JBL ASB6112 Compact High Power Single 12" Subwoofer
The ASB6112 delivers a responsive, controlled low-end that captures every detail of your bass and kick tracks into rich, authoritative reproduction without muddying the mix. Its compact footprint and high-power handling make it an ideal foundation for home studios, mixing environments, and recording spaces where professional-grade bass monitoring matters. The single 12-inch differential drive woofer produces punchy, articulate low-end that locks tight with your rhythm tracks across funk, hip-hop, rock, and any genre demanding serious bottom-end clarity and mix accuracy.
Audio Performance
Maximum continuous output reaches 126 dB-SPL with 132 dB peaks, driven by a 700 W long-term power rating (2800 W peak) that handles extended mixing and mastering sessions without fatigue. Frequency response spans 43 Hz to 1 kHz (±3 dB), with extension down to 35 Hz at –10 dB, providing the full spectrum needed for tight, present bass reproduction across virtually any genre or session type. System sensitivity of 96 dB-SPL at 1W means efficient coupling to most studio amplifiers and mixing consoles.
Design & Build
The front-loaded vented enclosure uses 16 mm exterior-grade 11-ply birch plywood construction for rigidity and accuracy, finished in black DuraFlex with IP>3 rating for dust and water protection. Compact dimensions of 406 × 369 × 483 mm (16.0 × 14.5 × 19.0 in) make placement and repositioning practical in tight studio spaces, while 16 suspension attachment points with M10 threaded hardware enable secure mounting in any orientation or studio configuration.
