Description

Unmatched, Unyielding Bass Power
Experience peak performance with the all-new Defiance X10, X12, and X15 subwoofers. These powerhouses deliver immense output, thanks to their reinforced, heavy-duty enclosures and innovative Active Ridge Technology (ART™), allowing maximum driver movement. Expect earth-shattering SPL levels, coupled with precision control, rich detail, and minimal distortion. Designed and crafted in Canada, the Defiance X series surpasses every competitor in its class.

Pure Performance. No Gimmicks.
For those seeking powerful bass without unnecessary frills, the Defiance V8, V10, and V12 subwoofers offer incredible value. Despite their compact design, they are packed with advanced technology, delivering deep, impactful low frequencies. Pound for pound, the Defiance V series provides the best bass experience at an unbeatable price.

Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™)
A driver that moves more freely produces deeper bass. The patented ART driver design enhances the surround material, enabling greater excursion while preventing distortion or damage. This results in a measurable 3dB boost in output with 50% less audible distortion compared to conventional driver designs.

US patents: D654,4795 and 8,340,340B2.
Available exclusively on Defiance X10, X12, and X15.

Subwoofer Control App
Easily set up and fine-tune your subwoofer using the free Subwoofer Control App, available for both iOS and Android. Adjust volume, low-pass filter, phase, deep bass, and more—all from your seat. The app includes three preset listening modes and offers quick access to the Anthem Room Correction (ARC®) app for seamless calibration.

Anthem Room Correction (ARC®)
Using a mobile device or an optional calibrated microphone (included with Defiance X models and available separately for Defiance V models*), ARC® analyzes your room’s acoustics and applies sophisticated DSP algorithms to correct any performance-hindering anomalies. The result? Deep bass that blends naturally with your space for an exceptionally accurate listening experience.

Not available on Defiance V8.

Backed by Sound Science
Through collaboration with world-renowned acoustic research institutions, these subwoofers are engineered using cutting-edge findings on sound and human perception. The result is an audio experience that is both scientifically refined and deeply immersive.
