Cardioid directivity extended down to 50Hz, this is not merely deeper bass it is deeper directivity control, reducing the impact of front wall reflections and room modes in the region where room interaction is most harmful.
Deeply controlled vertical directivity helping reduce colouration from floor and ceiling reflections.
True full-range low frequency extension, C8C + BX8C delivers bass extension down to F3 at 28Hz ( thats anechoic -3DB your will increase that bass extension and headroom).
The BX8C adds +9DB of additional bass headroom across the 20-200 Hz region.
Further reduction of mid-woofer non-linearity, with the front sub-woofers handling a greater share of the low frequency workload the mid-woofers operate with much less excursion.
Keeping the drivers within their linear range, reducing IMD ( inter modulation distortion ).
The BX8c is not just a sub-woofer that adds more bass, it is an intelligent expansion module that extends cardioid directivity down to 50Hz, completely full-range bass and up to an additional 9dB of low frequency extension, further reducing mid driver IMD.
AsciLabs C8C is the finest measuring active cardioid loudspeaker currently available, adding the BX8C further enhances its performance.
The BX8C costs £5000.00 inc vat per pair during the 'pre-order' period, rising to £5500 inc vat in the New Year.
