Martin Logan MartinLogan - Abyss 8, 8” Hybrid, Powered , with Magnitude MT-1kW Amplifier, Sub Control App, and Wireless Built-In

Abyss Series subwoofers offer a twist on traditional subwoofer design. Combining the enhanced output of a ported sub, with the smaller footprint and natural sound of a sealed sub, MartinLogan’s Hybrid Woofer System allows Abyss models to offer the best of both worlds. Packing an incredible feature list and impressive power into a stylish, super-compact, room friendly design, Abyss subwoofers deliver performance completely unexpected from their size. With technologies including built-in wireless signal connection, anti-vibration feet, and easy to use app control, Abyss Series subwoofers not only look and sound incredible, but are extremely user friendly. Abyss subwoofers utilize a Hybrid Woofer System, which pairs two custom designed, aluminum passive radiators with its active aluminum woofer. This driver layout provides the increased output and lower distortion of a ported design, while maintaining the more compact sizing, and tighter bass typically associated with a sealed design. While much more difficult to design and engineer, this Hybrid system gives Abyss Series subwoofers the benefits of both sealed and ported designs all in one. Utilizing state-of-the-art Klippel analysis, these proprietary Aluminum drivers are specially engineered for high output and low distortion. Aluminum, chosen for its low weight, high strength, and excellent heat dissipation, is ideal for the big power and small size of Abyss Series subwoofers. Although correct placement plays a key role in optimizing subwoofer performance, getting a cable where you need it can be challenging. With the inconvenience of running long lengths of cable through walls, along baseboards or under floors and carpets, properly concealing the subwoofer cable is not always a simple task. To solve the problem, Abyss Series subwoofers incorporate a built-in Wireless Receiver for use with the included Wireless Subwoofer Transmitter. With quick and easy setup thanks to direct pairing, eliminating cable clutter has never been easier and with lossless transmission and low latency, even the most discerning enthusiast will be thrilled with the results. Solid bass performance is a critical component of any audio system, and helps provide visceral impact to your entertainment. Abyss subwoofers use integrated anti-vibration feet to improve bass performance while reducing floor and wall vibrations. By dramatically reducing the energy transfer between the subwoofer and the floor, unwanted room rattles and buzzes are removed, leaving tighter, cleaner bass and improved system clarity and dynamics. As a less intrusive alternative to acoustic room treatments, these integrated anti-vibration feet can also help minimize noise complaints by reducing vibration transfers into adjoining rooms. Ideal for all floors, hard surface and carpet spike options are both included. Abyss subwoofers also take advantage of MartinLogan’s Subwoofer Control app for iOS and Android devices, allowing you to easily adjust settings
