Thunder T-12
Hemmabio nr 11 2013
Stable and raw power!
“Heavy, strong and high-gloss, the Thunder T-12 holds its own in any home theater. Note the front fabric that is attached with magnets.”
“A sturdy twelve-inch sub usually gives a lot of extra bass power compared to a smaller driver, there is no doubt about that. Dynavoice has had affordable subwoofers with twelve-inch drivers in the lineup for a long time, but the question is whether the Thunder T-12 is not their best so far. It is at least their most advanced construction. Already when unpacking, I am impressed by the weight of almost 28 kilos, which makes the 40-centimeter cube feel solid and compact. The explanation for the weight can be seen when opening the box, with a 4-centimeter-thick front baffle and 3-centimeter-thick side walls plus internal bracing. Together with a heavy driver, it is no problem to reach the total weight.”
“The sound is responsive and tight, and the powerful twelve-inch driver can also dig deep, though not down to groundwater level. Playing really loud is no problem either, as Dynavoice has power in abundance and keeps the control even when the volume is raised. A slightly bright tonal balance, especially before break-in, makes the bass somewhat sensitive to placement, and positioning close to the front speakers is recommended, as well as setting the filter to the lowest position, 35 Hz. A really high resolution and the ability to distinguish between different types of bass effects make the T-12 feel more expensive than it is. A lot of good bass for the money, in other words.”
