Experience the most powerful bass output from the most compact subwoofer – Kraken-MK3. This subwoofer is engineered to dominate large-scale festival touring systems, high-intensity nightclubs, art cars/festival floats, and the insatiable hunger of bass enthusiasts seeking an unparalleled audio experience.

Unmatched Power
The Kraken-MK3 offers the highest SPL in the market from equivalent cubic volume with the output of 4-5 BASSBOSS double 18” subs packed into a cabinet roughly the size of just two. With 10,000 watts RMS of amplification and comprehensive DSP, the amplifier is rated for RMS output using continuous sine wave signal.

Monstrously Beautiful
The subwoofer is capable of almost brutal force and delivers excellent transient response with efficient performance of short horns at the upper end of the subwoofer range. The extended depth is delivered by the large, vented volume, long excursion drivers, and prodigious power.

Innovation Implemented
The MK3 series features all-new amplifiers, with total power increased and power allocated to woofers substantially enhanced. Higher output voltages provide more impact, while universal input voltage compatibility of 90-250V provides more flexibility. Waterproof connections provide more peace-of-mind.

Enhanced DSP
The Kraken-MK3 features an all-new 96kHz DSP, with pushbutton presets doubled from 4 to 8, and up to 100 presets can now be stored in the DSP and loaded via LAN. The suite of processing includes meticulously tuned equalization, all necessary high-pass and low-pass filters, as well as multiple protection systems and limiters to prevent driver overload in as many ways as possible.

ControlBASS Software
ControlBASS software supports an unlimited number of possible BASSBOSS-developed or customized user presets, which integrate seamlessly and coherently with all other BASSBOSS products for effortlessly perfect setups. The latest in DSP programming developments can be added via easy remote updating.
