- **LS212** — Dual 12-inch asymmetrical-chamber subwoofer rated at 800W continuous for fixed installations.
- **DML500W** — Weather-resistant passive DML500 variant for outdoor and moisture-rich environments; the published datasheet lists its ingress-protection code as pending and a four-year warranty.
