The DN15’s unique 3XR Architecture provides triple the bass-producing surface area of a traditional 15” ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, resulting in monumental low end. And because 3XR doesn’t use ports, it also provides crystal-clear sound with no port noise distortion.


The DN15’s 3XR Architecture provides triple the bass-producing radiating surface area of a traditional 15” ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, enabling the DN15 to play as loud and low as a two similarly-sized 18” ported subwoofers. And because 3XR doesn’t use ports, DN15 also provides massive, crystal-clear bass with no port noise distortion.

 

As the core technology behind Descend’s 3XR Architecure, its passive bass radiators enable the DN15 to play as loud and low as two 18” ported subwoofers without unwanted port noise distortion. Passive radiators also deliver a smooth frequency response like a sealed sub, but with the port-like ability to play louder and lower in a smaller enclosure.

 

What you get is the best of both worlds: louder, clearer bass than a ported sub from a smaller enclosure than a sealed sub.

 

Powered by Class H digital amplification, and with an advanced 56-bit DSP that includes three custom EQ modes, DN15 plays exceptionally impactful bass down to 20Hz.

 

The DN15’s advanced 1500W peak Class H digital amplifier delivers continuous power to cleanly reproduce sustained bass below 20Hz. With real-time monitoring and adjustments to the sliding rail voltage, the DN15 delivers considerably higher power during short, transient peaks such as bass drum kicks and on-screen artillery blasts.

 

The advanced 56-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP) extends and improves the DN15’s bass response. The DSP tightly monitors and controls the woofer system to prevent distortion and woofer damage at ultra-high volumes with a minimum of audible artifacts.

 

The DN15’s default setting out of the box, Flat Mode provides the most balanced performance, as determined by our acoustic experts, providing the perfect harmony between low end extension and full spectrum maximum output.
