A/E's Take
If at all possible, add a sub to your system. It will afford the opportunity to expereince significantly more material from the music and movies you love to enjoy. If at all possible, add TWO of them for even more evenly distributed and effortless bass. These are by far the most advanced subs PSB has ever produced.
PSB Subseries BP8 / BP 8 / BP-8 / B P 8
Bass. Refined.
Meet the PSB SubSeries BP8 powered subwoofer - a game-changer in the world of precision bass. Proprietary bipolar dual 8” drivers, premium amplification and advanced isolation features work in synergy to deliver a granular level of detail while keeping distortion to a minimum. Transform your movies, music and games with deep, powerful bass and unmatched accuracy.
Pure, distortion-free bass.
Ensure your bass stays crystal clear by keeping unwanted vibrations at bay. Encased in a robust, acoustically inert sealed cabinet, the BP8’s proprietary opposing bipolar dual 8" drivers deliver distortion-free bass down to 20Hz. The in-phase, opposing driver configuration eliminates vibrations, ensuring efficient conversion of electrical power to pristine acoustic output. Say goodbye to port or passive radiator-induced noise and distortion, as the BP8 doesn't need any port plugs. With the help of Integrated IsoAcoustics isolation feet, it seamlessly detaches from room-generated vibrations and resonances for a pure and undisturbed audio experience.
Meticulously crafted for peak performance.
Inspired by the iconic driver design of the Synchrony and Passif 50 speakers, the drivers in the BP8 perform with linear piston-like movement, delivering optimal efficiency and power handling. Dual 8” drivers with woven carbon fibre cones, filleted rubber surrounds, 2.5” ultra-high powered voice coils and robust 45-ounce magnet structures work together to deliver unmatched accuracy and detail to bring granular detail to all your immersive entertainment.
Premium Amplification
Driven by renowned nCore technology, the BP8’s Hybrid Digital amplifier is conservatively rated at 500 watts – serious power to deliver epic dynamics for those big moments. Beyond being plentiful, this power is incredibly refined, allowing a high degree of precision and considerable control of the driver’s movement.
Small footprint. Size-defying sound.
The BP8 will defy your expectations with its performance and compact 14 x 13 x 13" (HWD) dimensions that outshine bulkier competitors. This sleek powerhouse, available in Satin Black and Satin White finishes, effortlessly blends precision engineering and style, making it a seamless addition to your home theatre setup.
