The SUB T-30.60 has been developed as a support for high-performance systems. The TIW 300 8 Ohm woofer used here with its large, multi-vented voice coil , is of a design which enables it to work at high output levels and still maintain clear, precise sound . In the recommended cabinet , it manages a very impressive sound pressure of 89 dB (1W/1m) at 30 Hz lower limiting frequency .

The recommended cabinet has 60 litres net volume and is still compact enough to integrate easily in most living rooms. The large-format bass reflex tube effectively suppresses flow losses and flow noise. To guarantee the rigidity of the cabinet , the floor and front panel are double and with additional strengthening struts.

Visaton has introduced the successor to its 30 cm TIW woofer which has led the field for nigh on twenty years. The theoretically calculated maximum linear deflection of 7.5 mm stayed the same; but in the border zone above that level, the TIW 300 is far better-natured than its predecessor. In doing so it not only achieves the tremendous low-frequency level accuracy of the TIW 360, it even exceeds it.
By using a heavy diaphragm and a correspondingly more powerful driver, Visaton's Friedemann Hausdorf has managed to reduce the size of the cabinet considerably while at the same time ensuring maximum bass response : a size of 80 to 100 litres is perfectly acceptable to produce the full extent of the sound pressure at less than 30 hertz; with the TIW 360, it was necessary to allow for up to 140 litres. The sensitivity and lower limiting frequency have remained the same in comparison with the predecessor.
This makes the TIW 300 at home not only in subwoofer constructions producing lots of deep bass but also in large-format three-way constructions where it is quite happy to join forces with a smaller mid-range driver of the 13 cm category, thanks to the relatively high separating frequency.
Verdict: the TIW 300 is a worthy successor to the TIW 360 with almost exactly the same acoustic characteristics but a dramatically reduced thirst for cabinet space.
