If you've ever set up a home theater or surround sound system with one or more subwoofers, you've probably noticed that placement in the room can make a big difference to the overall sound. Wouldn't it be nice if you don't have to worry about long ugly connection cables between your receiver and subwoofer(s)? Definitive Technology has got you covered. They just announced plans to add two more wireless-ready subwoofers into their line. The SC4000 and SC6000 will both make a big debut at next month's CEDIA Expo in Indianapolis, Ind.
As part of the company's SuperCube series, each of these new models boasts a bass output comparable to subwoofers twice their size. Definitive says that the SC4000 (MSRP: $799) occupies just under one cubic foot of volume, while the SC6000 (MSRP: $999) can squeeze into a space just over that amount. That means that either one should work in smaller spot, as well as installs where you want to hide the sub inside a cabinet.
And the wireless option will make it possible to hide one just about anywhere without those unsightly cables. Each model offers that as an option, via the add-on Definitive SCW 100 Wireless Kit (MSRP: $149). This package features one transmitter which connects to your receiver or preamp/processor and one receiver, which plugs right into the slot on the sub's amp panel. It also has a 12-volt trigger jack for integrating into a whole-house system, as well as an IR repeater for that aforementioned in-cabinet install.
Both models feature a digital display that's slightly hidden under the grille, as well as a wireless remote control. Besides what's on the outside, Definitive says that the SC4000 and SC6000 boast better drivers, all-new Class HD high-power amplifiers and a 56-bit micro-processor preamp stage with DSP. Another new feature effects the amount of energy each model uses. Definitive says when these subs are idle, each one only draws about a half-watt of current or less.
The new subs are expected to replace the existing SuperCube III, SuperCube II and SuperCube I. You can still score all three of those older models on Amazon. However, the company is planning its farewell when the SC4000 and SC6000 start shipping next month.
