CW8
Years Active 2016-2020
The CW8 places all the power in the hands of installer and client. Engineered for control in operation, bass quality and concealment in-room, the compact CW8 cube will add explosive bass frequencies to music and AV systems when tucked behind furniture on room boundaries.
Each little bass-engine is generously specified with custom installation in mind, providing versatile input and control options including RS232 and a dedicated ‘SubConnect’ PC applet via a wired USB interface.
The compact rigid 18 mm MDF cubic cabinets with regular 25.5 cm dimensions incorporate no fewer than three robust, similarly sized 8" C-CAM drivers. Each system array comprises an active high-excursion drive unit powered and trimmed by potent DSP-tuned amplification, together with twin side-mounted ABRs (Auxiliary Bass Radiators).
This product is now available to use with home theatre design software, The CEDIA Designer. Read more.
