Combining twin 300 mm Aerofoil™ cone drivers with a formidable 2,000-watt Class D Hypex amplifier, it provides the low-frequency scale and authority required for premium stereo systems and reference home theatres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts opposed-driver configuration, digital preamplifier, Dynamic EQ and app-based room optimisation work together to produce bass that is not only powerful, but fast, composed and accurately integrated with the rest of your speaker system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwin 300 mm Aerofoil Bass Drivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DB1D uses two substantial \u003cstrong\u003e300 mm Aerofoil cone drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e positioned back-to-back in a balanced configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aerofoil cone’s variable-thickness profile combines low weight with high rigidity, helping each driver move with speed and control. This allows the DB1D to reproduce deep cinematic effects, electronic bass and the lowest musical notes with impressive definition rather than excessive boom or overhang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced Opposed-Driver Configuration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two bass drivers operate in opposition on either side of the enclosure. Their mechanical forces counteract one another, helping reduce unwanted cabinet movement and resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy preventing amplifier power from being wasted through enclosure vibration, the balanced design allows more energy to be directed into clean, controlled low-frequency output. The result is powerful bass from a comparatively compact cabinet that remains stable during demanding playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePowerful 2,000-Watt Class D Amplifier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA built-in \u003cstrong\u003e2,000-watt Class D Hypex amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the control and power reserves required to drive both 12-inch Aerofoil cones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass D amplification offers high efficiency and controlled thermal performance, while the DB1D’s digital architecture manages the drivers and amplifier as one integrated system. This helps the subwoofer maintain speed, impact and composure across music, films and high-volume listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeep Bass Extension Down to 8.5 Hz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DB1D delivers a stated frequency range of \u003cstrong\u003e8.5 Hz to 500 Hz at -6 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a frequency response of \u003cstrong\u003e10 Hz to 350 Hz at -3 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e, centred on the level at 100 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exceptional extension allows the subwoofer to reproduce ultra-low-frequency information that is felt as much as heard. It adds physical scale to film soundtracks while revealing the depth, texture and weight contained within high-quality music recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDigital Preamplifier with Dynamic EQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn advanced digital preamplifier controls the DB1D’s amplification and drive units, while \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e helps maintain balanced bass performance across different listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are listening quietly in the evening or enjoying a film at higher volume, the subwoofer adjusts its processing to preserve definition and tonal control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApp-Based Setup and Room EQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dedicated Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins DB Subwoofer app simplifies setup and allows the DB1D to be configured from a compatible iOS or Android device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in Room EQ uses the mobile device during calibration, removing the need for a separate measurement microphone kit. Through the app, users can optimise the subwoofer for its placement, the listening room and the connected speaker system. Bluetooth Low Energy provides the connection required for setup and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Music and Movies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower alone does not guarantee convincing bass. The DB1D is engineered to combine substantial output with the speed and control needed for demanding music reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor home theatre, it delivers the depth and physical impact required for cinematic effects. In a two-channel system, it can extend the low-frequency performance of the main speakers while preserving rhythm, texture and tonal accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for 800 Series Diamond Speakers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DB1D’s Aerofoil cone technology is closely related to the bass-driver engineering used throughout Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ 800 Series Diamond loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes it a natural subwoofer partner for reference Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins systems, providing additional low-frequency extension while maintaining the speed and controlled character required for seamless integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlexible System Connectivity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DB1D includes balanced and unbalanced audio connections for integration with stereo preamplifiers, AV processors and premium home theatre systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable connections include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo XLR inputs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo RCA inputs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 3.5 mm 12-volt trigger connections\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRS-232 control through a nine-pin D connector\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual input options make the DB1D suitable for a wide range of high-performance audio and custom installation applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUltra-Rigid, Highly Damped Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DB1D’s heavily reinforced enclosure is designed to resist vibration and provide a stable platform for its powerful opposed drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts clean geometric proportions allow it to deliver substantial output without the cabinet dimensions associated with many conventional dual-driver subwoofers.
