Passive In-Wall Subwoofer • Dual 8-Inch High-Excursion Drivers • Integrated Fire-Rated Backbox • Paintable Magnetic Grille • External Amplifier Required
The Paradigm DCS-208FR3 In-Wall Subwoofer delivers powerful low-frequency performance without occupying valuable floor space. Designed for custom residential and commercial installations, its dual 8-inch high-excursion drivers produce deep, controlled bass while the paintable magnetic grille allows the system to blend discreetly into the surrounding wall.
An integrated fire-rated steel backbox provides consistent acoustic performance while helping reduce sound transmission into adjoining spaces. The complete enclosure is designed for straightforward retrofit installation, making the Paradigm DCS-208FR3 In-Wall Subwoofer an excellent solution for home theaters, media rooms, whole-home audio systems, and other applications where powerful bass must remain visually unobtrusive.
Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene Cones — Two 8-inch CFP woofers combine rigidity and low mass for controlled bass response with reduced distortion at higher output levels.
High-Excursion Motor Assemblies — Each driver uses a 1.5-inch, eight-layer copper voice coil, high-temperature polyamide former, and ceramic/ferrite magnet structure for dependable dynamic capability.
Ultra-Rigid Steel Construction — A stamped-steel chassis, steel baffles, and die-cast aluminum mounting clamps improve structural strength and help suppress unwanted resonance.
Integrated Fire-Rated Enclosure — The factory-engineered backbox protects internal components from wall debris, standardizes internal air volume, and simplifies installation without requiring a separate enclosure.
