RCF SUB 808-AS W - 2000W 2 x 8-inch Powered Subwoofer with 2.5-inch Voice Coils and RDNet in White Finish

The RCF SUB 808-AS W is a compact yet powerful 2000W active subwoofer designed to deliver deep, articulate bass with precision and clarity. Featuring dual 8-inch neodymium woofers, the SUB 808-AS W produces a remarkable 129 dB max SPL, making it an ideal choice for professional sound systems, whether used as a stand-alone subwoofer, in subwoofer arrays, or as a complement to RCF's KX 515-A speaker. This subwoofer is powered by a robust two-channel 2000W Class-D amplifier, ensuring high efficiency and minimal distortion for pristine bass reproduction.

Built with RCF's advanced DSP processing technology, the SUB 808-AS W offers exceptional sound quality. It utilizes Bass Motion Control (BMC) technology, which allows the woofers to handle the lowest audible frequencies without compromising stability or sound integrity. By eliminating the need for traditional high-pass filters, the BMC method ensures a more linear response, resulting in superior bass performance. The subwoofer's frequency response spans from 40 Hz to 400 Hz, providing full-range bass that enhances the depth of any audio system.

The SUB 808-AS W features RDNet network management, offering remote monitoring and control through RCF's proprietary software suite. This platform allows engineers to adjust EQ, delay, and cardioid options, as well as customize crossover presets to suit the specific requirements of their sound system. RDNet's intuitive interface also provides real-time feedback on essential parameters like temperature, transducer status, fan speed, and limiter settings, ensuring that the system runs smoothly during demanding performances.

Designed for rigorous touring and professional environments, the SUB 808-AS W is housed in a durable Baltic birch plywood enclosure, treated with a weatherproof Polyurea finish that provides excellent protection against UV, water, and abrasion. The subwoofer's compact, low-profile design includes rubber feet for added stability and threaded pole mounts for flexible deployment, allowing users to position the subwoofer horizontally or vertically. A strong, powder-coated metal grille protects the subwoofer's transducers, while acoustically transparent foam backing ensures that dust and humidity are kept at bay, maintaining optimal performance.

The SUB 808-AS W is a versatile subwoofer, offering high power and precise control in a compact package. Whether used for standalone applications or as part of a larger array, it delivers powerful bass and seamless integration with other RCF systems. Its robust build quality, innovative features, and ease of use make it an excellent choice for professionals in need of reliable, high-performance low-frequency sound reinforcement.
