Paradigm DCS-208IW3 Performance In-Wall Subwoofer
DCS-208IW3 Performance In-Wall Subwoofer Instead of a fire-rated backbox, the DCS-208IW3 is meant for use with its new construction backbox, the BX-208, or it can be retrofitted without one. The DCS-208IW3 is designed to be driven by the Paradigm x300 v2 custom-install amplifier, and will play louder and lower than its fire-rated cousin due to the increased backbox volume.
Performance you can hear, with a look that all but disappears.
Paradigm is pleased to introduce the newest addition to their line of cost-effective and high-performance Custom Installation products. The Paradigm DCS-208IW3 is an all-new design, improving and expanding on the innovations you’ve come to expect from us in the world of performance audio. The Paradigm DCS-208IW3, the perfect blend of performance and practicality. With powerful bass and zero-footprint, you get the best of both worlds, allowing you to add bass to any room without taking up valuable floor space.
DCS-208IW3 Features:
- Ultra Rigid Stamped Steel chassis, baffles, and die-cast aluminum clamps add strength and rigidity for better bass performance, along with a more durable installation.
- Magnetically attached grilles: neodymium magnets hold grilles firmly in place.
- Optional Acoustic Backbox for an easy and predictable performance install safeguards internal parts from debris while preventing added sound ‘spillage’ to adjacent rooms. The integrated backer box enclosure also ensures consistent and reliable performance from application to application.
- Nickel-plated, spring loaded binding posts feature a larger wire hole to accept higher-gauge wire or banana plugs.
- Premium-grade components include high-power rated resistors, capacitors and heavy gauge wire inductors.
SPECIFICATIONS
Predictable Acoustics
Their optional easy-to-install acoustic back provides predictable performance in any application.
Easy Retrofittable Installation
Specifically designed retrofittable sizing for simplified installation. Minimal footprint with maximum performance!
Proven Paradigm Performance
Dual, 8” High-Excursion Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene woofers for powerful, accurate bass.
Easy to Drive, Easy to Hide, Hard to Forget
Purpose-built for high output from a compact enclosure, with high efficiency and low distortion.
Easy to Install, Predictable Performance
DCS-208IW3 gives you flexible installation options. Opt to use it in its default open wall cavity configuration and you have an affordable, easily retrofittable subwoofer solution. For those desiring increased control, the optional BX-208 acoustic backbox provides a large enclosure volume to let the DCS-208IW3 stretch its legs while providing acoustic control to reduce sound transmission through the wall. Simple installation, no footprint, Paradigm performance.
Distributed Audio Meets Its Match
The DCS-208IW3 can easily be driven off the bridged output of an Anthem MDX for distributed audio systems, allowing you to take advantage of the MDX’s robust bass management, DSP profiles, and advanced ARC Genesis room correction for optimized performance in any environment.
Proven Paradigm Performance
Purpose-built for high output from a compact enclosure, with highefficiency and low distortion. The dual, 8” High-Excursion CarbonFiber-Reinforced Polypropylene woofers have a larger surface area than a 10” sub for powerful, accurate bass. The optional enclosure ensures consistent performance in any application while reducing sound transmission to other areas of the home.
In-Room or In-Wall, How About Both?
The DCS-208IW3 is the first in-wall model in the highly acclaimed Defiance series. The first Defiance in-wall brings the performance of Defiance subs to more rooms than ever before. With a minimalist look, the Paradigm DCS-208IW3 is the perfect way to bring home proven Paradigm bass performance without compromise. Bass they’ll remember, with a look they’ll forget.
Flexibility is Everything
The DCS-208IW3 is compatible with the Paradigm X-300 subwoofer amplifier. Custom DSP profiles maximize subwoofer performance, while onboard Anthem Room Correction (ARC®) optimizes the response for any environment. Whatever the application, you can be sure the DCS-208IW3 will deliver. Like the DCS-208FR3, just one DCS-208IW3 should be driven off one x300 v2 amplifier. Do not specify two subs for one x300 v2.
