BDS 880

The BDS 880’s five amplifiers, rated at 65 watts per channel, power the system’s left, right, center and two surround loudspeakers, all of which feature voice-matched, flat-panel drivers and CMMD® dome tweeters for consistent sound from speaker to speaker. This amplifier-speaker combination dramatically improves the clarity and realism of directional sounds, even at high listening levels.

Unlike conventional, front-firing subwoofers, the BDS 880’s 200-watt, 8-inch (200-millimeter) powered sub fires downward, interacting with the floor for enhanced bass response. Installing the sub is a breeze with the included wireless transmitter that connects to the BDS receiver. Volume, phase and bass-boost controls make it easy to synchronize bass output with the satellites and then fine-tune the system’s performance to match your room acoustics and personal preferences.
