The SM8 S from Focal Professional is an advanced digital subwoofer that provides bass reinforcement to the SM8 digital nearfield monitor speaker. The subwoofer has a 13" long-throw driver to provide deep bass frequencies from the compact design. The driver uses Focal's "W" composite cone sandwich technology, which fine tunes the mass, rigidity, and damping parameters to optimize the frequency response.
Internal Class-D amplification delivers 500W RMS of power for strong, low-distortion audio and excellent efficiency. The sub has an analog XLR input, as well as a digital XLR AES input with a 24-bit/96kHz AD/DA converter for terrific flexibility and high-quality delivery of digital audio.
A built-in DSP system allows control of EQ, polarity, input mode, output level, presets, and delays. There are hardware controls for AES left/right channel selection and system control source selection. The woofer has RS-232 and MIDI connectors to give you flexible options for wired control. The MDF cabinet has internal bracing for lasting durability and has a universal power supply for international use.
