Because of this approach, you need to provide a fairly powerful and stable amplification in pair with ProAc Response DT8, although the manufacturer states requirements from 20 to 180 watts, it is better to focus on the upper limit of this range. The frequency range is extremely wide for a cabinet of such a volume - 28Hz-30kHz.

ProAc Response DT8 incorporates these design parameters for the first time in a ProAc two-way design and uses 2 x 6.5-inch drivers as Bass/Midrange. One driver with Pagina Mica cone and open weave dust cap and one driver with Polypropylene cone with soft polypropylene dust cap work in tandem and are complemented by the proprietary ProAc 1” silk dome tweeter with an extended bandwidth of up to 30,000 Hz. This solution allows you to “hit several targets with one shot” - the pulp mica diffuser is responsible for clear and precise bass, and the polypropylene unit guarantees transparent and rich midrange frequencies. Since both drivers work in tandem, the depth of bass notes extends to 28 Hz, which is an extraordinary figure for a circuit with a pair of 6.5-inch drivers. The tweeter is mounted in an offset position between the two bass drivers.

The ProAc Response DT8 crossovers are based on a Stewart Tyler design and are divided into two types for bass/mid drivers. The glass fibre board crossovers use multistrand copper wire and allow the connection of speakers with both Bi-amping and Bi-wiring schemes.
