Bowers & Wilkins DB2D Subwoofer Has the Same 10-Inch Aerofoil Cone Drivers Found in the Acclaimed 800 Series Diamond Range: Features App-Based Setup and 1000-Watt Amplifier

The parallels between Bowers & Wilkins' flagship 800 Series Diamond loudspeakers and its DB2D subwoofer are more than skin deep. The 16.9 x 14.8 x 14.2-inch (HWD) sub uses the same 10-inch Aerofoil cone drivers found in the acclaimed Diamond range and touts some of the same leading-edge architecture and materials. The result: Uncompromising performance marked by quickness, depth, efficiency, punch, focus, and solidity. In both music-based and home-theater systems, DB2D functions as a key cog in a chain focused on reproducing sound and effects with thrilling realism and truthful accuracy.

Bowers & Wilkins' light, ultra-stiff Aerofoil cone drivers, which resist bending and flexing while playing with stellar control and outstanding precision, reside at the heart of DB2D. In addition to those 10-inch drive units and a 1000-watt Class D Hypex amplifier, DB2D leverages opposed, balanced configuration of the bass cones, an approach that lessens cabinet vibration, reduces coloration, and increases clarity. Preamplification comes courtesy of Dynamic EQ plus automatic calibration and equalization, ensuring consistency and clean delivery.

Setting up the cool-running DB2D couldn't be easier. Bowers & Wilkins' app-based setup is not only simple to use, it's great fun. The app includes positioning guides, troubleshooting, settings, presets, and more — such as the ability to optimize subwoofer performance by using the microphone on your phone. With such tools at your disposal, and DB2D in your corner, you cannot go wrong.
