The Bowers and Wilkins ASW610 Subwoofer from B&W presents a very happy medium between the more diminutive ASW608 and the all-out power of the ASW610XP. Its long-throw 250mm driver allows the ASW610 to move the large volumes of air needed for high-quality low-frequency output and its audiophile-standard 200W Class D Amplifier keeps the compact unit running cool, even when the music or movie action is whipping up a storm.
The B&W ASW610 sounds bigger than it looks and more expensive than its price-tag. What Hi-Fi 5 Star review.Powerful bassFeaturing a larger, 10 inch bass cone, the ASW610 offers a deeper, more powerful sound than its smaller ASW608 sibling. Ideal for larger rooms, the ASW610 increases the intensity of both music and movies to deliver more of a thrill.Controlled soundWith its 200 watt amplifier, the ASW610 keeps a tight rein on the bass. The hybrid paper/Aramid cone is also ultra-stiff for exceptional accuracy.
Combined with its powerful magnet, this means the bass remains tight, responsive and doesnt wallow as inferior subs can. Give it the right material, though, and the long throw woofer demonstrates bass power to rattle the windows.Big power from a small cabinetDelivering big power is easier with a larger cabinet to help contain the forces. Bowers & Wilkins have taken a more difficult route with the ASW610. Forceful internal pressure is counteracted by extremely thick cabinet walls and exceptional rigidity. Its not a cheap solution but it means the ASW610 retains its high power output while remaining compact enough for most living rooms.Fully adjustableFor sound thats perfectly tailored to your room, the ASW610 offers a wide range of adjustments. As well as the usual volume and low-pass frequency adjustments, three-stage bass extension and EQ switches give you the perfect amount of bass for your room size, subwoofer position and personal taste.
If the subwoofer is positioned behind you, simply select the phase switch for smoothly integrated bass.Feel the difference a powerful sub makes to your music and movies, with the Bowers & Wilkins ASW610.Key FeaturesDrive unit: 250mm (10 in) paper/Kevlar cone long-throwFrequency range: -6dB at 20Hz and 25/140Hz adjustable (EQ at A)Frequency response: +/-3dB 27Hz – 40/140Hz adjustable (EQ at A)Bass Extension: -6dB at 20Hz (position A), -6dB at 25Hz (position B), -6dB at 30Hz (position C)Power output: 200W
