LAS VEGAS, NV (11.07.25) – BLAUPUNKT has announced the debut of the BP-1200A, a 12-inch active subwoofer enclosure. This all-in-one (AIO) system is engineered to deliver powerful low-frequency output by perfectly matching a high-excursion 12-inch driver with a high-efficiency, built-in Class-D amplifier.

The BP-1200A is designed as a streamlined solution for installers and enthusiasts seeking significant bass impact without the complexity of component matching. The system is built around a robust 12-inch, 4-ohm Single Voice Coil (SVC) driver capable of handling 250W continuous (RMS) and 500W peak power.

The driver’s formidable performance stems from its advanced material science and engineering:

• Cone & Surround: A rigid, injection-molded polypropylene (PP) cone ensures minimal flex and fast transient response, while a high-roll rubber surround facilitates the driver’s impressive 10mm of linear excursion (Xmax).
• Motor Structure: A powerful ferrite magnet assembly provides the high magnetic flux necessary for precise cone control and efficiency.
• Acoustic Parameters: The driver’s Thiele/Small (T/S) parameters are optimized for performance, featuring a low resonant frequency fs of 29Hz and a Qts of 0.49. This engineering results in a system with a wide frequency response of 25Hz to 500Hz, allowing it to reproduce the lowest sub-harmonics with authority.

The integrated Class-D amplifier is factory-tuned to the driver’s 250W RMS power handling, eliminating the guesswork of amplifier pairing. This high-efficiency topology ensures maximum power is converted to sound, not heat, resulting in a system that is both powerful and reliable, even in compact install locations.

“The BP-1200A addresses the critical market need for a high-performance, all-in-one bass solution,” said Chuck Kenney, National Sales Manager. “We’ve engineered the driver and amplifier as a single, cohesive system. Installers will appreciate the simplicity, and customers will be impressed by the deep, accurate bass that comes from a driver with a 29Hz fs and 10mm of Xmax.”

The system is housed in a durable, tuned enclosure and features a protective trim ring, making it a rugged and professional addition to any vehicle’s audio system.

BLAUPUNKT BP-1200A Key Specifications:

• System Type: 12” Powered Subwoofer Enclosure
• Amplifier Topology: Integrated Class-D
• Woofer: 12” SVC
• Continuous Power Handling (RMS): 250W
• Peak Power Handling: 500W
• Frequency Response: 25Hz – 500Hz

LAS VEGAS, NV (11.06.25) – ORACLE Lighting has announced the debut of the world’s first lensless LED headlight, setting a new benchmark in vehicle lighting. Introduced at the 2025 SEMA Show, this patent-pending design marks a radical departure from a century-old industry standard.

“For over 25 years, ORACLE Lighting has been at the forefront of lighting innovation,” said Justin Hartenstein, Founder and Director of Product Development. “Today, we’re proud to share a world-first: a headlight that completely eliminates the traditional lens creating something that is both extremely beneficial and disruptive to industry standards.”

Automotive headlights have relied on a clear outer lens since the early 1880s, when flames projected light though a transparent glass lens. Almost150 years later, despite advances in lighting sources, the presence of this transparent lens has remained unchanged…until now.

ORACLE’s new lensless headlight removes a failure-prone component of the headlight system. Instead of a transparent lens, the design features sealed modular LED emitters housed directly within the assembly, each with an IP68 ingress rating and equipped with active thermal management for superior reliability and performance. The result is a rugged, streamlined design that delivers superior reliability without sacrificing output or functionality.

Most importantly, this design directly addresses the top consumer complaints about headlights. Issues like fogging, cracking, hazing, yellowing, oxidation, and water intrusion are all byproducts of the outer lens. By removing the lens entirely, ORACLE has effectively eliminated these problems providing a better customer experience.

Another standout benefit of the system is its serviceability. Unlike most modern LED headlights, which are non-serviceable and must be replaced as a complete unit, often costing thousands of dollars, ORACLE’s lensless modular architecture allow individual replacement of any light function, including the daytime running light, high beam, or low beam. These can be replaced by the user with simple tools often without the need to even remove the headlight from the vehicle greatly reducing long-term ownership costs and environmental waste.

The new assembly also features reinforced, removable mounting brackets that can be easily replaced in the event of damage. This modular approach not only simplifies installation and repair but also allows the headlight to ship in a more compact package—reducing shipping costs and inventory footprint for distributors and retailers.

Aesthetically, the lensless format allows for a sleek, sculpted housing that becomes a focal design element on the vehicle. Another benefit is because there is no outer lens the headlight housing can be paint-matched to the vehicle’s body color, offering a new level of visual customization and personalization that was previously impossible.

While the product debuts on the 3^rd Gen Toyota Tacoma, ORACLE has confirmed additional fitments in development for platforms including the Toyota 4Runner and Ford F-150, with even more applications to be announced soon. The system is expected to retail between $800 and $900 per set, with availability beginning in January 2026.

“This technology platform isn’t just about one truck or one product,” added Hartenstein. “We believe this is the future of vehicle lighting—and we’re proud to be leading that charge.”

The new lensless LED headlight will be on display at the ORACLE Lighting booth (#57147, West Hall) throughout the 2025 SEMA Show.
