Reclaim Your Living Space: The Ultra-Slim Advantage
Conventional subwoofers often dictate furniture arrangement and consume significant square footage. The Earthquake Sound CP-8 fundamentally changes this dynamic. Standing a mere 7 inches tall (including feet), its ultra-slim form factor is the key that unlocks placement possibilities previously unavailable to high-performance subwoofers.
This minimal height allows the CP-8 to slide effortlessly underneath most sofas, beds, chairs, or cabinets, rendering it virtually invisible. It can also be tucked discreetly behind furniture or placed on its side, perhaps nestled between a couch and the wall, using the included additional feet. This remarkable placement flexibility means users no longer need to sacrifice their preferred room layout or aesthetic sensibilities to enjoy deep bass. Instead of accommodating a bulky box, users can reclaim valuable floor space, maintaining a clean, uncluttered living environment. The CP-8 offers the freedom to integrate powerful low-end audio seamlessly and unobtrusively into almost any room.
Immersive Bass Where It Matters Most: Performance & Experience
The CP-8’s design offers discreet placement and effective near-field bass delivery. It features a premium, long-excursion 8-inch down firing woofer with a durable pressed paper cone and Santoprene surround for low distortion. Powered by a high-efficiency Class AB amplifier, it delivers up to 300 watts of peak power, ensuring impactful bass.
Its down firing bass-reflex enclosure utilizes the floor to boost output efficiency. A sizeable 3-inch port directs low frequencies from under furniture without losing precision. The result is deep, precise bass, enhancing movie soundtracks, music, and game audio. With a frequency response down to 20Hz, it performs remarkably well in smaller spaces and provides a tactile listening experience by positioning it close to the user.
The most compelling aspect of the CP-8’s performance stems directly from its placement flexibility. By positioning the subwoofer close to the listening area – under a couch or near a chair – users experience bass audibly and physically. This tactile dimension, often sought through dedicated tactile transducers, is an inherent benefit of the CP-8’s near-field operation, adding a layer of immersion rarely found in such a compact and concealable unit. While it delivers remarkable output for its size and intended application, it’s important to note that it excels at enhancing personal listening zones rather than serving as the sole subwoofer attempting to pressurize vast home theater spaces. However, its performance is exceptional for targeted bass reinforcement in small-to-moderate-sized rooms.
Engineered for Performance and Convenience
The Earthquake Sound CP-8 subwoofer offers strong performance and has a unique shape that makes it easy to use. It includes adjustable features to help it blend well with your main speakers. You can set the crossover control between 40Hz and 120Hz and use the phase control switch to adjust from 0 to 180°. This helps you get the best sound for your specific speakers and room.
It connects easily to many audio systems. You can use standard RCA low-level inputs to connect it to AV receivers or processors with subwoofer outputs. It also has high-level input terminals that accept speaker wire signals up to 10 volts, allowing it to work with amplifiers or receivers that don’t have low-level outputs. Additionally, it offers high-pass filtered high-level output terminals. This feature removes bass frequencies from the main speakers in some stereo setups when connected through the subwoofer.
The subwoofer is simple to use, thanks to its Auto On/Off signal sensing feature. It turns on automatically when it detects an audio signal and goes into standby mode when it hasn’t been used for a while. The CP-8 is built from quality MDF and has a sleek black laminate finish, making it durable and stylish. It also has reliable driver components, including a pressed paper cone, Santoprene surround, and a 2-inch high-temperature voice coil.
