Integrating truly impactful low frequency sound into modern living spaces often presents a significant challenge. Home theater enthusiasts, music lovers, and gamers crave the deep, resonant bass that brings entertainment to life, yet many are hesitant to accommodate the large, visually intrusive subwoofer enclosures that typically deliver it. Traditional subwoofers demand valuable floor space and can disrupt carefully planned room aesthetics. Addressing this dilemma head-on, Earthquake Sound presents an ingenious solution: the CP-8 Couch Potato subwoofer.
The CP-8 is a powered 8-inch down-firing subwoofer meticulously engineered for special applications where conventional subwoofers won’t fit or are aesthetically undesirable. It is designed to deliver deep, precise bass without visually dominating the room. Its defining characteristic is a remarkably low-profile design, allowing it to effectively disappear beneath or behind furniture. This unique approach brings the source of the bass much closer to the listener, enhancing the immediacy and impact of the low frequency effects. The CP-8 isn’t just a concept; its innovative approach and performance have earned prestigious industry recognition, including the CES Innovations Award and the Custom Retailer’s EXC!TE Award, validating its effectiveness right from the start. It represents a clever answer for anyone seeking powerful bass without the typical space and visual compromises.
Reclaim Your Living Space: The Ultra-Slim Advantage
Conventional subwoofers often dictate furniture arrangement and consume significant square footage. The Earthquake Sound CP-8 fundamentally changes this dynamic. Standing a mere 7 inches tall (including feet), its ultra-slim form factor is the key that unlocks placement possibilities previously unavailable to high-performance subwoofers.
This minimal height allows the CP-8 to slide effortlessly underneath most sofas, beds, chairs, or cabinets, rendering it virtually invisible. It can also be tucked discreetly behind furniture or placed on its side, perhaps nestled between a couch and the wall, using the included additional feet. This remarkable placement flexibility means users no longer need to sacrifice their preferred room layout or aesthetic sensibilities to enjoy deep bass. Instead of accommodating a bulky box, users can reclaim valuable floor space, maintaining a clean, uncluttered living environment. The CP-8 offers the freedom to integrate powerful low-end audio seamlessly and unobtrusively into almost any room.
Immersive Bass Where It Matters Most: Performance & Experience
The CP-8’s design offers discreet placement and effective near-field bass delivery. It features a premium, long-excursion 8-inch down-firing woofer with a durable pressed paper cone and Santoprene surround for low distortion. Powered by a high-efficiency Class AB amplifier, it delivers up to 300 watts of peak power, ensuring impactful bass.
It's down-firing bass-reflex enclosure utilizes the floor to boost output efficiency. A sizeable 3-inch port directs low frequencies from under furniture without losing precision. The result is deep, precise bass, enhancing movie soundtracks, music, and game audio. With a frequency response down to 20Hz, it performs remarkably well in smaller spaces and provides a tactile listening experience by positioning it close to the user.
