Bowers & Wilkins ASW610XP – 10-Inch 500W Powered Subwoofer

The Bowers & Wilkins ASW610XP is a high-performance 10-inch powered subwoofer engineered to deliver deep, powerful, and controlled bass for premium stereo systems and home theaters. Featuring a long-throw Paper/Aramid Fibre cone driver, a 500-watt ICEpower Class D amplifier, and a rigid sealed-box enclosure, the ASW610XP combines substantial low-frequency output with the precision required for critical music listening.

As the most powerful model in the Bowers & Wilkins ASW Series, the ASW610XP is designed for larger listening spaces and demanding soundtracks. Adjustable bass extension, crossover settings, and phase controls allow precise integration with bookshelf speakers, floorstanding loudspeakers, and multichannel home theater systems.

  • 500-Watt ICEpower Amplifier: High-efficiency Class D amplification delivers substantial dynamic headroom and precise woofer control.

  • Sealed-Box Construction: A closed cabinet supports tight transient response, articulate bass, and consistent low-frequency performance.

  • Adjustable Bass Extension: Three selectable settings allow the subwoofer's low-frequency behavior to be tailored to the room and system.

  • Variable Low-Pass Crossover: Fourth-order adjustable filtering provides flexible integration with different loudspeakers.

  • Line-Level and Speaker-Level Inputs: RCA and binding-post connections support a wide range of stereo amplifiers and AV receivers.

Powerful, Controlled Bass for Music and Movies

The ASW610XP delivers the low-frequency authority required for orchestral recordings, electronic music, and dynamic movie soundtracks. Its Paper/Aramid Fibre cone provides the stiffness needed for controlled bass reproduction, while the 500-watt amplifier supplies the power required for demanding passages.

Unlike subwoofers that rely on a ported enclosure, the ASW610XP uses a sealed cabinet to support accurate transient response and clean integration with high-performance loudspeakers. Adjustable bass extension and crossover controls provide the flexibility to optimize performance for room acoustics, speaker placement, and listening preferences.
