SUB 8005-AS
ACTIVE SUBWOOFER
DESCRIPTION
The SUB 8005-AS is on of the most powerful 21” subwoofers in pro-sound
category.
Featuring a high power, hypervented 21” woofer, with 4.5” inside/outside
voice coils, this cabinet is designed to deliver a serious amount of low
frequency
Powered by a 2500W digital amplifier module, the SUB 8005-AS can perform
in the most demanding situations. As a self-powered system, the transducers,
amplification and DSP control electronics of the SUB 8005-AS are designed to
optimize performance and maximize its power.
The SUB 8005-AS ‘s efficiently tuned cabinet houses two RCF Precision backvented, long-excursion, new high power 21” inch cone drivers, providing a
deep and controlled reproduction of the bass frequency range. Featuring a
4,5” inside/outside voice coil to minimize power compression and extend the
life of this product.
The drivers have also been engineered for extreme efficiency, using highgauss ferrite magnets for the most powerful magnetic field strength. High
magnetic field strength increases the driver’s sensitivity, which yields greater
output, while keeping heat dissipation requirements within operational
tolerances.
Powered by a 1250W digital amplifier module, the SUB 8005-AS can perform
in the most demanding situations. The input board includes volume control,
deep/punch switch, high pass switch, phase switch, cardioid, time delay.
An easy to reach delay knob on the back allows to set the overall delay of the
speaker, in meters, according to its application. 3 status LEDs – Power / Signal
/ Status are provided for monitoring the system
The amplifier features a solid mechanical aluminium structure which not
only stabilize the amplifier during transportation but also assist in the heat
dissipation and, with DSP control electronics and power supply, is integrated
into a single, field-replaceable module mounted in the rear of the cabinet.
The cabinet is constructed of multi-ply hardwood and coated with a textured
black finish. Integral metal grilles lined with acoustical black mesh protect the
cone drivers. Integrated mechanics are for multiple configuration with HDL
20-A and HDL 10-A.
