Amplifier Fits in Subwoofer

Orca Design and Manufacturing announced it is shipping the Gladen ATM, a micro amplifier that replaces the speaker terminal in a subwoofer box to create a powered subwoofer enclosure.

The ATM (Active Terminal Module) replaces the enclosure’s standard 78mm circular speaker terminal with a 200-watt mono amplifier, measuring just under five inches deep and available in two- or four-ohm versions. The design allows retailers to internally amplify any pre-built or custom sub enclosure with a low cost solution.

The Gladen ATM uses a Molex connector for power, ground and audio inputs, alongside a button that selects between low- and speaker-level input.

It automatically detects signal input to turn it on and off. The built-in, low-pass filter lets the installer match the output of the ATM to the subwoofer and enclosure with variable volume and crossover adjustment between 50 and 120Hz. An optional subwoofer volume control (RTC-2) can be plugged into the ATM and mounted within the driver’s reach.

“In light of the drastic product shortages, retailers are struggling to build personalized audio experiences for their customers,” said Nalaka Adikari, Orca Sales Director. “Bass is usually the first audio enhancement customers look for, and the ATM lets retailers bring life and vibrancy to factory audio playback by adding low end with a single component that can be removed when storage space is needed.”

Both the 2- and 4-ohm versions of the Gladen ATM (GA-ATM2Ohm and GA-ATM4Ohm) have a suggested retail price of $349.

Orca distributes Focal and Gladen-Mosconi as well as Blackhole, Raven and Illusion Audio.

  1. Just seems like too much money to me. People who buy AIO’s spend $200-400 at most. Very cool Idea. But it’s the same as bolting an amp tot he side of the box or inside the box.
