Monitor Audio SRAD380 Radius 380 8" Active Subwoofer Satin White

The Radius 380's twin side-firing 8" C-CAM drivers - one active and one passive ABR - work in tandem with a powerful 140 W cool-running Class D amplifier (double the power of its predecessor). The drivers have no grilles but are colour-coded to coordinate with cabinet finish. A 12 V trigger syncs the 380 with other AV components when the system is activated.

C-Cam Drivers

Refined over many years by Monitor Audio, Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium is used as a driver cone material for all their speaker designs from the mid-market models up. Originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components, C-CAM's properties are ideal for loudspeaker cones being extremely rigid, yet light enough to yield high overall efficiency. C-CAM bass drivers are able to resist the bending distortion imposed by sudden and extreme bass excursions to reproduce very clean, deep and dynamic bass frequencies. Conventional cone materials are more likely to flex in operation, producing a significant level of audible distortion.

ABR

For open environments sound quality can be further enhanced through the use of a sealed ABR (Auxiliary Bass Radiator). The ABR works like a piston moving back and forth generated by the movement of the air via the motion of the mid/bass driver inside the sealed cabinet. This makes the ABR ultimately act like a conventional port resulting in superior low frequency punch and extra penetration whilst keeping the elements at bay.
