The Definitive Technology Descend DN8 is a compact, digitally optimized subwoofer designed for movies and music. It is outfitted with dual 8” Bass Radiators that are pressure coupled to the 8” driver and 500W peak Class D amplification that deliver powerful bass with amazing speed, musicality, and control even at 34Hz. Featuring the unique 3XR Architecture with three-times the bass-producing surface area of traditional subwoofers, the DN8 performs like a 10” sub and delivers louder and clearer lows without any unwanted port noise distortion. Built-in controls easily accessible at the back panel allows variable volume, low pass filter and phase control (0/180°) for optimum bass levels. 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. A perfect complement to any home theater system, you can easily connect the DN8 via LFE or stereo line level RCA inputs (cables not included). Add another, same-model subwoofer to your home audio set up to dramatically improve realism, smooth out peaks and dips, as well as to get an even bass response for all your movies and music. Be at the center of action from any part of the room!

A Powerful, Upgraded Subwoofer More efficient than previous DT subs and a perfect addition to your home theater, the Definitive Technology Descend DN8 features an 8" driver and (2) pressure-coupled 8" Ultra Low Bass Radiators, and the new 3XR Architecture for an amazing audio experience
More Bass from the Same Space Featuring the new 3XR Architecture with three-times the bass-producing radiating surface area of a traditional ported subwoofer, the DN8 performs like a 10” sub in an 8” cabinet. The 3XR does not have ports, resulting in crystal-clear lows with no port noise
Bigger, Dynamic Audio for Movies & Music Equipped with an advanced digitally-tuned 500W peak Class D Amplifier that uses optimal power and reduces digital noise, this subwoofer delivers detailed audio and superior musicality with a deep, transcending bass
Modern, Minimalistic Designs Featuring a non-resonant, beautifully-designed and acoustically transparent cabinet, the Descend DN8 adds a dash of sophistication to your home decor. It blends perfectly, looks great, and sounds even better
Versatile Connection Options Easily connect your home entertainment setup with this subwoofer via LFE or stereo line level RCA inputs (cables not included). The DN8 is perfect from most home theater setups
Built-In Controls For convenient operations, the back panel features controls for variable volume, low pass filter, phase toggle (0/180°) for optimum bass, power toggle (Auto On/Off or DC Control) for fast power switching - all controls you need for smooth functioning
Add an Additional Sub for Thunderous Sound By adding another same-model subwoofer, amplify every crunch, explosion, and roar, and feel at the center of the action. The result will be dramatically improved realism, smoother peaks, and an even bass response across the room

No needed
Wasn’t a necessary addition to my stereo system. Nothing more to say but they require a minimum of 50 characters

I recently experienced
I recently experienced perfect service at this restaurant. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring all our needs were met. The atmosphere was inviting, and the wait time for our orders was minimal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience!

Def Sub - Base is rediculously Great.
After Upgrading to Denon AVR-X4800 and HDMI cables. I decided to upgrade my Speakers. This Sub is so Awesome. Major sound difference than my older one. Not sure why Definitive Technology is pulling out of the market.

Tiny But Powerful
I love the fact that this sub is so small it can hide almost anywhere, yet punches well above it’s size. For me it was added as a 2nd sub, but could perform well on it’s own in anything but a huge room.

Excellent addition to home theater.
Excellent addition to my home theater. Awesome, clean low frequency response considering the size.

Great little subwoofer
Great little subwoofer. Goes low for such a small package. Great for my PC setup with Swan D200 speakers.

Subwoofer
Great subwoofer matches my system perfectly. Love the sound I’m getting.

A Nice Addition To My Home Theater/Sound System
I purchased this sub as a replacement for an expensive Velodyne subwoofer that was continuing to have problems. So far, I have been happy with my purchase. I have a fairly large living room and this sub fills the space nicely. For the price this subwoofer rocks!
