The Definitive Technology Descend DN8 is engineered to deliver exceptional low-frequency performance in a compact design. Its innovative 3XR architecture incorporates an 8-inch long-throw woofer and dual 8-inch passive radiators, offering three times the bass-producing surface area of conventional ported subwoofers. This advanced design moves more air for powerful, dynamic bass while eliminating port noise and distortion. The result is deep, impactful sound typically found in larger subwoofers.
At its core, the DN8 is powered by a 500W peak Class D amplifier, designed for maximum efficiency and low distortion. This ensures clean, powerful bass output without excessive heat buildup, making it ideal for high-impact sound effects and deep musical notes.
The DN8 also offers versatile customization options through an intuitive rear-panel control system. Users can fine-tune the volume, low-pass crossover (60Hz – 120Hz), and phase settings (0°/180°) for seamless integration with any audio setup. Connectivity is equally flexible, featuring LFE input and left/right 5-way binding posts for easy pairing with home theater and stereo systems.
Designed for both aesthetics and functionality, the DN8 is available in Midnight Black or Glacier White, blending effortlessly into any living space. With permanently installed rubber feet, stability is ensured without the need for manual adjustments. Whether for movies, music, or gaming, the DN8 delivers deep, room-filling bass that enhances every listening experience.
