HOW DID WE GET HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

~Bob Carver

 

The year was 1972. And a graduate student named Bob Carver was about to turn an ordinary classroom assignment into the beginning of an iconic brand of home audio products. That assignment—to build a machine that would simulate earthquakes—became the springboard for a four-decade run of innovative ‘firsts’ and ‘onlys’ that have continually raised the benchmark for the entire home audio industry. And while Bob’s history includes the launch of dozens of now legendary speakers, the real roots of his company lie in the development of high performance amplifiers. Those earlier icons have lead to today’s newest heroes—the remarkable, high-performance 401 Amplifiers. Each 401 Amplifiers product represents the latest thinking on the business of power from the company that has made the subject of power its main business. And, every Sunfire componentis Sunfire Optimized— meaning it is purpose-built to work best with any of our equally impressive speaker lines.

The Sunfire SDS (Subwoofer Driven System) series, comprising the SDS-8, SDS-10, and SDS-12 models, represents a significant advancement in subwoofer technology, providing an unparalleled audio experience for home theater enthusiasts and audiophiles alike. Each model is tailored to meet diverse needs, ensuring exceptional performance across various audio environments.

The SDS-8 is the smallest in the series, equipped with an 8-inch driver that employs Sunfire's innovative High-Excursion technology. This design allows for deep, impactful bass while maintaining precision and clarity. The SDS-8 is well-suited for smaller spaces, where it can deliver rich sound without overwhelming the room. The subwoofer features a compact design, making it easy to integrate into your home theater setup, and its rear-firing port enhances low-frequency response.

Moving up, the SDS-10 features a larger 10-inch driver that increases output and depth, perfect for those who crave a more powerful soundstage. It leverages the same High-Excursion technology as its smaller counterpart, ensuring tightly controlled bass that does not lose fidelity at higher volumes. An advanced built-in amplifier provides robust power while remaining efficient, allowing the SDS-10 to fill larger spaces with immersive sound.

At the top of the line, the SDS-12 boasts a 12-inch driver, delivering an even more impressive low-frequency performance. This model is engineered for both home theater and music applications, offering the kind of rumbling bass that enhances cinematic experiences while also providing the clarity needed for musical playback. The SDS-12 utilizes a dual-ported design that further enhances low-end output and reduces port noise, ensuring clean bass response even at high levels.

All three models incorporate Sunfire's patented BassTrac technology, which prevents distortion and ensures that the subwoofers respond to the full dynamics of the audio signal. They also boast a sleek, modern aesthetic that complements contemporary audio setups. Connectivity options are user-friendly, with line-level and speaker-level inputs, making integration with existing audio systems effortless.

In summary, the Sunfire SDS series — SDS-8, SDS-10, and SDS-12 — caters to varying space requirements and audio preferences, providing cutting-edge technology, powerful performance, and elegant design. Whether you're upgrading your home theater or seeking to enhance your music listening experience, these subwoofers deliver the quality and impact that discerning audio consumers demand.
