DeepHemp Series
Call me a purist!
If forced to choose, I’d opt for errors of omission over adding unwanted resonances or ‘clutter’ to the music my speakers produce. So no surprise here: I find many subs too slow and boomy to seamlessly mate with my single-driver designs.
If you own Omega single-drivers, or maybe a set of high-quality planer or electrostatic speakers, likely you’ve come to the same conclusion: Getting bass right requires a fast and musical sub. Not something easily done in the $1,000 to $1,500 price range.
You’ll Never Know the DeepHemp is in Your Listening Room
It has taken me several years to design a driver and cabinet alignments worthy of the Omega Logo. But they’re here now, and when properly positioned, your listening room will actually ‘breathe with the music.’
Both DeepHemps feature an extremely heavy-duty, proprietary Omega HempCone driver, housed in meticulously designed hand-crafted cabinets. Hemp by its nature is lightweight and a very ridged material. These traits contribute to the speed and layered-tones produced by both Omega DeepHemp subwoofers. Speed and tone are further enhanced by use of treated surrounds for the speaker cones, which are much quicker than standard rubber surrounds found on many subwoofers.
DeepHemps seamlessly integrate with all Omega single-driver speakers. And can be successfully paired with any speaker system that benefits from deep, well-articulated, musical bass.
DeepHemps are available in all Omega finishes, so not only does the sound blend seamlessly with your speakers, the appearance does too! Like all Omega drivers and cabinet designs, DeepHemps are proprietary and only available from Omega Speaker Systems.
Omega Subs are Powerful!
Both subs are powered by internal 220 watt amplifiers. Amps are housed in their own chamber, so there’s no mechanical interaction between the amp and internal sound waves. This design improves sonic performance for number of reasons.
The DeepHemp amp features:
- A steep fourth-order slope (24dB / octave), minimizing interaction with your main speakers
- Toggle phase control, helping DeepHemps better integrate with a variety of speaker designs
- Linear transformer, with plenty of power to drive loud passages
- Inputs for both high-level (speaker terminals on your amp) and low-level (RCA interconnects from your preamp or line-stage)
- High-quality gold-plated connectors
Don’t Forget the Spikes
DeepHemps come standard with four 2.25" gold-plated brass spikes, helping you optimize room coupling. Gold-plated discs also come standard to protect spikes from damaging your hardwood floors.
