ASW 500

™

Active Subwoofer

Product Summary

●

Integration within a system is made easy with the provision of line or speaker level
connections. Like other ASW subwoofers the ASW 500 is an active vented-box design
using a 10-inch long-throw driver. Quality low bass is assured by Flowport™ technology.

●

The ASW 500 can improve the power handling and sound of any system by reducing the
demands on the existing amplification. It is an ideal choice for smaller rooms but where
quality cannot be compromised and its versatility allows it to be used both in a Hi-Fi or AV
set-up.

Technical highlights

Flowport™: Golf ball aerodynamics theory points the way towards lower
distortion reflex ports. Dimples improve the way the air flows over the surface of

any object. In the case of reflex ports, they offer a significant improvement over
simply flaring the port ends in reducing air flow turbulence at each end of the
port; so you get less chuffing noise and less compression at high sound levels.
