Definitive Technology Descend DN8 Subwoofer for Music & Movies - 500W Class D Amplifier, 3XR Architecture

The Definitive Technology Descend DN8 subwoofer introduces an innovative 3XR Architecture, which offers three times the bass-radiating surface area compared to standard 8” subwoofers. This remarkable design allows the DN8 to perform like a 10” subwoofer housed in an 8” driver cabinet, producing louder and more defined low frequencies without any distortion caused by unwanted port noise.

Equipped with dual 8” Bass Radiators that are pressure-coupled to an 8” driver, the DN8 also features a robust 500W peak Class D amplifier. This combination ensures an impressive, impactful bass response that is not only powerful but also fast, musical, and controlled—capable of reaching depths as low as 34Hz.

For a tailored listening experience, the DN8 comes with user-friendly controls conveniently located on the back panel. Users can easily adjust the volume, low pass filter, and phase control settings (0/180°), allowing them to customize their audio output according to their preferences. The power switch offers flexibility with options for Auto on/off or DC control, simplifying the power management for the subwoofer and other connected home theater components.

Digitally optimized, the DN8 elevates your movies and music, making it an essential addition to any home theater setup. It allows for easy connectivity through LFE or stereo line-level RCA inputs (cables not provided). Furthermore, for an even more immersive audio experience, consider adding another DN8 subwoofer to your entertainment configuration. This addition enhances realism and ensures consistent bass distribution throughout the listening environment, placing you at the heart of the action, regardless of where you are in the room.
