B&W ASW608

What HI FI 5 star award winner as part of the B&W 685 theatre package "Controlled, expansive and scrupulously detailed, it's a pacy listen that can deal with the trickiest rhythms

For big sound in smaller spaces, you can’t beat the ASW608, the most compact of the 600 Series subwoofers.

Its long-throw 200mm driver allows the ASW608 to move the large volumes of air needed for high-quality low-frequency output, and its
audiophile-standard 200W Class D amplifier keeps the unit running cool, even when the music or movie action is whipping up a storm.

In all of the 600 Series subwoofers, the bass driver diaphragms are constructed from a rugged, finely-tuned mix of paper pulp, Kevlar® fibres and resin, which provides the stiffness needed to withstand the tremendous physical forces exerted by the voice coil and pressures inside the cabinet.

Ultra-solid construction delivers slamming bass, drum kicks, and special movie effects. Deformation is minimised; bass precision, power and enjoyment are maximised.
