MartinLogan ABYSS8GB Abyss 8 Triple 8" High-Resolution Hybrid Subwoofer

Martin Logan ABYSS8GB

Quick Specs

  • Type: Speakers
 

Abyss™ 8 is one of the smallest, most compact subwoofers that MartinLogan has ever built, but don't let its small footprint fool you, it is capable of bass completely unexpected from its ultra-compact size. The key to its deceptively strong, yet detailed sound is its Hybrid Woofer System which utilizes a pair of 8 passive radiators to bolster its active 8 woofer. This woofer system is driven by powerful amplification, and a precision DSP engine, all contained inside a beautiful, yet robust, 1 thick cabinet. To complement the impressive power and musicality of Abyss 8, MartinLogan engineers included an array of connectivity options ranging from XLR to the built-in wireless option. Abyss 8 also features MartinLogan's powerful and intuitive control app for convenient setup and adjustment, as well as being compatible with the award-winning Anthem Room Correction (ARC®) system.

Abyss 8 is no ordinary 8 subwoofer. Featuring a unique 8 Hybrid Woofer System, Abyss 8 combines an active 8 aluminum woofer with two 8 aluminum passive radiators. This innovative design offers the enhanced output of a ported subwoofer while maintaining the compact size and tight bass associated with sealed subwoofers. Enjoy the best of both worlds without compromises like larger cabinets or port noise. Abyss 8's custom-designed aluminum woofers are engineered for peak performance using advanced Klippel analysis. The light weight, high strength, and excellent heat dissipation properties of aluminum make it ideal for delivering clean, powerful bass in such an ultra-compact design.
