Know before you buy
Unlike typical subwoofers that roll off at 100–150 Hz, the BW-2 features a high-bandwidth design that extends up to 800 Hz. This allows it to handle lower-midrange frequencies, providing better integration with your main speakers and more accurate musical reproduction.
Yes, the BW-2 is designed for flexible placement. You can position it either vertically or horizontally, allowing you to tuck it into tight spaces or under furniture without compromising its performance.
The subwoofer offers two modes: a line-in mode for standard subwoofer use with a frequency response up to 200 Hz, and a bypass mode that allows the signal to reach up to 800 Hz. The bypass mode is ideal when you want to use the subwoofer as a dedicated woofer in a high-end audio setup.
With a 400-watt Class-D amplifier and a maximum SPL of 106 dB, the BW-2 provides plenty of power for most medium-to-large listening rooms. Its 10-inch long-throw driver is engineered to deliver tight, precise bass rather than just raw volume.
No, the BW-2 is an active subwoofer, meaning it has a built-in 400-watt Class-D amplifier. You only need to connect it to your pre-amplifier or receiver via the RCA input.
