MartinLogan Abyss 8 Subwoofer
Abyss 8 is one of the smallest, most compact subwoofers that MartinLogan has ever built, but dont 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 MartinLogans powerful and intuitive control app for convenient setup and adjustment, as well as being compatible with the award-winning Anthem Room Correction (ARC) system.

Hybrid Woofer System The Ultimate Compact PowerhouseDespite its compact size, the aptly named Abyss 10 plays deep with surprising authority. Featuring a unique 10 Hybrid Woofer System, Abyss 10 combines an active 10 aluminum woofer with two 10 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 10s 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 a compact design. | |
MagnitudeMT-1 AmplifierThe small but mighty Abyss 8s Hybrid Woofer System is capable of handling a large amount of power. MartinLogans advanced Magnitude MT-1kW amplifier delivers up to 1000W peak (500W RMS) of clean power, ensuring incredible impact and seamless musicality. Magnitude amplifiers are designed to deliver their power reserves with ultra-low distortion to ensure maximum fidelity along with high output capability. Guaranteeing exceptional control over its long-throw 8 Hybrid Woofer System, the MT-1kW amplifier helps Abyss 8 provide an immersive audio experience from an ultra-compact subwoofer. | |
