The subwoofer features a 220 mm low-frequency driver with an aluminum cone and a passive radiator positioned at the bottom of the enclosure. Its rubber suspension ensures an optimal sound pressure level. Users can independently adjust the volume, phase, and crossover frequency, allowing for tailored performance that suits the room’s acoustics. The device also has an automatic on/off function.

The Canton Power Sub 8 subwoofer boasts impressive responsiveness and high dynamics, making it compatible with a wide range of acoustic systems. Notable advantages include its precise attack and accurate reproduction of bass instrument textures. While optimal performance is achieved with a narrowed frequency range and matched phase, this can be challenging to attain. At higher volumes, low frequencies may slightly lose definition, particularly in recordings with very powerful bass. However, cabinet resonances are virtually nonexistent, ensuring that even at maximum levels, no unwanted overtones are produced.
