Epoque Aeon Baforce Controller

The flagship product Epoque Aeon Baforce Controller sets the ultimate benchmark for active subwoofer crossovers / controllers.

The Epoque Aeon Baforce Controller is the choice for the ultimate sub-bass reproduction. In order to achieve the maximum sound quality, resolution and velocity without any losses, we designed our Epoque Aeon Baforce Controller completely analog. Our supreme design goal was not to hear the crossover / controller in the signal path.

Because of the completely symmetrical design, the Epoque Aeon Baforce Controller completely avoids interferences from the outset and hereby reaches an even higher sound quality.

The completely analog and symmetrical crossover / controller electronics are housed in a non-compromise enclosure which is milled out of a full block of a specific aluminum alloy. Hereby we get perfect control over EMI, heat dispersion, freedom from magnetic interfering fields and an ideal resonance behavior of the complete system.

The massively oversized discrete power supply always ensures absolute stable working conditions for the Epoque Aeon Baforce Controller at every level.

Completely Symmetrical

Our crossover / controller is designed completely symmetrical in order to get even less interferences and therefore an even higher sound quality. Our supreme design goal was not to hear the crossover / controller in the signal path and we are sure that we reached it!

Massively Oversized Power Supply

The massively oversized high end power supply can shortly deliver few times higher peak current as needed at maximum level. In order to lower the interferences even more, we designed the enclosure so the power supply has it’s own shielded chamber and doesn’t affect the analog section. Through this, the noise floor is decreased to the lowest potential possible and even the smallest dynamic impulses are reproduced with unbelievable velocity and precision.
