	Infinity BassLink Subwoofer
		BassLink consists of a 10-inch subwoofer, 10-inch passive radiator and a 200-watt Class D amplifier housed in a rigid polymer enclosure, all carefully engineered to work together as a unique, integrated system.
		The BassLink system features a servo-control circuit that continually monitors the voice coil’s position in the magnetic gap and prevents the distortion that occurs when a conventional woofer is overdriven.
		BassLink’s frequency response in a typical vehicle is 20 to 100Hz (±3dB), but this varies according to the vehicle and user adjustments.

	For Immediate Release
		Basslink is a privately run, $500m project which proposes to run a 400 KV (sometimes referred to as 600 MW) direct current, mono-pole undersea interconnection from Tasmania to Victoria, with sea-electrodes either side of Bass Strait.
		Basslink is only a very temporary ‘fix’ to Victoria’s needs which under the current proposal comes at a very high capital, social and environmental cost.
		Basslink is not the most economical means of improving Victoria’s power supply and supply may be vulnerable in times of extreme weather conditions or component failure.

	Meeting Tasmania's Energy Needs for the 21st Century - Appendix 3, The Basslink Project
		The Basslink Development Board (BDB) was established by the Tasmanian Government in February 1998 to facilitate the development of Basslink in accordance with its decision in 1997.
		Basslink proponents were briefed on the various options being considered and also had the opportunity to provide input to the process.
		Basslink Pty Ltd is required to undertake acceptance tests (which include procedures designed to establish the conditions under which Basslink can operate in accordance with good electricity industry practice over the term of the BSA, being the "technical envelope") in consultation with Hydro Tasmania.

	Media Release: ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR BASSLINK PROJECT
		The $780 million Basslink project has moved a step closer to completion with the compulsory acquisition of properties vital to its construction, the Energy Minister, Theo Theophanous, announced today.
		Lawyers, acting on behalf of a number of landowners, had requested that the land be compulsorily acquired as they considered the process offered better protection to their clients.
		The project's proponent, Basslink Pty Ltd, together with building companies Siemens and Pirelli, were conducting a series of information days throughout Gippsland to explain the process for building the landmark project.

		The decision to issue a transmission licence is quite separate from any future decision by the Victorian Government during 2002, on whether or not to approve construction of Basslink, based on environmental considerations.
		The transmission licence does not authorise Basslink to commence construction on the interconnector or to adopt a particular type of construction.
		Basslink applied for a transmission licence in September 2000 to allow it to transmit electricity between Tasmania and Victoria over a high voltage direct current link.

	Basslink - Tasmania must demand better (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Basslink proponents are promoting the installation of a high voltage direct current electric power cable under Bass Strait to link the Tasmanian and Victorian power grids together.
		Basslink have said that changes in the voltage gradients will require them to pay for cathodic protection for many steel structures on land and the impact on marine wharves, jetties, moorings, steel fishing vessels and pipelines etc. is also likely to be of concern.
		Basslink claim it is economic factors and not environment protection critical to Tasmania that are driving their project agenda and on that basis the old technology cable would most likely suit their coffers very well.

	Peter Hall M.L.C. - Media Release
		Basslink is a project to link the Tasmanian electricity grid to the Victorian electricity grid.
		While it can be argued that Basslink in itself is an investment, it is an investment in a transmission line only and as such will only generate employment during construction.
		The visual amenity through those areas of Gippsland along the Basslink route is an invaluable asset and its destruction by the imposition of overhead cables and pylons is something that cannot be afforded.

	Department of Premier and Cabinet - Policy - Basslink
		Basslink is a project of national importance and will bring a number of strategic benefits to Tasmania and Victoria.
		The national benefits from Basslink include increasing the competitiveness of the NEM through the completion of the eastern seaboard electricity grid.
		The JAP recommended that Basslink be approved, recognising that the associated benefits are real and substantial and that, through the mitigation processes adopted, there are no significant environmental impacts associated with the project.

	Basslink
		Basslink will connect the Victorian High Voltage Transmission System at Loy Yang with the Tasmanian system at George Town, allowing electricity to be traded between the two states.
		Basslink will use a variety of things, such as over head lines for when it reaches land, under sea cables for when it has to cross bass strait, converter stations which will convert ac (alternating current) to dc (direct current).
		Basslink is a very expensive development and it is going to take some time before both states will actually able to it off.

	Basslink shock for Hydro Tasmania - Business - Business - theage.com.au
		THE opening of the Basslink power cable between Tasmania and Victoria this year is expected to cut Hydro Tasmania's annual profit for 2006-07 by $10 million, according to former chief executive Geoff Willis.
		Hydro promoted Basslink as a way of enhancing its operations, by allowing it to import cheap Victorian power during off-peak times and saving its hydro power for high price peaks on the mainland.
		The economics of Basslink moved against Hydro three years ago when concerns from owners of oil rigs in Bass Strait forced National Grid to install an earth cable on the line, which pushed the price up from $500 million to $780 million.

	Basslink Sucks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In deciding whether Basslink is a common-sense thing on grounds of economic efficiency and environmental sustainability, it is much more important to look at the likely physical flows of energy, than to take any cognisance of the paper contracts, trades and derivative markets.
		Basslink will also severely restrict market opportunities for new cogeneration projects to gain a toehold in the mainland market.
		The public consultation process for Basslink must be totally transparent, devoid of "fudging" uncomfortable realities, and the Tasmanian Government should provide an equal amount of funding* for opponents to develop alternative scenarios to Basslink.

	Basslink hinged on fragile river \| Mercury - The Voice of Tasmania
		BASSLINK'S impact on the Gordon River was a major focus in the assessment of the $780 million undersea cable.
		Hydro Tasmania's business case for the Basslink cable to Victoria was based on profiting from interstate peak demand, when prices were high.
		The Hydro told the Resource Planning and Development Commission (which assessed Basslink as a Project of State Significance over two years and approved it in 2002) there would be "no net impact" on the river.
