What makes the Definitive Technology supercube 8000 so good?
If you are a fan of Definitive Technology or if you are simply a bass fan, take a look at the SuperCube 8000. This sub, according to the company, features a designed-from-the-ground-up brawny Class HD digital tracking amplifier that is optimized for real world power demands to deliver low distortion and high output.
Is the supercube 8000 a good bass subwoofer?
Buckle up for some thunderous bass! If you are a fan of Definitive Technology or if you are simply a bass fan, take a look at the SuperCube 8000.
What kind of Eq does the sc8000 have?
The SC8000 incorporates an 11-inch active woofer, two 12-inch passive radiators, and a 1,500-watt “digital tracking” amp. (I take it that means a digitally controlled Class H amp, not a Class D switching-type amp.) No auto-EQ, but at least it has four EQ presets intended to tailor the sound to your taste.
What’s the max output of a sc8000 sub?
The output of most large subs at the 40-, 50-, and 63-Hz measurement points is usually dictated by the internal limiter, but with the SC8000, I bumped against the limiter only at 50 Hz. At 63 Hz, what sounded like a mechanical buzz (the driver hitting the grille fabric, maybe?) limited the max usable output.

Results for the SuperCube 8000 were a little unusual. The output of most large subs at the 40-, 50-, and 63-Hz measurement points is usually dictated by the internal limiter, but with the SC8000, I bumped against the limiter only at 50 Hz.
How much does a DefTech sm65 subwoofer cost?
Even though the SM65’s purported 30-Hz bass response should let non-bass-freaks get by without a subwoofer, DefTech hedged its bet by sending me its new top-of-the-line sub, the $1,499 SuperCube 8000.

How big are the speakers on the DefTech studiomonitor?
The SM65 is the flagship of the StudioMonitor line, DefTech’s first new bookshelf speakers in nearly 10 years. It contains two 5.25-inch midrange/woofers and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. The middle model, the $599-per-pair SM55, has the same tweeter, a 6.5- inch midrange/woofer, and a 6-by-10-inch radiator.
