DALI SUB E-12 F Active Subwoofer – 12-Inch Aluminium Woofer with 170W Class D Amplification

The DALI SUB E-12 F is a powerful active subwoofer engineered to deliver deep, controlled and dynamic low-frequency performance for both Hi-Fi stereo and home theatre systems. Its large 12-inch driver, high-output Class D amplifier and rigid cabinet construction allow it to reproduce demanding bass passages with authority while integrating naturally with a wide range of DALI loudspeakers.

At the heart of the SUB E-12 F is a 12-inch (30.5 cm) long-stroke aluminium woofer. The stiff yet lightweight aluminium cone provides fast transient response and controlled movement. Its one-piece cone construction helps maintain piston-like movement and reduces unwanted distortion, allowing the subwoofer to integrate effectively with everything from compact bookshelf speakers to large floorstanding loudspeakers.

The integrated Class D amplifier delivers 170 watts of continuous IEC RMS power and up to 220 watts maximum amplifier output. This high-yield amplification provides the headroom required to reproduce powerful movie soundtracks, LFE effects and demanding music passages without compromising control.

The SUB E-12 F provides a frequency range of 28–190 Hz (±3 dB) and a maximum SPL of 112 dB. Its adjustable crossover operates from 40–120 Hz, allowing the subwoofer to be matched to the main speakers and room. RCA stereo and LFE inputs provide flexible connection to AV receivers, integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers.

The subwoofer uses a rigid MDF bass-reflex cabinet with a 36 Hz tuning frequency. Four oversized polymer-based spikes raise the cabinet from the floor, helping reduce unwanted turbulence underneath the enclosure while providing effective mechanical isolation. The SUB E-12 F can be positioned on the floor near a wall or in a corner, depending on room acoustics and desired bass distribution.

• 12-Inch Aluminium Woofer: The large 30.5 cm long-stroke driver delivers deep, powerful and controlled low-frequency reproduction.
• Low-Distortion Aluminium Cone: The stiff and lightweight aluminium diaphragm provides excellent transient response and controlled piston-like movement.
• 170W Class D Amplifier: The integrated high-yield amplifier provides 170 W continuous IEC RMS power for demanding music and movie content.
• 220W Maximum Output: Additional amplifier headroom helps reproduce powerful LFE effects and demanding bass transients.
• 28 Hz Bass Extension: The wide frequency range reaches down to 28 Hz (±3 dB), providing deep and impactful low-frequency reproduction.
• 112 dB Maximum SPL: High output capability allows the SUB E-12 F to deliver powerful bass even during demanding cinematic passages.
• Adjustable Crossover: The 40–120 Hz crossover range allows flexible integration with bookshelf, floorstanding and architectural speakers.
• Bass-Reflex Cabinet: The tuned 36 Hz bass-reflex enclosure improves low-frequency efficiency and extension.
• Flexible Connectivity: RCA stereo and dedicated LFE inputs allow connection to a wide range of stereo amplifiers and AV receivers.
• Rigid MDF Construction: The solid cabinet is designed to minimise unwanted resonance and provide a stable platform for the high-output driver.
• Floor Isolation: Oversized polymer-based spikes raise the cabinet approximately 30 mm from the floor to reduce unwanted interaction and turbulence underneath the subwoofer.
