BIG BASS IN A SMALL PACKAGE
Despite its modest size, the RS 8 offers serious low-end impact. Its 8″/20 cm high-power woofer, Klippel®-optimized motor system, and Class-D amplifier produce controlled bass down to 25 Hz, making it ideal for bookshelf speaker systems or compact AV setups. The coated paper cone and vented voice coil are built to handle demanding playback with clarity and control.
UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY & SIMPLE SETUP
The RS 8 includes both low-level (RCA) and high-level (speaker terminal) inputs, supporting new receivers and older amps without subwoofer outputs. Adjustable crossover and phase settings ensure smooth blending with your existing speakers. And with an auto on/off feature and low power standby mode, it’s efficient, practical, and ready to perform whenever you are.
PERFECT FOR SMALL TO MID-SIZED SPACES
Whether used in a 2.1 stereo setup or a 5.1 home cinema system, the Alpha RS 8 adds depth, punch, and atmosphere without overwhelming your space. It’s a fantastic solution for bedrooms, offices, or apartments—where high-quality bass matters, but space is limited. The elegant black ash or mocha finish ensures it looks as good as it sounds.
KEY FEATURES
OUR TECHNOLOGIES
ENGINEERED FOR POWERFUL BASS
The Alpha subwoofer delivers deep and precise bass thanks to a carefully engineered combination of components. Its advanced magnet system keeps the woofer movement stable and accurate, reducing distortion even at high volumes. A ventilated voice coil helps prevent overheating, ensuring reliable performance during long listening sessions. The rigid, coated paper cone is designed to move smoothly and respond quickly to changes in the audio signal, resulting in clean, powerful low-end sound that adds real impact to your music and movies.
FRONT-FIRING SUBWOOFER WITH AIRFLEX PORT TECHNOLOGY
The Alpha RS subwoofers feature a front-firing design coupled with a dual reflex port configuration, engineered for maximum acoustic efficiency. The twin Airflex ports are precisely tuned to minimize air turbulence and port noise, even at high output levels, ensuring clean and distortion-free bass performance. This front-facing layout enhances low-frequency dispersion and makes room placement more flexible, delivering consistent, punchy bass response across a wide listening area.
EFFICIENT CLASS-D AMPLIFICATION WITH FLEXIBLE TUNING OPTIONS
The Magnat RS 8 features a powerful and efficient Class D amplifier, delivering precise, dynamic bass with minimal heat generation. Designed for seamless integration into any AV setup, it includes active frequency response equalization (LPC circuit) up to 150 Hz, ensuring smooth transitions between subwoofer and main speakers. The amplifier offers flexible tuning options with adjustable volume, crossover frequency, and a phase switchable from 0° to 180°. Connectivity is equally versatile, with stereo high-level inputs via screw terminals. For added convenience and energy efficiency, the RS 12 includes an automatic standby function with ultra-low power consumption under 0.5 watts, and supports universal mains voltage from 110V to 240V at 50/60 Hz.
ROBUST LOW-RESONANCE CABINET WITH ACOUSTIC DECOUPLING
The Magnat RS 8 features a robust, low-resonance MDF cabinet designed for both performance and versatility.
Large feet with resonance-absorbing rubber inserts ensure optimal decoupling from the floor, reducing vibration and enhancing clarity. A removable front grille offers flexibility in appearance and protection, making the RS 12 a seamless addition to any home theater or hi-fi environment.
