ASW2000 specifications

The Bowers & Wilkins ASW2000 is a subwoofer designed to elevate the home audio experience, delivering powerful and precise bass response that enhances both music and movie soundtracks. As part of Bowers & Wilkins' well-respected line-up of audio products, the ASW2000 is engineered with a blend of advanced technologies and thoughtful design, making it a standout choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

One of the key features of the ASW2000 is its robust construction. The subwoofer is housed in a sealed enclosure, which not only contributes to its aesthetic appeal but also helps to minimize distortion, enabling clean and deep bass output. This design choice ensures that the ASW2000 can deliver low frequencies without compromise, making it ideal for both music genres that rely on deep bass and cinematic experiences that demand impactful sound.

The ASW2000 is equipped with a powerful 200-watt amplifier, providing ample power to drive its 12-inch bass driver effectively. This high-output amplifier allows the subwoofer to reproduce low-end frequencies with remarkable accuracy, ensuring that users experience the full dynamic range of their audio content. Furthermore, the subwoofer features a frequency response that extends down to 20 Hz, allowing it to reproduce the most profound bass notes that are often felt rather than heard.

Another notable characteristic of the ASW2000 is its adjustable phase control and low-pass filter. These features allow users to tailor the subwoofer's performance to their specific listening environment and preferences. Whether it is placed within a corner or away from walls, the ASW2000 can be fine-tuned to integrate seamlessly with existing audio systems, creating an immersive soundstage that engages listeners.

Bowers & Wilkins has also incorporated its proprietary technologies into the ASW2000, ensuring that it meets the high standards expected from the brand. The use of advanced materials in the construction of the driver helps to minimize unwanted resonances, while its innovative design maintains control over the movement of the cone. This results in bass that is not only powerful but also articulate and well-defined.

In summary, the Bowers & Wilkins ASW2000 subwoofer combines solid construction, powerful amplification, and advanced technology to deliver exceptional bass performance. Its capability to blend seamlessly into various audio setups makes it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their listening experience, whether for music or movies.
