IWTS-8eIn-Wall Subwoofer

The woofer module is shown in its dedicated in-wall enclosure. Once it’s installed within the wall (new construction only) all you see is a gently curved perforated metal grille that projects into the room approximately 1½ inches. The grille and the trim ring around the woofer module are supplied in a matte white primer finish that can be used as is or painted to match the surrounding wall surface.

System Configurations

The SA-380 amplifier is a mono-block amplifier, which drives a single IWTS-8e SUB woofer module. Any number of amplifier/woofer modules may be used, depending on the system requirements. In small- to medium-sized rooms, it’s likely that a single amp/ woofer module will be all that’s needed for outstanding bass. For larger spaces (or when extremely loud bass reproduction is a necessity), two or more amplifier/ woofer modules can be used.

Subwoofer Features

The woofer module consists of two very powerful 8-inch drivers specially designed to deliver substantial bass energy from the in-wall enclosure. Because they’re only 8 inches in diameter, their cones respond very quickly to the amplifier’s signal.

In addition, the baffle is coated with a special compound called RDT™ (Resonance Dampening Treatment), designed to suppress unwanted baffle resonances and

maximize inner bass detail and articulation. The result is very “fast” bass response without boom or overhang: Music is taut and precise; special effects are powerful and room-filling.
