Sunfire®, a specialist in the design, manufacturing and marketing of luxury home
theater audio products, today announced the introduction of the all-new Sunfire
HRSIW8, an in-wall dual-driver 8” subwoofer that features the brand’s patented
Stillbass™ anti-shake technology that virtually eliminates mechanical vibration,
improving bass definition while helping to contain the bass to the room in
which it is mounted. The Stillbass
technology, coupled with Sunfire’s trademark High Back-emf designed woofers, helps
provide pounding audiophile-grade bass from a subwoofer that easily retrofits into
a standard 16” on-center stud bay.
According
to Sunfire General Manager Mark Weisenberg, “Every day, the engineers and
designers at Sunfire are developing new ways to deliver what home owners want
from their home entertainment experience; dynamic, accurate bass without
donating large amounts of space in the process. We have accomplished that with
the HRSIW8. Combining our legacy technologies with our latest thinking in subwoofer
power and control, the HRSIW8 is simple to install. Setup is straightforward using Sunfire’s
Digital amplifier platform, which includes a wide array of optional adjustments
for maximum performance. Now our dealers will be able to specify a budget
conscious, high performance in-wall subwoofer that delivers on our brand
promise.”
The
HRSIW8 features two custom-designed 8” long-throw woofers using ultra low mass fiberglass
cones in a sealed cabinet that measures 12.2”W x 24.7”H x 3.75”D, and only requires
a wall cutout of 10.6”W x 23.5”H. With
six built-in dog-toggle style wall clamps it is a perfect solution for both
retrofits and new construction jobs, easily fitting in any standard 16”
on-center stud bay. A wire channel is provided on the rear of the enclosure to
avoid pinching the wire between the enclosure and the back of the drywall
inside the opening. Easily removable magnetic grilles and a cutout template for
easy installation are provided.
The
HRSIW8’s external rack-mount amplifier is an evolution of the Sunfire digital
amplifier used in the company’s SDS subwoofer line. Using Sunfire’s Frequency Filtration Design (FFD) for high fidelity bass, the amp
delivers 520W of power with near zero distortion. A wide range of filtering
adjustments are included as well as DSP with room equalization and a remote
control that provides one-touch access to preset equalizer modes.
The
HRSIW8 has an MSRP of $1,700 and features a frequency response of 33Hz-150Hz,
maximum output of 106dB, balanced and unbalanced line level inputs, gold plated
speaker terminals and adjustable high-pass and low pass filters.
The continuing “Science
of Sunfire” is the direct result of a design philosophy originally pioneered by
Bob Carver that has become codified by the brand. This unique approach to
design has resulted in amazingly compact high performance subwoofers that
combine the best electronics and acoustics with specialized, premium materials
to exemplify the mantra of “small form, high fidelity with high output and reliability”.
