Nakamichi NBS208A active subwoofer

Nakamichi NBS208A active subwoofer

Nakamichi NBS208A is an active box designed for the side of the suitcase, where it does not take up too much space. The amplifier and the settings and connections of the amplifier itself is hidden on the back and is thus protected from damage when transporting everyday items. The box is covered with a black carpet that is mottled to match most types of vehicles. This active subwoofer uses a now rare acoustic design with a passive driver to assist the main 20cm subwoofer connected to the amplifier. This is the same converter, but without the magnetic system and centering washer. At the resonance frequency, the passive driver oscillates synchronously with the main subwoofer and increases the dynamics of this box. A class D amplifier in a compact design with a relatively modest power of 100 W RMS is used to operate the system. In conjunction with a highly sensitive speaker, the output is fairly structured bass with decent acoustic pressure. A complete set of tools is available for fine tuning: 40-160 Hz low pass, 0-180° phase switch, 20 Hz fixed frequency subsonic filter, 40 Hz bass boost and 0-12 dB level control. The package also includes a remote control.

About the Nakamichi brand

The history of the Nakamichi brand dates back to 1948, when it was founded in Japan by Etsuro Nakamichi. The journey to fulfilling his dreams began with the establishment of a small research institute, Nakamichi Research Corporation, in Tokyo, Japan, providing sonar and magnet research and development for major brands, government entities, universities and organizations. Since then, it has established itself as a trusted creator of high-quality products that are the result of intensive scientific work, a passion for sound and a commitment to uncompromising quality and performance. In 1972, Takeshi Nakamichi joined Nakamichi Corporation, who was associated with the company's boom at the time and was deeply involved in all of Nakamichi's legendary audio products sold in Asia, America and Europe, including the first launch of the Nakamichi 1000, the world's first cassette tape recorder. He was regarded as one of the world's best acoustic and sound engineers, who was able to combine high-end sound with the genius audio product design strengths of Mr. Koza Kobayashi, the brand's chief engineer at the time. The amplifiers, players, and car radios of that time are now among the legends for their unsurpassed quality. However, the Nakamichi brand is still successful today and produces high-quality products not only in the field of home sound systems, but also in vehicles. The manufacturer's ingeniously thought-out portfolio is constantly growing, and practically all products stand out with high-quality sound and incredible processing in the given price category. The legacy of Etsuro Nakamichi lives on and we are glad that it is not only a sound name, but also reflected in the quality of Nakamichi products.
