Introduction and Overview
The subwoofer is the heart of any home theatre
system, providing an exhilaration that brings the
sound stage physically to life. That is why the same
level of attention and care has been taken to develop
the Reference Series Model 208 subwoofer as the
rest of the Reference Series range.
Key components of any subwoofer are
the drive unit, amplifier and enclosure,
which in the Model 208 have been
perfectly harmonised to
deliver gloriously extended,
immaculately controlled bass
that floods the listening area.
A 300mm (12in.) drive unit
designed with the highest
quality components utilises an
optimised Strontium Ferrite
magnet system that gives 24mm
(0.94in.) peak-to-peak of totally linear
excursion. Delivering low distortion,
accurately controlled bass whether for music
or fast action cinema soundtracks.
To get the very best out of the drive unit a 500W
Class D amplifier has been custom designed to form
a seamless partnership. Utilising a switched mode
power supply, top end performance can be delivered
in a highly efficient unit without compromising
cabinet design.
The acoustically inert cabinet is beautifully hand
finished with a level of craftsmanship and attention
to detail that complements the precision of
the components it contains. The Bass
reflex design incorporates a finely
tuned port, delivering both
performance and refinement.
Connectivity and flexibility are
paramount which is why the
Model 208 has been
comprehensively specified.
A range of connection options
including phono, balanced XLR
and high level speaker inputs ease
installation. A cinema and music
EQ option enables quick setup and
the subwoofer level, crossover
frequency, phase and slope can all be
tuned to meet individual needs.
Overall, every element of the Model 208 has been
designed to reproduce low frequency effects with
delicacy and precision together with the excitement
of sheer power and performance.
