The American company Sunfire was founded by Bob Carver in the USA in 1972. For many audiophiles, the Sunfire name is synonymous with subwoofer, and for good reason. The fact is that Bob Carver first introduced the concept of true subwoofers (“True Subwoofers”), which are truly “sub-low-frequency” speaker systems – unlike all the others, which reproduce regular low frequencies. The innovative ideas put forward by Bob Carver in the early 1990s led to the creation of a new category of subwoofers – compact, but extremely powerful and delivering high sound pressure. Due to the increased stroke of the bass driver by 5 – 6 times, they, despite their modest size, are able to quickly move significant volumes of air, which is necessary for the true reproduction of explosions and other special effects in home theaters.
An equally important achievement of Sunfire is the creation of power amplifiers with unique power supplies – Tracking Downconverter, which monitor the instantaneous load and deliver exactly as much energy as needed at each moment. Thanks to this, Sunfire amplifiers have high efficiency. with low distortion of the useful signal.
In addition to the famous “true” subwoofers for home theaters, the company produces several more series of speaker systems. Bookshelf speakers from the Cinema Ribbons series look quite unusual, because… Almost their entire front panel is occupied by a proprietary ribbon tweeter, and the low-frequency speakers are placed on the sides. Despite their small size, such acoustic systems have high load capacities (up to 440 W), a wide frequency range, excellent transmission of sound images and excellent microdynamics. There are also TRIO IN-WALL built-in speakers and wall-mounted versions of flat speakers with TRIO ON-WALL ribbon drivers, as well as bipolar speakers with a double set of ON-WALL BI-POLE speakers. For home theaters, Sunfire also produces a series of high-resolution satellite speakers – High Resolution Series Satellite Loudspeaker – HRS with matching HRS subwoofers.
Today, the Sunfire line includes 7.1-channel AV receivers, AV processors and subwoofers for home theaters of the Theater Grand series, a wide range of powerful and compact subwoofers with amplifiers up to 2700 W, as well as bookshelf, wall-mounted and built-in speaker systems of unique designs.
