The Epic Midi /400 system provides no-compromise audiophile sound by combining combining the Epicenter EP400 DSP 500-watt subwoofer with the
acclaimed transparency and 3-dimensional musical presentation of the compact
M2 bookshelf speakers. Ideal for the discriminating listener who seeks the
awesome power of live rock-concert bass or the powerful reverberance of African drums.
The Epicenter EP400 DSP subwoofer achieves ultra-low bass with none of the uneven performance of conventional subs, and delivers those powerful bass notes from an unusually compact cabinet, much smaller than conventional subwoofers. The Axiom custom-programmed Intelligent DSP “algorithm” controls every frequency from 23 Hz to 150 Hz, maintaining a smooth, flat response within 3 dB across the range (within 1.5 dB from 28 Hz - 150 Hz). That means you'll hear undistorted, profoundly deep rumbles all the way to 23 Hz or even deeper in typical rooms. And the sophisticated DSP chip inside prevents the EP400 from ever being overdriven into distortion.
The robust bass of the EP400 sub lets you use the Epic Midi /400 in living rooms, bedrooms and dens up to 2,100 cu. ft. The critically acclaimed M2 bookshelf speakers, praised by critics and customers alike for their transparent and neutral music reproduction, each use a single 5.25-inch woofer and a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter—exactly the same drivers that the celebrated M22 and floorstanding M60 and M80 tower speakers use for upper bass, midrange and treble. So it's no surprise that the M2 presents a soundstage of compelling width and depth.
Like the other Epic Midi systems, the VP100 center channel focuses dialog and is tonally identical to the M2's because it uses the same dual aluminum cone woofers. These create a seamless blend between center, mains and surrounds, with plenty of depth and a spacious 3-dimensional soundstage. This system also delivers amazingly clear, natural movie soundtrack and music playback from DVDs, CDs, even LPs.
The QS4 quadpolar surround speakers each use four drivers firing in four different directions to create a remarkable audio illusion. They produce ultra-realistic envelopment in effects and location sounds from 5.1 channel movie soundtracks. Thunder, rainstorms and jungle scenes heard from the QS4s will put you in that environment, so complete is the surround effect. Fronts, center and surrounds can be wall-mounted or stand-mounted.
Music reproduction via DVD-Audio or SACD discs or from CDs processed through Dolby Pro LogicII is as thrilling and enjoyable as ambient soundtrack effects. You'll reassess the power of music in your existing collection of CDs.
