Overview
Bowers & Wilkins DB4S – 10-Inch 1000W Powered Subwoofer
The Bowers & Wilkins DB4S is a high-performance 10-inch powered subwoofer designed to deliver deep, accurate bass for premium stereo systems and home theaters. Combining a 1000-watt Class D Hypex amplifier, Aerofoil cone technology, and advanced digital signal processing, the DB4S delivers exceptional low-frequency authority from a compact, elegantly finished enclosure.
Engineered as a natural companion to the Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series loudspeakers, the DB4S incorporates a rigid, variable-thickness Aerofoil bass driver derived from technology developed for the 800 Series Diamond. Its sealed-box construction, Dynamic EQ, and app-based calibration provide controlled bass reproduction for both music and cinematic soundtracks.

Precision Bass for Music and Home Theater
The DB4S brings substantial low-frequency capability to high-end listening rooms without the footprint of a larger subwoofer. Its Aerofoil driver combines stiffness and low mass to reproduce bass transients with accuracy, while the sealed cabinet helps maintain definition during demanding musical passages.
For home theater applications, its 1000-watt amplifier provides the dynamic headroom required for powerful cinematic effects. Dynamic EQ and app-based calibration allow the DB4S to be tailored to the room and integrated with floorstanding, bookshelf, or surround sound speaker systems.
