Complement™Subwoofers

The vital foundation for

every audio-video system

Great sound grows from the

bottom up

Whether for big-screen home theater,

serious music listening or casual, family-

room relaxation, you can't have truly great

sound without great bass. And to achieve

great bass you need to deploy the right tool

for the mission: a powerful, deep-reaching

subwoofer that's been carefully engineered

for optimal low-frequency reproduction.

The Complement R8DT, R10DT, and R12DT

were conceived to complement home-theater

and music-listening systems alike, by delivering the

bottommost octaves of musical sound with accuracy,

subtlety and balance for musical enjoyment; and with

heart-thumping bass to accompany a favorite action-

packed motion picture.

Compact is Better

Every home poses the same problem for subwoofer

placement — where should you put it for best response

and do you have enough space? Fortunately, there's a

Russound Complement Series subwoofer for every room

and every situation. However small your

space or demanding your requirement,

the powerful, accurate, compact and

affordable Russound Complement subs

stand ready to provide the critical

underpinnings that all your music and

movie sessions demand. And because

they are designed to consume minimal

space, the Complement subs form the ideal solution

for custom-installations and multiroom layouts,

where all but invisible architectural speakers or mini-

satellites serve to keep the sound system from taking

over the living space.

Bass matters

Producing genuine deep-bass power from such

compact designs calls for a bit of engineering

ingeniousness. The R8DT, R10DT, and R12DT exploit

specially designed, long-throw bass drivers that are

specifically optimized for subwoofer duty. The R10DT

and R12DT are mated to a sophisticated, asymmetrically

braced enclosure whose computer-aided design aims to

extract a maximum of deep-bass extension, impact

and control while greatly reducing cabinet resonance.

Family values

The Complement Subwoofers are just one part of the Russound family of innovative, high-value solutions for

multiroom audio and home-theater systems. Our full line of indoor and outdoor speakers, designed for accurate

sound reproduction; correct tonal balance and reliability offer a size, shape and style for any application.

Russound’s unique CAV6.6 six-zone multiroom controller employs powerfully simple RNET communications

protocol to talk to elegantly ergonomic UNO touchscreen and wall-mounted keypads. Russound makes multiroom

and home theater audio affordable and accessible, right now.

Accomplishing this demands another key element:

power, and lots of it. Each Russound Complement

sub boasts a dynamic, high-power on-board

amplifier, which provides the power needed to

enjoy your home theater or multiroom audio

system to its fullest potential.

It’s Complementary, My Dear

Russound Complement subwoofers are unique

in that they were designed for versatility and to

truly complement any environment. Each

Complement subwoofer incorporates features to

adapt it to a specific use. With a home theater,

you want the bass to reach the highest SPL levels

for feeling it as well as hearing it. With music, all

the subtle tones in the low frequencies make for

realistic sound reproduction.

The adjustable crossover and phase controls and

a Dual Tuned Port enclosure system permit you

to match the subwoofer performance to

your

room’s acoustics, listening style and placement

preference.

For home theater, both ports are left

open for maximum bass impact from special

effects. For a music-listening room, one port can be

tuned with the supplied foam insert, yielding extended,

more accurate response through the very lowest

octave. Either way, be assured you can achieve the

best low-frequency sound possible for the kind of

listening you have planned for that room.

Consequently, the Russound subs are engineered to

blend seamlessly with in-wall and freestanding speakers

alike, yielding a single, fully integrated entity of sound

for any room of your multiroom layout.

When both ports are open, frequency response allows maximum

bass impact for home theater; when tuned with the supplied

insert, frequency response is more accurate for music listening.
