Bowers & Wilkins ASW610XP 10-Inch Active Subwoofer - (Each)

Overview

Bass is the part of a system that most rooms struggle to deliver, and a subwoofer built for larger spaces can fill that gap.

The Bowers & Wilkins ASW610XP is a 10-inch active closed-box subwoofer and the most powerful in the ASW Series. It pairs a 250mm long-throw cone made from paper pulp, Aramid fibre and resin with a 500W Class D amplifier that Bowers & Wilkins says is designed for punch and cool operation.

It reaches -6dB at 18Hz, with three bass extension settings and a variable 4th-order low-pass filter. Line-in, speaker-in and 12V trigger connections make it suitable for both hi-fi and home theatre systems.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

A subwoofer's performance depends heavily on where it sits in the room, and the right position often takes a little experimentation. At 18.65kg and 325mm square, the ASW610XP is manageable to move around while you find it, and we can help you with placement and settings.

Why the Bowers & Wilkins ASW610XP Stands Out

Purpose-Built 10-Inch Driver

Bowers & Wilkins says the cone combines paper pulp, Aramid fibre and resin for stiffness and accuracy.

500W Class D Amplifier

A compact cabinet holds a 500W Class D amplifier designed for punch and cool operation.

Adjustable Bass Extension

Three bass extension positions give -6dB points at 18Hz, 23Hz or 28Hz to suit the room.

Flexible Connections

Line in (RCA), speaker in (binding post) and a 12V trigger (3.5mm jack) cover most system setups.

Practical Controls

Input level, low-pass filter frequency, low-pass bypass, bass roll-off alignment, auto sense on/standby and a phase switch.

Made for Larger Rooms

Bowers & Wilkins positions it as the finishing touch to a hi-fi or home theatre system for larger rooms.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

  • The Larger-Room Listener: has a space that needs more bass than a smaller subwoofer would deliver.
  • The Hi-Fi and Home Theatre Owner: wants one subwoofer that works with line-level, speaker-level and trigger connections.
  • The Bass-Tuning Enthusiast: wants adjustable bass extension and a variable low-pass filter.

How It Compares

Bowers & Wilkins describes the ASW610XP as the most powerful of the ASW Series subwoofers, aimed at hi-fi and home theatre systems in larger rooms. It is an active, sealed-cabinet design rather than a ported one.
