Description
Built for Controlled, Hard-Hitting Bass
If you’re looking for deep bass that stays tight and predictable, the JTR Captivator RS1 is built for exactly that. This is a sealed subwoofer designed for real home theater use, not showroom demos. It delivers weight and control at the same time, so movie scenes hit hard without turning muddy, and music stays defined even when you turn it up.
Serious Power Without Loss of Control
At the core is an 18-inch high-excursion driver paired with a 2400W RMS DSP-controlled amplifier. That combination gives you serious headroom without pushing the driver past its limits. The DSP is tuned specifically for this enclosure, so output stays consistent and clean instead of falling apart at higher levels.
Easy to Place, Easy to Integrate
The sealed cabinet makes the RS1 easier to place and easier to integrate, especially if you plan to run dual or quad subs. Built from thick Baltic birch with heavy internal bracing, it stays quiet while the driver does the work. Balanced XLR and RCA inputs, delay control, and trigger support make it simple to drop into both AVR and processor-based systems.
