Powered Subwoofer with 10-inch Subwoofer Driver, 1100 Watts

The Fathom f110v2 is the most compact subwoofer in the Fathom lineup but is fully capable of delivering stellar performance in smaller spaces. The combination of an ultra-long throw W7 10-inch driver and a very powerful switching amplifier give it the kind of output normally associated with far larger subwoofer systems.

Home Theatre Review

The Benchmark

Because it is built with the same driver and amplifier technology as our flagship Gotham®, the f110v2 delivers a tremendous level of sound quality. Low distortion, excellent dynamic capabilities and shockingly deep bass extension will allow you to experience all the excitement of the most demanding cinematic material, while also being able to reproduce all the nuance and texture of your most delicate musical material.

A complete set of signal processing features is easily accessible on the front surface of every Fathom. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, variable phase, switchable polarity, e.l.f. trim and our powerful Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system. A calibrated microphone is included for the D.A.R.O. system. Input connections are made via unbalanced RCA connections or balanced Neutrik® combo XLR/TRS jacks. Also included is an XLR output to connect a second Fathom® as a slave unit.

Who is this for?

The Fathom f110 V2 is engineered for the discerning listener who demands authentic low-frequency extension without compromise. If you're building a two-channel system around high-resolution bookshelf or compact floorstanding speakers in a room between 20 and 40 square metres, this subwoofer integrates seamlessly to deliver the foundation your music deserves. It excels with jazz, electronic, orchestral, and contemporary recordings where true bass articulation separates extraordinary systems from merely good ones.

This subwoofer pairs beautifully with quality integrated amplifiers or separates delivering between 50 and 200 watts per channel. You'll appreciate the sophisticated DSP-based room correction and the precision of the Digital Automatic Room Optimization system, which adapts to your space without lengthy manual adjustments. Whether your amplification is valve or solid-state, the Fathom's adjustable crossover and phase controls ensure coherent integration with your main speakers.

You're the ideal owner if you value musicality over mere impact, if your listening space is a dedicated room or well-considered living area, and if you understand that proper bass reproduction requires both power and finesse. The f110 V2 suits listeners who've moved beyond entry-level components and seek the dimensional realism that only accurate low-frequency reproduction can provide. This is a subwoofer that disappears sonically while making everything you play sound more complete, more present, more real.

It's rare that I come across a product that I can't find something not to like about, but that is where I find myself with regards to JL Audio's Fathom f110 subwoofer. It's the subwoofer I would choose for any reference two-channel or home theater system regardless of price. Recommended? Hell yes.

With powerful, very-low-frequency extension worthy of a home-theater system, the Fathom f110 proved fast and agile enough to keep up with one of the fastest speakers I’ve heard. It’s not the cheapest 10” subwoofer on the market, but I challenge you to find a better one at its price -- or at any price.

The JL Audio f110v2 subwoofers punch well above their weight class. That such a small package can integrate with such speed, finesse, and low-frequency extension is remarkable. Every piece of music I threw at the subs demonstrated improvement in all aspects, not just those one would associate with a sub. The soundstage improved, placement of instruments improved, and overall musicality was transformed in a way far beyond my expectations. If you have speakers that are just not up to the low-frequency task, like many monitors and planars, and want musicality that does not degrade the sound quality—look no further. JL has the answer.
