Bowers and Wilkins ASW-12-CM Brochure

ASW 12CM

The ASW 12 CM adds yet another dimension to bass performance

in a quality home theater system. It is very similar in design to the

ASW10, but features a 12-inch Kevlar® / paper cone with a long-

throw driver in a larger enclosure with a higher power amplier, to

obtain deeper bass and higher output capability. The voice coil

utilizes a large 3-inch assembly to easily accommodate the high

internal temperatures associated with powerful explosions during

action scenes, while the dual suspension maintains cone alignment

and lowers distortion. The driver chassis is a rigid diecast metal to

prevent exing under stress and further lower distortion.

The ASW 12 CM amplier delivers plenty of power with its

innovative 500-watt Class D design and can easily ll very large

rooms with earthshaking bass, yet offers all the control necessary

for tuneful music playback. The internal crossover incorporates

a three-position switch to tune the subwoofer for the best

performance in any room. “A” position provides 18 Hz, while “B”

delivers 23 Hz, and “C” gives 28 Hz, all at -6dB. The crossover

points can be adjusted from 40 Hz – 140 Hz.
