BASSBOSS KRAKEN-MK3 Flagship Quad 21 Inch Powered Subwoofer
The BASSBOSS KRAKEN-MK3 concentrates four 21 inch neodymium woofers and 10,000W of Class D amplification into a force canceling enclosure built for arena scale low frequency performance. Its sixth order vented short horn hybrid design delivers powerful 27Hz extension, fast transients, impactful upper bass, 145 dB sustained output, and 148 dB peak SPL. Engineered to maximize bass performance per footprint, this flagship subwoofer provides the physical impact and sustained headroom required for stadiums, arena mainstages, headline festival systems, major touring productions, and large club installations.
Why Choose the BASSBOSS KRAKEN-MK3?
Four discrete 2500W amplifier channels power the four 21 inch neodymium woofers independently, providing substantial headroom while distributing the electrical and thermal workload across the system. The dual opposed, force canceling architecture controls cabinet vibration while preserving the fast transient response and upper bass impact required for large scale professional sound.
Integrated 96kHz DSP manages filtering, phase alignment, equalization, cardioid processing, and multi stage limiting. ControlBASS networking, Milan AVB connectivity, universal voltage compatibility, weather resistant construction, and interlocking stacking hardware make the KRAKEN-MK3 a commanding choice for professionals looking to buy a flagship subwoofer with extraordinary output and centralized system control.
