Bowers & Wilkins · ASW Series
The ASW608 is the smallest Bowers & Wilkins subwoofer: an 8-inch long-throw driver and a 200-watt amplifier in a sealed cabinet barely ten inches wide, built for small rooms, desks and systems where space matters.
Price is for one subwoofer.

The story
The ASW608 proves that a subwoofer does not need to be large to be useful. Its 200 mm long-throw driver uses the same paper-pulp, aramid-fiber and resin cone construction as the bigger ASW models, and the closed-box cabinet keeps the bass quick and tuneful. A 200-watt Class D amplifier is more than the little driver strictly needs, which is what gives the ASW608 its headroom.
The control panel is the same as the rest of the ASW Series: line and speaker-level inputs with independent level controls, a variable low-pass filter with bypass, bass extension and roll-off alignment switches, phase, a 12 V trigger and auto-sense standby. In Matte Black or Matte White it hides under a desk or behind a chair, and it is the natural partner for 607 S3 or 606 S3 speakers in a small room.
