Description
The Dayton Audio Reference Series subwoofers take the quality and performance of the much acclaimed RS line into the subwoofer realm. As with the rest of the Reference Series, the main focus of the RSS265HF-8 10" subwoofer is ultra-low-distortion. Second, third, and intermodulation distortion are kept extremely low by utilising three short-circuit paths within the motor structure. A durable aramid fibre spider and extensive venting throughout provide quiet and uniform excursion. The black anodised cone, rubber surround, and custom basket give this driver a unique, high-end look. Choose this High Fidelity (HF) version for home speaker systems when your priority is clean, low bass and you are not restricted by cabinet size.
Features
- Extensively vented motor eliminates power compression and allows quiet excursion
- Lighter-weight black anodised aluminium cone minimises moving mass
- 2-layer coil for reduced back EMF
- Triple shorting-ring motor for ultra-low distortion
- Optimised for large enclosures
- Highest quality materials throughout for long-lasting performance
