AN ALL-NEW FINISH IS JUST THE START. Vision. It is where all classic
things begin their eventual road to fame. It’s also the difference between
that rare group of products that inspire you-- and those that just fi ll a
niche. In 1994, Bob Carver challenged a group of engineers to take his
vision and permanently raise the possibilities for what many considered
a category of followers not leaders. It was the birth of Sunfi re and the
beginning of a vision that would lead to more than 15 years of unique
and critically acclaimed patents and products. Each has elevated the art
of home entertainment electronics and loudspeakers for tens of thousands
of people around the world.
THE STANDARD BY WHICH ALL ITS CLASSMATES WILL BE JUDGED.
AGAIN.
The latest expression of Sunfi re’s vision is called the Sunfi re
Dynamic Series. True to their name, these three all-new subwoofers
are both vibrant and forceful, delivering Sunfi re’s acclaimed
blend of powerful bass delivered with both high-resolution and
high output. How much bass? Up to 600 Watts of dependable,
cool-running Sunfi re bass wrapped in the smallest cabinet of any product
DYNAMIC SERIES:
IT’S SUNFIRE THAT’S JUST RIGHT FOR THESE TIMES.
Contemporary design, timeless refi nement and sonic performance
that is singularly Sunfi re. The Dynamic Series displays each of these
while offering a few pleasant surprises including a price that only the
latest technologies could make possible. Each SDS model is designed
and built by the same engineers responsible for our premium, high
performance XT and HRS products. And each is purpose-designed
as a fully-featured, future classic manufactured to the requirements
of today’s more streamlined lifestyles and budgets.
Sunfi re’s SDS8 is the perfect choice for systems where both small size and high
output are on the essentials list. It all starts with a Sunfi re digital amplifi er that
delivers a game changing 400W of reliable Peak power. All that power is delivered
to a new front fi ring, 8” custom built Sunfi re driver acoustically matched to an
8” down-fi ring passive radiator. The result: a technical
achievement that produces nearly twice the output
of conventional single-driver designs. Which is why
when BIG bass and a small room are your reality,
there is no better subwoofer than Sunfi re’s new SDS8.
Today’s premium DVDs and CDs can provide audio
quality you used to have to buy a ticket to
experience. Now, Sunfi re’s SDS10 brings that feeling
home with a truly unprecedented performance
package. A digital amplifi er that delivers Peak power
output of 500W is matched to a 10” custom Sunfi re
driver and 10” down-fi ring radiator. And if that’s not

~Bob Carver
The year was 1972. And a graduate student named Bob Carver was about to turn an ordinary classroom assignment into
the beginning of an iconic brand of home audio products. That assignment—to build a machine that would simulate
earthquakes—became the springboard for a four-decade run of innovative ‘fi rsts’ and ‘onlys’ that have continually
raised the benchmark for the entire home audio industry. And while Bob’s history includes the launch of dozens of
now legendary speakers, the real roots of his company lie in the development of high performance amplifi ers.
Those earlier icons have lead to today’s newest heroes—the remarkable, high-performance 401 Amplifi ers.
Each 401 Amplifi ers product represents the latest thinking on the business of power from the company that has
made the subject of power its main business. And, every Sunfi re componentis Sunfi re Optimized
