ALPHA SERIES > ACTIVE SUBWOOFER
POWERFUL BASS IN A COMPACT FORM
The Magnat Alpha RS 8 is a space-saving, active subwoofer that brings rich, powerful bass to small to medium-sized rooms. With its 8″ / 20 cm long-throw woofer, 160 watts peak power and two front-mounted Airflex ports, it delivers powerful, low-distortion bass performance for movies, music and games. Thanks to its versatile application options and easy integration, it is the ideal addition to compact hi-fi or home cinema systems.
Despite its compact dimensions, the RS 8 delivers impressive bass performance. Its powerful 20 cm woofer, Klippel®-optimized drive system and Class D amplifier ensure controlled bass down to 25 Hz – ideal for bookshelf speaker systems or compact AV setups. The coated paper cone and ventilated voice coil are designed for demanding reproduction and guarantee clarity and control even at high levels.
The RS 8 features both low-level inputs (RCA) and high-level inputs (speaker terminals), making it compatible with both modern receivers and older amplifiers without a subwoofer output. An adjustable crossover and phase adjustment ensure seamless tuning with existing speakers. Thanks to its auto-on/off function and energy-saving standby mode, the subwoofer operates efficiently, practically and is always ready when you are.
Whether in a 2.1 stereo setup or as part of a 5.1 home cinema system – the Alpha RS 8 gives the sound more depth, punch and atmosphere without dominating the room. This makes it the ideal solution for bedrooms, offices or apartments where high-quality bass is required, but space is limited. The elegant black ash or mocha finish also ensures that the subwoofer is as visually appealing as it is acoustically.
OUR TECHNOLOGIES
DESIGNED FOR POWERFUL BASS
The Alpha Subwoofer delivers deep and precise bass thanks to a carefully tuned combination of high-quality components. Its advanced magnetic system ensures stable and controlled movement of the woofer and reduces distortion even at high volumes. A ventilated voice coil prevents overheating and ensures reliable performance even during long listening sessions.
The stiff, coated paper cone is designed for smooth movement and fast response to signal changes. The result is a clean, powerful low end that adds noticeable punch and true dynamics to music and movies.
FRONT-FIRING SUBWOOFER WITH AIRFLEX PORT TECHNOLOGY
The Alpha RS subwoofers feature a front-firing design combined with a dual bass reflex port construction designed for maximum acoustic efficiency. The two Airflex ports are precisely tuned to minimize air turbulence and flow noise even at high levels – for clean, distortion-free bass reproduction.
The front-firing design improves bass distribution in the room and allows for particularly flexible placement. This way, the Alpha RS subwoofers deliver consistent, powerful bass over a large listening area.
EFFICIENT CLASS-D AMPLIFICATION WITH FLEXIBLE TUNING OPTIONS
The Magnat RS 8 is equipped with a powerful and efficient Class D amplifier that delivers precise, dynamic bass with minimal heat generation. For seamless integration into any AV setup, it features active frequency response equalization (LPC circuit) up to 150 Hz, which ensures harmonious transitions between the subwoofer and main speakers.
The amplifier offers versatile adjustment options with adjustable volume, adjustable crossover frequency and a switchable phase from 0° to 180°. The RS 8 also shows flexibility in terms of connectivity: Stereo high-level inputs via screw terminals allow connection to a wide variety of systems.
For additional comfort and high energy efficiency, the subwoofer has an automatic standby function with extremely low power consumption of less than 0.5 watts. It also supports universal mains voltage of 110–240 V at 50/60 Hz.
ROBUST, LOW-RESONANCE CABINET WITH ACOUSTIC DECOUPLING
The Magnat RS 8 features a sturdy, low-resonance MDF cabinet designed for optimal performance and high versatility.
Generously sized feet with resonance-absorbing rubber inserts ensure effective decoupling from the floor, reduce vibrations and improve sound clarity. A removable front cover offers additional flexibility in appearance and protection, making the RS 8 a harmonious addition to any home cinema or hi-fi setup.
