The 8c is more than just a loudspeaker. It is a unique acoustic concept, because its revolutionary design provides constant directivity from 100 Hz upwards. As a result, the 8c is above and beyond any other system in terms of neutrality
Solid Wood
The 8c’s outer cabinet is crafted from 20 mm thick solid oak panels. Every oak panel is unique and therefore each 8c has its own unique appearance. During the manufacturing process, we match cabinet pairs, to ensure 8c’s of a pair have a similar look. However, no two 8c’s look exactly the same. We like our customers to be aware of this before buying.
Internally, the 8c is made out of birch plywood. It is used to create the separate compartments for the drivers and to brace the cabinet, in order to increase the stiffness and strength of the cabinet. This results in an acoustically inert cabinet, which ensures that all you hear is the sound of the loudspeaker drivers.
Solid wood is a living material that continuously changes over time. Under the influence of changes in temperature and humidity, the wood will expand and contract. Hairline cracks are normal with solid wood, and thus to be expected. However, the 8c’s cabinet construction is carefully studied and fine-tuned, in order to avoid breakage as the wood ages.
Full Control
8c’s are automatically discovered on your LAN by Ascend, the 8c's companion app. Ascend will give you full control of settings like gain, distance to front and side walls, updates and many parametric filters. Internet connectivity is not required.
The control interface is also available as a website that is hosted on the 8c's themselves. This means that the 8c's can be controlled on any network, from any computer/OS with a somewhat modern browser.
Multi-room Streaming
Besides balanced analogue or AES3 input, you are able to stream digital music directly to your 8c’s. Set up left and right positions using your mobile device and the rest is done automatically.
Within your LAN, 8c’s can be grouped into multiple zones. Perfectly synchronized music can then be played effortlessly in those zones.
Firmware Updates
Firmware updates are pushed out by Dutch & Dutch up to four times per year. Each update adds new features to your 8c's overnight and keep your 8c’s up-to-date with industry standards and trends.
By default 8c's do not install new updates. Instead they give you the power to manually control the firmware version your 8c's are running. Should you choose to update to a new firmware version, the 8c will automatically download and install any version you select.
