Introduction
The Anthony Gallo Acoustics MPS-150 Nucleus Micro Subwoofer was designed to provide the highest
level of subwoofer performance in the smallest possible space. Your new subwoofer accomplishes two
seemingly contradictory goals. It combines linear frequency response and tremendous volume output with
a compact enclosure size. You will get more then enough output for even large rooms while still being
able to hide the sub under furniture. At the same time, the MPS-150 offers a wide assortment of control
options and an audiophile-quality power amplifier. In other words, this is a high quality sub capable of
sounding good with music and not just as a sound effects generator for theater sounds such as
explosions.
In order to achieve these goals, designer Anthony Gallo separated the acoustical and electrical functions
of the sub. The 10" custom made driver is housed in a 5.5" wide, 1 1" tall cylindrical enclosure, while all
controls, crossover electronics and 150 watt, class A/B amplifier are contained in a discrete chassis of
similar size. This arrangement offers the user unusual flexibility, enabling the electronics module to be
located either atop the woofer or near the rest of the Audio/Video System's components. The resulting
marriage of performance, size, features and flexibility is unique in the world of powered subwoofers. Other
subwoofers, once installed in wall for instance, offer no access to controls. They are set once and then
stay that way forever.
