At its core are two 13\" woofers (also referred to as drivers), equipped with powerful magnets. These drivers feature our proprietary Low Distortion High Performance (LD\/HP®) Magnetic Circuit Design, which significantly reduces distortion while boosting power handling and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section-2\" class=\"mc-section\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinite Element Analysis (FEA) was essential in optimizing these drivers, ensuring a sound experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.

These cones, with an integrated voice coil joint, provide unmatched rigidity and power handling. Unlike traditional single-layer carbon fiber cones, which could flex and degrade sound quality, the PS1K’s multi-layer design offers exceptional strength and resists flexing, even during extended excursions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"feel-the-sound\" class=\"mc-section\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEEL THE SOUND\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeel the intensity of your favorite music and movies from the PS1K’s dual 13” woofers, with each powered by a 500 watt Class D amplifier that combine to deliver up to 1,000 watts of total output. These amplifiers are carefully calibrated to minimize distortion, delivering tight, clear bass even in large listening spaces. The woofers are mounted above the amplifier module, which features a power output meter to display the PS1K’s total output. The enclosure’s nearly 1-1\/2\" (3.8cm) thick baffle ensures rigidity and minimizes vibration, while the sealed box design eliminates port noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"mc-img-block\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.mcintoshlabs.com\/-\/media\/images\/mcintoshlabs\/products\/productimages\/ps1k\/ps1k-front-close-up-crop.jpg?rev=a3d9af57136e4c0da5229da71a3c4158\u0026amp;revision=a3d9af57-136e-4c0d-a522-9da71a3c4158\" alt=\"McIntosh PS1K Powered Subwoofer\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"performance-for-everyone\" class=\"mc-section\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePERFORMANCE FOR EVERYONE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PS1K’s sonic and visual synergy with McIntosh speakersis impeccable, but its powerful capabilities also make it an ideal match for high-output speakers from other manufacturers.
