Definitive Technology DNSUB8 Black Descend DN8 Subwoofer
The most musically advanced compact subwoofer
The Definitive Technology Descend DN8 is an advanced, compact subwoofer designed in California for both music and home theater. Powered by a 500W peak Class D amplifier and an 8” driver that’s pressure-coupled with two 8” Ultra Low Bass Radiators, it delivers powerful bass with amazing speed, musicality, and control.
Key Features
- 3XRTM Architecture for as much bass as a ported 10" 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 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. - Custom Class D Digital Amplification for immediate impact
Because the 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. - Back Panel Controls for optimized bass levels
Manually adjust DN8’s variable volume, low pass filter, and phase so it always sounds perfect within your system.
Features
- Deep Transcending Bass for Home Theater and Music
Powered by a 500W Class D amplifier, the DN8 features a new 8” driver, pressure-coupled to two 8” ultra-low Bass Radiators that deliver powerful bass with amazing speed, musicality, and control while playing as low as 34Hz. Feel and hear every detail as you rediscover your favorite movies and music. - Dual 8” Bass Radiators
The DN8 is outfitted with dual 8” Bass Radiators that are pressure coupled to the 8” driver. The custom Bass Radiators enable the DN8 to play louder and lower with less distortion than traditionally ported subwoofers. - Universal Compatibility
The DN8 is the perfect complement to any home theater system, you can easily connect via LFE or stereo line level RCA inputs (cables not included). - Modern, Minimalist Design
The non-resonant cabinet is beautifully designed and available in two modern, acoustically transparent colors: Midnight Black and Glacier White. - Top of the Line Class D Digital Amplifier
Equipped with a 500W peak Class D digital amplifier, the Descend DN8 has enough power and efficiency to play as low as 34Hz - Complete Control

Set power toggle to Auto on/off or DC control for fast and easy on/off power switching in the sub and other home theater equipment—all easily accessible on the back panel. - Limited Warranty, Built to Last
