Definitive Technology DN8

Definitive Technology DN8 Ultra-Performance, 500W 8″ Subwoofer with Dual 8″ Bass Radiators

Sized to fit anywhere, the Definitive Technology DN8 performs bigger, louder and clearer than other 8″ subwoofers. Its unique 3XR™ Architecture creates three times the radiating surface area of similarly sized ported subs, providing more bass. And because it uses passive bass radiators, you get that big, thrilling bass with no port noise distortion.

Passive Radiators for louder, lower, cleaner bass

As the core technology behind Descend’s 3XR Architecure, its passive bass radiators enable the Definitive Technology DN8 to play as loud and low as a 10” ported sub without unwanted port noise distortion. Passive radiators also deliver a smooth frequency response like a sealed sub, but with the port-like ability to play louder and lower in a smaller enclosure.

What you get is the best of both worlds: louder, clearer bass than a ported sub from a smaller enclosure than a sealed sub.

Maximun Impact

The Definitive Technology DN8 is equipped with a 500-watt peak custom Class D digital amplifier, designed to get the most out of the DN8’s 3XR Architecture. This custom amplification provides the Descend DN8 enough power and efficiency to play as low as 35Hz from a one-foot wide box.

Custom Class D Digital Amplification for immediate impact

Because the Definitive Technology DN8 Class D amplifier is so efficient, little power is wasted as heat, and its entire output is dedicated to providing significantly smoother bass and greater impact. This allows the DN8 subwoofer to blend naturally into any audio system while producing greater volume and impact than competitive designs.

Plays Well With Others

You can customize the Definitive Technology DN8 to the needs of your application, system and space. The DN8 features built-in controls for variable volume, low pass filter and phase (0/180°) for optimum bass levels and the ability to customize it to the specific needs of your system.

One, two, or four subs for smoother bass throughout the room

While a single subwoofer can add bass and enhanced realism to any system, it may not provide consistent frequency response throughout the room.

When two or more subwoofers are properly employed throughout the room, sound waves disperse more evenly, flattening the frequency response. The result is smoother bass throughout the room, helping to eliminate boomy locations or dead spots.

KEY BENEFITS

3XR™ Architecture for Loud & Clear Bass
Descend Series subwoofers feature Definitive Technology’s new 3XR™ Architecture, providing three times the bass-producing radiating surface area of a traditional ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, resulting in massive bass. And because 3XR™ doesn’t use ports, it provides crystal-clear lows with no port noise distortion.

Fits Nearly Everywhere
The DN8 is just over one foot wide, enabling it to fit virtually any room or system. And due to its 3XR™ Architecture, it performs like a 10″ subwoofer even though it has an 8″ driver. With the DN8, you get tons of bass from a 1′ sub.

Custom Class D Digital Amplification
The DN8 is equipped with a 500W peak custom Class D digital amplifier, designed to get the most out of the DN8’s 3XR™ Architecture. This custom amplification gives the Descend DN8 enough power and efficiency to play as low as 35Hz.

Control & Customization
You can customize the DN8 to the needs of your own application, system and space. The DN8 features built-in controls to adjust volume, lowpass filter and phase (0/180°) for optimum bass levels. Set its power toggle to Auto on/off or DC control for fast and easy on/off power switching.
