The new Halifax is similar in design to the Volcano but is shorter and slightly wider.

It is designed principally for use in home cinema systems, hence the reason for its lower height, and is only available in matt anthracite. It is effective from a lower frequency than the standard height Volcano, 28 Hz. There is an adjustable tuning port and internal paddle as with the Volcano, however, It cannot be extended in height.

Listening tests have also found it to be extremely effective in a typical 2 channel stereo system and the lower height can have less of an impact on the room when placed between loudspeakers. Because it is effective from a lower bass frequency, some clients prefer the sound to that of the standard Volcano.
