INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a JL Audio Fathom v2 powered subwoofer
system. This product has been critically engineered to deliver exceptional
performance in your home theater or audio system for many years to come.
As a company, we are intensely committed to core research into high-
performance loudspeaker and amplifier technologies. JL Audio's long-excursion
subwoofer driver designs are widely considered as reference standards for linear
behavior and high output. We have also focused our efforts to create powerful
amplifier and signal-processing technologies specifically aimed at delivering
exceptional low-frequency performance. Your Fathom v2 combines these core
disciplines within a compact, beautifully crafted package to deliver an unparalleled
listening experience.
We sincerely thank you for your purchase and invite you to read this
manual thoroughly in order to achieve the highest level of performance with
your Fathom v2 subwoofer system. Enjoy.

JL AUDIO TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDED
IN FATHOM V2 SUBWOOFERS
DMA-Optimized Motor System
DMA is JL Audio's innovative Dynamic
Motor Analysis system aimed at
improving dynamic motor behavior. As a
result of DMA optimization, loudspeaker
motors remain linear in force over an
extreme range of excursion and also
maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic
field over a wide power range. This leads
to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully
reproduced transients... or put simply:
tight, clean, articulate bass.
OverRoll™ Surround
The OverRoll™ surround spans over
the driver's mounting flange, utilizing
available diameter wasted in conventional
speakers. This allows the use of the wider
roll necessary to control high-excursions
without sacrificing precious cone area.
W-Cone™
The W-Cone™ is a unit-body cone
assembly that delivers astonishing cone
stiffness with minimal mass.
Floating-Cone™ Attach Method
This assembly technique ensures proper
surround geometry in the assembled
speaker for better excursion control and
dynamic voice coil alignment.
Plateau-Reinforced Spider Attachment
This high-integrity suspension attachment
relieves stress from the spider material at
high-excursions for enhanced reliability.
Elevated Frame Cooling Technology
Delivers cool air, through slots directly
above the top-plate, to the voice coil of the
speaker. This enhances power handling
and sound quality by minimizing
dynamic parameter shifts and power
compression.
Radially Cross-Drilled Pole Piece
This innovative venting system greatly
enhances thermal dissipation and power
handling by directing air flow onto the
voice coil former, working in conjunction
with the Elevated Frame technology.
High-Damping Feedback Circuit
This innovative, discrete control circuit
design allows our Class D switching
amplifiers to maintain an excellent
damping factor for improved transient
behavior and fidelity.
