Definitive Technology Descend DN12 12" Subwoofer (2021 Model) - Optimized for Movies and Music, New 3XR Architecture, 1500W Peak Class H Amplifier & (2) Pressure-Coupled 12" Bass Radiators, Black

The Definitive Technology Descend DN12 12" Subwoofer is engineered to deliver reference-level bass performance for both movies and music. At its core is the innovative 3XR™ Architecture, which combines a 12" long-throw active woofer with two pressure-coupled 12" passive radiators. This design provides triple the bass-producing surface area of a traditional 12" ported subwoofer, allowing the DN12 to move more air and achieve deeper, louder, and cleaner bass without the distortion often caused by traditional ports.

Powering the DN12 is a robust 1500W peak (500W RMS) Class H digital amplifier. This advanced amplifier dynamically adjusts its voltage rails for maximum efficiency, delivering sustained, distortion-free bass even during demanding low-frequency moments in music and film. The amplifier is managed by a 56-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP) that ensures precise control, extending bass response and protecting the woofer from overload at high volumes.

The subwoofer’s Intelligent Phase Control™ and customizable settings allow seamless integration with any audio system. Users can fine-tune phase, volume, crossover frequency, and EQ, ensuring the DN12 blends perfectly with main speakers for a cohesive and immersive listening experience. The included remote and onboard display make adjustments effortless, while the sleek black finish and compact footprint allow for flexible placement in any room.
