Definitive Technology DNSUB10 Black Descend DN10 Subwoofer
Advanced 10” subwoofer for both music and home theater
Definitive Technology Descend DN10 is an advanced 10” subwoofer designed in California for both music and home theater listening. The 10” subwoofer with dual 10” bass radiators is powered by a powerful, modern 500W peak Class D amplifier. Playing as low as 28Hz, you’ll hear every detail and feel the explosive action.
Key Features
- Deep Transcending Bass for Home Theater and Music
The new 10” subwoofer with dual pressure coupled, 10” Bass Radiators is powered by an advanced, 500W peak Class D amplifier. Playing as low as 28Hz, you’ll hear every detail and feel all the explosive action. - Dual 10” Bass Radiators
The DN10 is outfitted with dual 10” Bass Radiators that are pressure coupled to the 10” driver. The custom Bass Radiators enable the DN10 to play louder and lower with less distortion than traditionally ported subwoofers. - Powerful 500W Peak Class D Amplifier
Equipped with a state-of-the-art, peak 500W Class D amplifier, the DN10 is more efficient for both Home Theater and 2-channel listening. Because the Class D amplifier uses optimal power, no power is ever wasted and excess digital noise is minimized. - Modern, Minimalist Design
The non-resonant cabinet is beautifully designed and available in two modern, acoustically transparent colors: Midnight Black and Glacier White. - Complete Control
Built-in controls for variable volume, low pass filter and phase (0/180°) for optimum bass levels. Set power toggle to Auto on/off or DC control for fast and easy on/off power switching on the sub and other home theater equipment—all easily accessible on the back panel. - Universal Compatibility
Connect via LFE (unfiltered / low pass disabled) or stereo line level RCA inputs—complements any home theater system (cables not included). - Limited Warranty, Built to Last
Designed in California, engineered in Baltimore and manufactured under the strictest quality controls, Definitive Technology speakers and subwoofers are built to sound as good as they look. All Definitive Technology products come with a limited warranty (1 year on amplifier, 2 years on driver).
Features
All the Bass You Need
- Deep Impact
Descend’s unique 3XR Architecture provides triple the bass-producing radiating surface area of a traditional ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, resulting in massive low end. And because 3XR doesn’t use ports, it also provides crystal-clear sound with no port noise distortion. - Loud & Clear
As the core technology behind Descend’s 3XR Architecure, its passive bass radiators enable the DN10 to play as loud and low as a 12” 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. - More Bass
The custom amplifiers used in Descend Series subwoofers were designed to get the most out of Descend’s unique 3XR™ Architecture. Optimized for efficiency and a strict avoidance of distortion, Descend’s amps deliver consistently dynamic performance with the ability to push hard for maximum impact when needed.
Even More Bass from the Same Space
- 3XRTM Architecture for as much bass as a ported 12" subwoofer
Descend’s unique 3XR Architecture provides triple the bass-producing surface area of a traditional ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, resulting in massive low end. And because 3XR doesn’t use ports, it also provides crystal-clear sound 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 DN10 to play as loud and low as a 12” 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. - Custom Class D Digital Amplification
Because the DN10 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 DN10 subwoofer to blend naturally into any audio system while producing greater volume and significantly deeper impact than competitive designs. - Back Panel Controls for optimized bass levels
You can customize the DN10 to the needs of your application, system and space. The DN10 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.
