to produce deep, natural sounding bass without shaking the walls.” “From the very onset of our partnership with BG, we wanted to create an in-wall Subwoofer that delivered THX Ultra2 performance in a design that is appealing to the eye and ear,” said Laurie Fincham, Chief Scientist and vice president of R&Dat THX. Moreover, it can also be used for on-wall or in-room use. The BGA-2104 rack-mountable power amplifier/DSP equalizer helps to drive the bass modules. The highly advanced BGX-4850 subwoofer has four separate in-wall bass modules. The latest subwoofer comes in compact amplifier design and looks quite attractive. It incorporates THX Balanced Bass-Line™ and THX technology to provide customers ultimate sound experience. BG Radia has launched its new BG-BGX-4850 subwoofer, which is the very first In-wall subwoofer to win THX Ultra2™ certification. ![]()
