About the Wharfedale's SW150 Subwoofer

• The addition of a sub-woofer will add weight and authority to any stereo system, extending the frequency response much further than conventional bass drivers. With the Wharfedale SW150 subwoofer, the built-in amplifiers are engineered to provide a powerful response at these frequencies, while a continuously variable crossover provides seamless integration with the other speakers in the system. All models offer a phase adjustment for the additional matching of the sound.
   
• In a multi-channel system, a sub is recommended to handle the 'LFE' or Low Frequency Effects channel of Dolby Digital or DTS sound. The PowerCube provides the impact and dynamics to really bring the soundtrack to life without ever sounding boomy or woolly.
   
• The Wharfedale SW-150 represents the state-of-the-art in home cinema subwoofers. With large format drivers and very powerful amplifiers, they are able to reproduce the true dynamics and scale of the original recording without compromise. The cabinet is designed to significantly increases the overall rigidity of the cabinet, reducing resonance and overhang to almost negligible levels.
   
• An advanced microprocessor controlled filter section preserves optimum signal purity, whilst offering the consumer the best possible user interface. Advanced cone diaphragm, the new KEVLAR cones introduced on all the SW-models are marvels of materials technology and application. Although huge, they remain completely controlled at all times.
   
• A sealed enclosure on the SW150 offers improved control. It significantly reduces the 'group delay' effect - essentially interference patterns between the moving air from the port and that coming from the driver, but also provides better driver damping- tightening bass and further reduces overhang. The damping and extended voice-coil is completely controlled even under extreme dynamics, the advanced voice coils allow the cone to travel to the full 24 mm maximum excursion with a truly linear pistonic motion.
   
• A brand new Class AB amplifier has been specifically designed for Wharfedale SW150. Very low distortion, exceptional headroom, and a high internal electrical damping factor provide accurate control of the speaker, for performance well above the specification.
   
• Advanced subwoofer processing / filter system. All subs use an advanced microprocessor controlled analogue low-pass filter section for sonic performance with a low noise floor. It is possible to switch all filters off if used in a high quality AV system.
