Mighty Mini Marvel

The Bowers & Wilkins ASW608 is the most compact subwoofer in the ASW Series, but don't let its size fool you. Combining a long-throw 8-inch driver with 200 watts of Class D amplification in a closed-box enclosure, the ASW608 delivers deep, accurate, and controlled bass that punches well above its weight class. It is the ideal choice for audiophiles with space constraints or anyone who wants to add real depth to their sound without dominating the room.

Whether you are completing a 600 Series home theatre system or adding weight to a stereo hi-fi setup, the ASW608 integrates naturally and effortlessly. Its compact footprint of just 260 x 260 x 330mm means it fits discreetly into any room, while its performance will make its presence unmistakably felt.

Precision Engineering in a Compact Enclosure

• Paper/Aramid Fibre Cone: The long-throw driver uses a lightweight but rigid composite cone that delivers fast, tight, and dramatic bass response with minimal colouration
• 200W Class D Amplification: A powerful and efficient amplifier stage ensures the driver can be controlled precisely across its full range, from the subtlest bass lines to the most demanding low-frequency effects
• Low Distortion: The combination of the closed-box design and quality driver construction keeps distortion to a minimum, preserving the integrity of the bass in complex musical passages
• Deep Extension: Despite its compact size, the ASW608 reaches low enough that you feel the bass as much as you hear it

Versatile Integration

• Stereo Line Inputs: RCA connections allow direct connection from any AV receiver or stereo amplifier with a dedicated subwoofer output
• Speaker-Level Inputs: Connect directly from amplifier speaker terminals if your system has no dedicated sub output, making the ASW608 compatible with virtually any setup
• 12V Trigger: Automates power on/off in sync with your amplifier or AV receiver for a seamless, hands-free experience
• Auto Sense: Detects an incoming audio signal and wakes automatically from standby, saving energy without any loss of performance
• Phase Switch: Allows you to align the subwoofer's output with your main speakers for optimal bass integration in any room

Designed to Disappear, Built to Impress

• Compact Footprint: At just 260 x 260 x 330mm, the ASW608 fits neatly into corners, beneath furniture, or alongside a bookshelf speaker system without drawing attention to itself
• Two Finish Options: Available in matte black or white to complement any room or speaker system
• 600 Series Partner: Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series speaker range, matching both aesthetically and sonically
