B&W DB1D
Active subwoofer by Bowers & Wilkins fitted with a 2000-watt amplifier and two symmetrically arranged Aerofoil drivers.
Description
The DB1D is an active subwoofer from Bowers & Wilkins, designed to reproduce the low frequencies of a hi-fi or home cinema system with high power and precision. It is the most powerful model the brand has developed in this category.
Its integrated amplifier delivers 2000 watts of power, allowing it to drive the drivers directly without the need for an external amplifier dedicated to the bass. This built-in electronics powers two Aerofoil drivers arranged symmetrically, a configuration designed to balance the movement of air inside the cabinet and limit unwanted vibration of the enclosure.
This type of subwoofer is aimed at high-end installations, demanding home cinema setups or stereo systems seeking bass reinforcement capable of reaching low frequencies while retaining control. It suits users who already have a high-level system or home cinema setup, where low-frequency reproduction quality is a priority.
What to check before buying used
On this active subwoofer, check that the integrated amplifier works properly and that there is no noise, hum or unexpected cut-out at high power. The two symmetrical Aerofoil drivers should be free from tears or sagging suspensions, which ensure balanced air movement. Also check the condition of the cabinet and the vents, as well as the rear connectivity (inputs, level and crossover frequency controls), which should respond without any faulty contact.
