Bowers & Wilkins DB2D Subwoofer

Description

The Bowers & Wilkins DB2D is a

high-performance, compact active subwoofer featuring dual 10-inch Aerofoil cones in a balanced, force-cancelling configuration, driven by a 1000-watt Hypex Class-D amplifier. Known for its tight, musical, and deep bass it integrates advanced DSP and app-based room optimization for precise sound in a small, rigid cabinet.

Offers exceptional power and precision, often described as a perfect mix for both music and high-end home theater.

The balanced, opposed woofer design effectively eliminates cabinet vibration, allowing for loud, clear output without unwanted resonances.

The Bowers & Wilkins DB Subwoofers App handles setup, including a room-tuning feature that uses the user’s smartphone microphone to optimize performance, simplifying the process.

The DB2D is highly praised for providing massive, deep bass output from a relatively compact, “room-friendly” footprint.

  • Subterranean low-frequency extension down to 10Hz.
  • Extremely rigid cabinet with nearly zero vibration.
  • Effortless setup via a dedicated iOS/Android app (no external controls).
  • Cool-running, energy-efficient amplification.
