Exquisite Sub Description New materials and new techniques gave us the wings to further approach reality as the absolute reference in the Kharma Exquisite Collection. The far-reaching attention to detail makes this speaker range a class of its own. The new Exquisite subwoofer is able to fully support the Exquisite Collection in the low frequency range. The systems are developed, assembled and tested in the Netherlands, with the utmost care, by a team of highly dedicated, committed specialists. The new Exquisite Sub with its 67 mm linear excursion moves the air in such a way you can listen to music the way it was meant to be. This sub is the perfect match for both the Exquisite Grand and the Exquisite Classique speakers. But thanks to the many input and output options this 2 horsepower sub is also easily lined up together with the Exquisite Midi or even Exquisite Mini.

Features In this active system the underhung neodymium magnet system drives an 18 inch unit with a continuing 100% drive. The unit is being driven by a Kharma amplifier. The unit is placed in a cabinet made of an extremely dense material and finished with massive wooden parts. Every part of this unique speaker is aimed at only one goal: forming the ultimate subwoofer that will create the perfect image together with the other speakers in your setup.
Cabinet The massive cabinet is made of high pressure laminate (HPL). The cabinet is a piece of art in every way, from the use of perfect materials to construction and finish, all are exceptional. The use of HPL plates causes the mechanical vibrations of the cabinet to damp to almost zero. This damping of the mechanical vibrations of the cabinet is important, because the cabinet should absolutely have no contribution to the sound field itself. For this reason the cabinet should not emanate vibrations, which is realised by the material of the cabinet. Moreover all energy from the driver that is trapped inside the loudspeaker should be absorbed by the cabinet. This is realised by the combination of the extreme dense HPL plates and sophisticated acoustical damping. The acoustical damping is capable to absorb the energy in a wide frequency spectrum.
Stand Mechanical residual vibrations of the cabinet are terminated by the Spike Disk Suspension System (SDSS) by minimising the contact area between the cabinet and the floor. The SDSS stand also provides a fixed and levelled orientation for the cabinet drivers, because each spike can be adjusted individually in the vertical direction.
Connector The Exquisite Sub is equipped with the recently developed Kharma Binding Posts, designed and proven to be the best link between the loudspeaker cable and the internal wiring.

Advice Advised loudspeaker The Exquisite Classique and Exquisite Grand series can be perfectly complemented with this active subwoofer.
Advised external cable The uncompromised design of the Exquisite Sub resulted in the high quality of this subwoofer. For this reason there can only put justice to the quality of this Sub, when the used external cable is also uncompromised to the highest level. Therefore the Enigma Signature cable series is advised to complement the ultra high-end sound of the Exquisite Sub. However the true connoisseurs of musical art will even go one step further by complementing their Exquisite Sub with the Enigma Extreme Signature cable series.

Product Program Structure A Kharma product must not only have an unbelievable refined sound, which meets the needs of a true music lover, but also must have an astonishing finish to compete with the musicality of the system. As known by Kharma, every customer can have a taste of its own. Therefore Kharma developed three programs to be able to fulfil all levels of customization.
Primary Stock Program This program has been targeted as to create the shortest possible delivery time for the official Kharma products. This program is therefore based on the most popular Kharma finishes, which have proven their looks in the past by many successful sales. In this way we can deliver both the high refined sound as the astonishing finish that can be expected from Kharma.

Kharma Optionary Program The Kharma Optionary Program gives the freedom to tune the system both visual, to personalize the look of your speaker, as well as technical, to further refine the astonishing sound of your speaker. The visual tuning in the Optionary Program will give the customer the opportunity to choose between special selected Kharma colours and panel materials. These finishes have a higher level of customization and therefore the delivery time will be slightly longer than in the Stock Program. There is no extra charge for the Optionary paint colours, except for the colour indicated as special. The technical updates and panel finishes in this program will bring extra costs and can vary per option.
