Bowers and Wilkins ASW-608 Brochure

ASW 608

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 amplier

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, nely-tuned mix of paper pulp,

Kevlar® bres and resin, which provides the stiffness needed to

withstand the tremendous physical forces exerted by the voice

coil and pressures inside the cabinet.
