Occasionally, a design comes along that feels incredibly personal. For me, that’s the Carbon Special Black Label. It’s a subwoofer that speaks directly to the purist—the listener who values nuance and transparency every bit as much as raw power. This model focuses on detail, dynamics, and conveying emotional truth. It doesn’t shout for your attention. It earns it.
A Beating Heart of Carbon Fibre
At the core of the Carbon Special Black Label is a pure carbon fibre–coned 12-inch driver that’s ultra-light, stiff, and lightning-fast. This material allows us to move serious air with incredible precision, producing speed and tonal clarity rarely found in a subwoofer of this scale. Paired with a fully re-engineered carbon passive radiator, it offers greater control and depth, delivering stunning articulation down low without losing finesse.
Power, Refined
We power the Carbon Special Black Label with a 900-watt Linear Class D™ hybrid amplifier, combining the explosive energy of a Class A/B monoblock with the efficiency of its Class D output stage. The result is immense headroom, lower distortion, and effortless transient response. And it sips just 40 watts at idle. Think of it as the closest thing to our flagship No.31 Reference—at nearly half the price.
Musical When You Need It. Explosive When You Demand It.
The Carbon Special Black Label's true magic lies in its dynamic range. Whisper-quiet when needed, then capable of leaping forward with explosive power and absolute control. This contrast is what makes music come alive and film soundtracks feel so immersive. It’s not about volume. It’s about presence, realism that convinces you the performance is happening in front of you.
Stackable. Flexible. Beautiful.
Carbon Special Black Label is Line Array–capable, engineered to recreate breathtaking scale and vertical layering when stacked. Its standard premium wood grille offers a Mid Century Modern architectural presence, while an optional black cloth grille provides a more classic look. And, with optional Airship Direct™ wireless compatibility, placement is clean and uncompromised.
Who It’s For
If you live for realism, if you want to feel the timbre of a bowed string, the punch of a kick drum, or the quiet tension of a film score—the Carbon Special Black Label is for you. It’s designed not to dominate, but to complete…to get out of the way and let your system reach its full potential.
