Audison Prima – High Output in Compact Spaces
The Audison Prima series was created with one main goal: delivering maximum sound performance while fitting into modern vehicles with limited installation space.
The APS 8 R provides:
- Powerful low-frequency output
- Deep and controlled bass
- High efficiency
- Compact installation dimensions
- Excellent integration with OEM systems
Compact Design, Powerful Bass
Traditional shallow subwoofers often sacrifice cone movement due to limited installation depth. Audison solved this challenge with an optimized cone-dustcap-basket geometry, allowing large cone excursion while maintaining a compact structure.
Benefits include:
- Increased bass output
- Higher efficiency
- Reduced installation depth
- Improved sound quality
Optimized Excursion and Control
Bass performance depends heavily on cone movement. The APS 8 R features a carefully engineered suspension system designed to maximize excursion while preventing unwanted cone movement.
Advanced suspension design provides:
- Controlled cone movement
- Reduced distortion
- Better linearity
- Powerful bass reproduction
Efficient Cooling System
The APS 8 R uses an innovative cooling system with airflow vents positioned on the basket underneath the spider.
Advantages:
- Improved voice coil cooling
- Higher power reliability
- Reduced thermal stress
- Allows installation close to the enclosure rear wall
Designed for Reflex Enclosures
The APS 8 R is optimized for an 8.5-liter reflex enclosure with tuning between 30–40 Hz, providing excellent low-frequency extension from a compact enclosure.
Recommended enclosure:
- Type: Reflex / Ported
- Volume: 8.5 L
- Tuning frequency: 30–40 Hz
Perfect Match for Audison Prima Systems
The APS 8 R is designed to integrate perfectly with Audison Prima amplifiers and processors, including:
- Audison AP8.9 bit
- Audison AP4.9 bit
- Audison AP4 D
It is an excellent solution for building a powerful but discreet OEM-style audio upgrade.
