Experience all that you’ve been missing

Our vision behind the SW series has long been clear: deliver a level of performance previously unheard of in its class and introduce listeners to the beauty of bass. The new SW series takes this one step further, making your first serious step into the world of the subwoofer more exciting, more dynamic and more compelling. Truly feel – in your chest – the high-impact excitement of your favourite films. Follow with vivid detail the stunning textures of bass guitar riffs, drum beats and cello notes like never before. Experience all that you’ve been missing thanks to the all-new SW-12.

SW-12 is designed to support your system – no matter its specifications – to significantly enhance your listening experience, not overpower it. So SW is subtle when there, but blindingly obvious when it's not. Its non-pressed paper cones increase self-damping and improve the structural rigidity of the cone itself. This helps overcome muddied and distorted bass detail to deliver taught, high impact bass response. Kick drums snap perfectly to the beat, cinematic explosions blast in time to the visuals, all of it designed compliment the effects of your loudspeakers and enhance their sonic performance.

Perfectly matched to suit your favourite speaker set

SW-12 features a 1 x 300mm active dynamic driver cone delivering a frequency response between 35Hz - 120Hz. This ensures that SW-12 provides fast, accurate and intensive bass response. Cabinet size is a respectable 430 x 395 x 442mm so that subwoofer placement is easy and non-invasive. It comes with a 300W power amplifier with a 450W peak power output, meaning deep and expressive bass notes when they’re needed. And SW-12 comes with high-gloss lacquered front baffles available in black and white, matching seamlessly with fellow award winning Wharfedale series loudspeakers and perfect for your home environment.
