The Bowers & Wilkins DB2D is a compact, sealed active subwoofer in the DB Series. It combines two horizontally opposed 250 mm (10 in) Aerofoil-cone bass drivers in a balanced, force-cancelling configuration with a 1,000 W Hypex Class D amplifier. DSP-based control, a digital preamplifier with Dynamic EQ, app-based setup/room optimization, and wired control integration are provided for high-end music and home-theater systems. The opposing-driver arrangement is intended to reduce cabinet vibration and support deep, controlled bass from a relatively compact enclosure.
