A 250 mm driver separates the ASW610 from the smaller ASW608.
This sealed subwoofer offers physical controls and two kinds of audio input.
The single Bowers & Wilkins ASW610 contains a long-throw 250 mm paper/aramid cone and a 200 W amplifier. It retains the ASW608's amplifier rating but enlarges both driver and enclosure. It can add bass to a stereo or cinema system using the connection best suited to the existing electronics.
Key features
- Active sealed box with long-throw 250 mm paper/aramid driver
- 200 W amplifier; ±3 dB response begins at 27 Hz with EQ A
- RCA line, speaker-level binding posts and 3.5 mm 12 V trigger
- Variable low-pass, phase, auto standby and three bass-extension settings
- Body 310 × 310 × 347 mm; 322 mm high with feet and 375 mm deep with grilles and controls; 12.5 kg
Line and speaker level
RCA takes line level, binding posts take speaker level and a 12 V trigger can coordinate power. Settings include level, low-pass, bypass, phase, roll-off and auto sensing. The three extension positions correspond to 20, 25 and 30 Hz at -6 dB: these are alternative settings, not three simultaneous responses.
Space and access
The body measures 310 × 310 × 347 mm without feet or grilles. Height reaches 322 mm with feet or 338 mm with spikes; depth with grilles and controls is 375 mm. Allow rear access and a stable platform for 12.5 kg. Bare cabinet depth alone will not tell you whether it fits into a recess.
The ±3 dB response begins at 27 Hz with EQ in position A; the upper limit depends on the filter. ASW608 uses a 200 mm cone in a cabinet 260 mm wide: the 610 provides a bigger driver in return for more space. Compared with DB4S, it retains speaker-level input and controls on the enclosure rather than the DB Series app setup. Both ASW models provide a 12 V trigger, so power coordination is possible without presenting the trigger as another audio input.
