Product Description
HEDD BASS 08 Self-powered Subwoofer 8″ 300W RMS Black
The very compact BASS 08 is HEDD's entry ticket to the world of high-end subwoofers. It perfectly matches the HEDD TYPE 05 MK2 and TYPE 07 MK2 two-way systems as it extends their frequency range to 24 Hz, adding depth and naturalness to the sound. But despite being an excellent and modern subwoofer for all kinds of applications, it has some unique and very practical new features.
Connected to a pair of HEDD MK2 monitors, it is possible to create a completely linear phased satellite subwoofer setup, eliminating the typical smearing that often occurs when using speakers and subwoofers without special room processing. And for all of you who love sound control, we've even added a satellite OFFSET control that helps compensate for sound problems resulting from unusual placement between monitors and subwoofers. Use to add or subtract ± 2m to satellite distance relative to the case.
Additional features include several X-over filters, allowing you to choose between different crossover points (including LFE with home theater capability), an LF mode that allows you to bring the BASS 08 even lower (20Hz!) at the cost of some total SPLs.
AES analog and digital connections are available on this compact and innovative power plant.
HEDD Lineariser®
Bringing the renowned HEDD Lineariser® technology to the world of subwoofers, phase correction can be synchronized between HEDD MK2 monitors and HEDD's BASS subwoofer series to compensate for group delays. The result is fantastic clarity and a complete audio experience between the HEDD background and the satellites.
CoP: Closed or Ported
Like our monitors, HEDD subwoofers use specially designed bass ports that allow for a massive bass response with impressive extension. However, the subwoofers can be converted to a functionally new design with the flick of a switch and the use of the supplied plugs. The new closed mode mode benefits from the extensive research done on our reference monitoring system, the HEDD Tower Mains. By sealing the bass ports, the BASS 08 rises to the next level of accuracy and precision.
Group Delay Compensation
To achieve true system-wide audio integration and phase linearity between the MK2 monitors and the BASS subwoofers, we created a tool that compensates for the longer group delay of the subwoofers. This allows us to literally eliminate typical problems such as smearing and distortion that are often inherent in using traditional subwoofers.
