DSP8000s are breathtaking in their ability to place musicians in precise locations in your room, with even subtle body movements clearly audible. The system also has the power to bring alive the most challenging motion picture sound track or rock band. The DSP8000 is designed to reproduce sounds at up to full natural level while providing all the resolution required by sources of up to 24bit and 192kHz. Such demanding dynamic resolution called for a new approach to cabinet construction and selection of advanced drive unit materials.  Product/DSP8000 Active Loudspeaker DSP loudspeaker drivers Each DSP8000 loudspeaker uses six multiple high-efficiency long-throw custom bass drive units. The bass units are mounted symmetrically in pairs on the sides of the bass cabinet, cancelling vibration in order to minimise interference with the mid-range and treble units. The treble and mid-range drivers are mounted in a separate sealed head assembly. The treble unit is a semi-horn-loaded composite dome design with a silver voice coil. The mid-range unit incorporates a cone made from a uniquely light and stiff combination of polymers to give unparalleled transparency. Power amplifiers The speakers are driven by five independent high-power low-feedback power amplifiers mounted on a multi-finned extruded heatsink. The combination of optimised magnetic design, careful star earthing, and very fast output devices gives the amplifiers extremely low noise, high detail, and fast bass. The whole electronic assembly is supplied from two substantial toroidal transformers feeding high-quality audiophile-grade capacitors. Cabinet Each DSP8000 loudspeaker is built within a precision manufactured cabinet, which uses innovative design techniques to give exceptionally low coloration and exquisite mid-range transparency. The head assembly is a sealed enclosure fabricated from curved pressure-laminated panels, each using multiple layers of selected woods and metal to provide high stiffness and damping. Its narrow, tapered shape offers optimum dispersion across a wide listening area. It is supported on the bass enclosure by three machined feet.  Four-way DSP active loudspeaker The ultimate expression of the art and science of loudspeaker design Self-contained audio system, each comprising eight custom drivers, five amplifiers, four digital converters, digital crossovers and advanced sound-shaping DSP computers Remote controlled and requiring no unsightly speaker cables Advanced, curved cabinet featuring new lamination and damping techniques Class A rated by Stereophile Listener control over features including bass, treble tilt, listening axis, volume, time-compensated balance and absolute phase Maximum output level 118dB spl Like the head unit, the bass cabinet is constructed from interlaminated panels with extensive bracing. The front panel is 6mm glass and incorporates a window for the matrix display and infrared remote control sensor. The cabinet stands on triangulated adjustable machined foot assemblies with provision for floor spikes or skids. DSP7000C A smaller deritive of the top rated flagship, the DSP8000. Aspects like the unique cabinet construction allow the DSP7000 to handle the demanding dynamic resolution required by today's formats.  DSP loudspeaker drivers Each DSP7000 loudspeaker uses two multiple high-efficiency long-throw custom bass drive units. The treble and mid-range drivers are mounted in a separate acoustic enclosure. The treble unit is a semi-horn-loaded composite dome design with a silver voice coil. The mid-range unit uses a custom 160mm polypropylene driver. Power amplifiers The speakers are driven by four independent high-power low-feedback power amplifiers.The combination of optimised magnetic design, careful star earthing, and very fast output devices gives the amplifiers extremely low noise, high detail, and fast bass. The whole electronic assembly is powered by a substantial toroidal transformer feeding high-quality audiophile-grade capacitors.
