Tangent, the Danish brand, built the Spectrum II XSW8 active subwoofer, developed as the companion to the rest of the Spectrum II series. It follows the line's simple Danish styling and can be ordered in white or in a satin black finish.
Key specs that matter
An 8 inch cellulose-pulp driver works in a closed cabinet, and the rated range is 25 to 200 Hz. The built-in amplifier delivers 100 W RMS, and the variable low-pass crossover reaches up to 150 Hz.
Engineering and use context
The sealed enclosure is intended for both music and film. Phase can be switched between 0 and 180 degrees, the input is a stereo RCA pair, and auto-sleep and smart-start functions wake the unit when a signal arrives and put it to sleep once the signal ends.
Alternatives
Tangent previously offered the first-generation Spectrum XSW-8 active subwoofer.
