Definitive Technology Descend Series DN12 12 1500W Subwoofer (Midnight Black)

EAN: 747192132644

Add enhanced bass to your home entertainment experience with the midnight black Definitive Technology Descend Series DN12 12 1500W Subwoofer. It features a 12 long-throw woofer that outputs up to 500W of RMS power to add low bass rumble to nearly any listening environment, and two 12 passive radiators further enhance the low-end soundstage. With a frequency response of 25 to 150 Hz, the DN12 is equipped to handle a variety of listening material.

3XR Architecture for Size-Defying Bass Power

The DN12 s 3XR Architecture provides triple the bass-producing radiating surface area of a traditional 15 ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, enabling the DN12 to play as loud and low as a two similarly sized 18 ported subwoofers. And because 3XR doesn t use ports, the DN12 also provides crystal-clear bass with no port noise distortion.

Passive Radiators for Louder, Lower, Cleaner Bass

As the core technology behind Descend s 3XR Architecture, its passive bass radiators enable the DN12 to play as loud and low as a 15 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.

Reference-Level Performance

Powered by Class-H digital amplification, and with an advanced 56-bit DSP that includes three custom EQ modes, the DN12 plays exceptionally impactful bass down to 25 Hz. Its advanced 1500 W peak Class-H digital amplifier delivers continuous power to cleanly reproduce sustained bass below 25 Hz. With real-time monitoring and adjustments to the sliding rail voltage, the DN12 delivers considerably higher power during short, transient peaks such as bass drum kicks and on-screen artillery blasts.

Advanced 56-Bit DSP for Distortion-Free Longevity

The advanced 56-bit digital signal processor (DSP) extends and improves the DN12 s bass response. It tightly monitors and controls the woofer system to prevent distortion and woofer damage at ultra-high volumes with a minimum of audible artifacts.

Built-In EQ Modes

With three built-in performance EQ modes, the DN12 can be optimized to your room and listening preferences and adjusted to match whatever you re listening to.

• Flat Mode: The DN12 s default setting out of the box, Flat Mode provides the most balanced performance, as determined by Definitive Technology s acoustic experts, providing the perfect harmony between low end extension and full spectrum maximum output.
• Deep Mode: This mode provides additional low-end output, but sacrifices some maximum SPL to do so. This makes Deep Mode excellent for music, where frequency range is so critical, so instruments like a pipe organ or an upright bass are fully and evenly reproduced.
• Loud Mode: The opposite of Deep Mode, Loud Mode sacrifices some low-end output while gaining output in all other frequencies. Loud Mode is excellent for home theater, to best accentuate explosions and other special audio effects.

Control and Customization

With breakthrough technologies such as Intelligent Phase Control, easy settings management with its dedicated remote control, and advanced custom integration capabilities, the DN12 is easily optimized to the specifics of your system.

Intelligent Phase Control for Flawless System Blending

Intelligent Phase Control provides a full 360° of customizable phase adjustment, always centered around the settings of the low-pass filter. This provides the ability to tune the subwoofer for minimal group delay between speakers and a flawless blending experience between your speakers and the subwoofer.

Remote Control with On-Sub LED Display

Easily adjust the DN12 s volume level, phase, and EQ with its slim remote control. There s no need to constantly get up to manually change settings or wonder if you ve gotten them right.

Custom Integration Ready

With both a 12V input and IR pass-through, you have the ability to pair the subwoofer with most control systems and place the subwoofer wherever you want in the room and still experience full functionality.
