Definitive Technology Descend DN10 Subwoofer
Description
Ultra-Performance, 500W 10” Subwoofer with Dual 10” Bass Radiators
DN10’s unique 3XR™ Architecture means it delivers all the bass you need and then some, performing significantly louder and clearer than other 10” subwoofers.
Deep Impact
As low as 28Hz
Loud & Clear
Unique 3XR Architecture
More Bass
Like a 12” subwoofer in a 10” sub cabinet
3XR™ Architecture
Even More Bass from the Same Space
Descend’s unique 3XR Architecture provides triple the bass-producing surface area of a traditional ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, resulting in massive low end. And because 3XR doesn’t use ports, it also provides crystal-clear sound with no port noise distortion.
Passive Radiators for louder, lower, cleaner bass
As the core technology behind Descend’s 3XR Architecure, its passive bass radiators enable the DN10 to play as loud and low as a 12” 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.
Powerful Amplification Deep Impact
The DN10 is equipped with a 500-watt peak custom Class D digital amplifier, designed to get the most out of the DN10’s 3XR Architecture. This custom amplification provides the DN10 enough power and efficiency to play as low as 28Hz without taking up a ton of space.
Custom Class D Digital Amplification for deep bass
Because the DN10 Class D amplifier is so efficient, little power is wasted as heat, and its entire output is dedicated to providing significantly smoother bass and greater impact. This allows the DN10 subwoofer to blend naturally into any audio system while producing greater volume and significantly deeper impact than competitive designs.
Control & Customization
Plays Well With Others
You can customize the DN10 to the needs of your application, system and space. The DN10 features built-in controls for variable volume, low pass filter and phase (0/180°) for optimum bass levels and the ability to customize it to the specific needs of your system.
