Overview

The Nostala FT12 music and cinema subwoofer brings the physical weight and impact back into your music. The deep strum of a bass guitar and the impact of the kick drum hit you in the chest, right where it belongs. Speed, pace, tonality... this is not a one note wonder.

Designed and built as a modern reimagining of a classic 12" ported subwoofer, the FT12 pairs retro-style with serious low-end control and output. A high-excursion cone woofer in a die cast frame with a massive motor structure, an 800W RMS Class-D amplifier, large dual flared front ports, and 56-bit DSP-based front end with an Automatic Room Correction engine work together to deliver clean, musical bass that fits your room, not just the spec. sheet.

Finished on all sides with genuine natural grain walnut veneer, with beige and neutral grey magnetic grills included, the FT12 looks right at home beside the Nostala LB12s or any classic system that deserves a little more soul, down low.

Features

Vintage Style, Real Walnut Finish
The FT12 carries the vintage Nostala Collection spirit, with hand-laid walnut wood veneer on every surface, including the front and rear panels. It includes a die-cast solid metal Emotiva badge, permanently attached wooden feet with rubber isolators, and two beautiful magnetically attached grills in beige and neutral grey.
A 12-Inch Woofer You Can Feel
Bass is where the music gets physical. The FT12 uses a 12" high-excursion non-pressed paper cone woofer with a die-cast aluminum frame, NBR surround, variable rate suspension, and a 65.5 mm 4-layer CCA voice coil on a fiberglass former. A massive 156 x 40 mm high energy magnet with an aluminum shorting ring helps keep distortion low, so the bass has weight while staying composed.
Power for the Low Notes
The FT12 is driven by a highly efficient 800W RMS Class-D amplifier with very high headroom, giving the 12" woofer the power it needs to dig deep and stay composed. It is built for the moments you don’t just hear: the kick drum, the floor tom, the bass line, the low-end swell that moves your soul.
Bass That Fits Your Room
Rooms can make bass tricky, so the FT12 includes internal 56-bit DSP-based Automatic Room Correction engine and a precision calibrated microphone. With its built-in test tones and frequency sweeps, the FT12 can adjust its response to your listening space, helping you get bass that sounds tighter, smoother, and better blended with your system. One touch is all it takes, no complicated software or computer interface needed!
Long-Term Coverage
The FT12 is backed by Emotiva’s Ten-Year Limited Warranty on the speaker driver and cabinet, plus five years of coverage on the electronic components. It is the kind of warranty that fits the spirit of Nostala: gear made to be lived with, listened to, and enjoyed for years.
