Bowers & Wilkins FP38474 12" Satin White DB1D Subwoofer
Combining digital amplification with twin balanced Aerofoil™ drivers for incredible low-end power and speed, DB1D is the best Bowers & Wilkins subwoofer.
Key Features
- Diamond bass
Powerful amplification and ultra-fast Aerofoil™ drivers: a perfect partner for the acclaimed 800 Series Diamond speakers. - A smarter approach to bass
DB1D's amplifier and 12-in drivers are controlled by intelligent processing for best-in-class bass delivery. - Nimble and powerful
Solid, dramatic bass is delivered through the rigidity and lightness of the uniquely-shaped, variable thickness Aerofoil™ cone. - A question of balance
The back-to-back (opposed) drivers cancel out cabinet resonances, ensuring all that power is used to create room-shaking bass, not wasted vibrations. - The digital advantage
Digital amplification is cool-running and energy efficient, even when working hard, while Dynamic EQ and Room EQ ensure a precise sound for music and movies. - Take control
By placing control in the palm of your hand, our subwoofer app not only makes our DB Series subwoofers a snap to set up, it also helps maximize your sound quality. - Designed to deliver
DB1D’s ultra-rigid, highly damped enclosure channels all its energy into explosive, tightly-controlled bass.
Features
- The Best of Bass
The DB1D is our most powerful subwoofer yet, and is the best subwoofer in its class. Its 2000 Watt Class D amplifier bestows it with astonishing reserves of drive and authority, while its incredibly rigid structure provides the perfect platform for its twin, dual balanced 12-inch Aerofoil drivers. - Aerofoil for Precision Bass
The DB1D uses Aerofoil cones identical to those found in the 800 Series Diamond. These light, ultra-stiff drivers resist bending and flexing far longer than conventional cones, delivering controlled bass with outstanding precision. The DB1D features a massive 12-inch driver – the largest Aerofoil cone we have yet made. - Balanced Drivers
The DB1D subwoofer uses two bass cones arranged in an opposed, balanced configuration that greatly reduces cabinet vibration and ensures a cleaner, more precise sound. The result: fantastic, coloration-free bass. - Digital
Thanks to an all-new digital pre-amplifier, the DB1D subwoofer’s awesome power is always delivered at optimum levels. Bespoke features such as Dynamic EQ and Room EQ ensure precision performance in every circumstance – such as home cinema, custom installation or two-channel Hi-Fi. - Dedicated App
App-based set-up means the DB1D is simple to configure and use. The App includes positioning guides and can be used to set up and control both output and audio preset modes. A Room EQ system allows you to optimise the subwoofer’s performance for your room automatically. No separate microphone kit is required and the App is available for iOS and Android. - Perfect Partner
The DB1D is the obvious partner for a system built using the award-winning 800 Series Diamond. It has been engineered with this in mind, and uses the same Aerofoil bass drivers. However, this incredibly capable subwoofer also works exceptionally well with a CM Series system, and provides a fantastic option for owners of this high-performance range.
