Complete Sound, a Hollywood-based post-production house and a subsidiary of Complete Post, installed two 10-inch Bag End Infrasub speakers, which will work with its 5.1 production capabibility rooms. The house's main dubbing stages are hybrids that can accommodate short-or long-form work conforming to THX standards.

Complete Sound's director of engineering, Jeff Minnich, aquired a pair of custom-built Bag End Infrasub-10 self-powered subwoofer systems nearly identical in design to Bag End's Infrasub-18 self-powered subs. The main difference between the two is that the Infrasub-10 uses two compact 10-inch subwoofers instead of one 18-inch transducer. A built-in ELF extended low frequency signal processor powers both units.

"We have had a large number of requests from sound designers, home theater contractors and studios for smaller versions of our highly successful Infrasub-18, and are actually are in the process of developing several new, smaller Infrasub models," said Bag End president Jim Wischmeyer. "So when Coast Audio said they needed a 10-inch Infrasub for a client, we custom-built a pair for them."

Minnich, who acquired them from Coast Audio, says Complete Sound uses them both as a low-frequency component in their main dubbing stages and for the low frequency effects (LFE) channel in their 5.1 editorial surround systems.

"We are very impressed with the Bag Ends," Minnich said. "They do a tremendous job for very compact systems, and because they are so easily portable, we find them a very versatile part of our inventory.

Complete Sound is equipped to handle long-form dubbing and long- and short-form editorial as well as audio for video, DVD mastering and restoration. It has home video and laser disk services and complete post-production for TV, including sitcoms, game shows, movies-of-the week and feature remastering for TV.
