Dedicated Focal In-Wall Subwoofer Amplification

Engineered specifically for the Focal 100 IWSUB8, the amplifier can drive one or two compatible passive subwoofers connected in parallel, with a minimum supported impedance of 4 ohms.

This configuration allows installers to distribute bass throughout a room while preserving a clean architectural appearance.

Adjustable Bass Management

The amplifier provides adjustable controls for integrating the subwoofer with the main loudspeakers. Its 20Hz to 250Hz operating bandwidth and 18dB/octave subsonic filter support controlled low-frequency reproduction.

Dedicated LFE and stereo RCA line inputs accommodate AV receivers, surround processors and compatible stereo systems.

Rack-Mount Integration and Protection

The 1U chassis supports standard 19-inch equipment racks using mounting brackets. On, Auto and Off power modes simplify everyday operation, while integrated protection circuitry safeguards against overheating, short circuits, excessive current and overload conditions.
