The Wharfedale NOVA 8 is a compact, versatile 8-inch active subwoofer designed for smaller rooms, compact stereo systems and discreet home cinema setups. Pairing a 200mm long-throw driver with a 250mm down-firing Auxiliary Bass Radiator, Class-D power and DSP management, it delivers controlled, articulate bass down to 28Hz from a remarkably small cabinet.

Key Features

  • 200mm (8") long-throw active driver
  • 250mm (10") down-firing Auxiliary Bass Radiator: no port noise
  • Bass extension to 28Hz (-6dB)
  • 200W nominal / 500W peak Class-D amplifier
  • Advanced DSP with Dynamic EQ
  • Music and Movie modes
  • Aluminium shorting rings for lower distortion
  • Line-level, LFE and speaker-level inputs

Deeper Bass Without a Port

A down-firing, mass-loaded Auxiliary Bass Radiator with dual-suspension design extends low-frequency output without a conventional reflex port. That means deeper bass from a compact enclosure, with none of the turbulence, chuffing, port compression or unwanted resonance a port can introduce.

Balanced Bass at All Volumes

Advanced DSP optimises bass output in real time. Dynamic EQ adjusts the response relative to input level, so low-frequency extension stays balanced whether you're listening quietly late at night or turning it up for a film.

From Music to Cinema

Two DSP-controlled modes tailor the NOVA 8 to what you're playing. Music mode prioritises speed, definition and seamless integration with your main speakers, while Movie mode adds extra weight, scale and impact for film soundtracks.

Lower Distortion, Faster Bass

Aluminium shorting rings in the motor system reduce inductance modulation as the voice coil moves, improving transient response and linearity while lowering distortion.

Power with Precision

A high-current Class-D amplifier rated at 200W nominal and 500W peak, with up to 80V peak voltage, gives the NOVA 8 the headroom and control to handle dynamic music and explosive movie effects with ease.

Flexible Integration

Adjustable crossover, phase and level controls let you match the NOVA 8 to your speakers, listening position and room. Stereo line-level inputs with LFE support, plus speaker-level connections, make it equally at home with an AV receiver or a traditional stereo amplifier. A 12V trigger and USB update port are also included.
