WHARFEDALE SW-150
ACTIVE SUBWOOFER 10" 150W
Overview:
The Wharfedale SW-150, SW-250, SW-300 and SW-380 represent 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.
- A unique curved cabinet (on the larger models) not only improves aesthetics, also 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. Fully remote controlled (not SW-150) with four programmable memory settings, allow customization of crossover, phase and volume, all form the users listening position.
TECHNOLOGY
Advanced “Tri-Lam” cone: The new “Tri-Lam” cones introduced on all the SW-models are marvels of materials technology and application. Although huge, they remain completely controlled at all times.
- Sealed enclosure (not SW-150): A sealed enclosure offers improved control. It significantly reduces the ‘group delay’ effect - essentially interference patterns between the moving air from the pot and what’s coming from the driver, but also provides better driver damping - tightening bass and further reduces overhang.
- Damping and extended voice-coil: Completely controlled even under extreme dynamics, the advanced voice coils allow the cone to travel to the full 24mm maximum excursion with a linear pistonic motion.
- High power amplifiers: A new Class AB amplifier has been specifically designed for the models. 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.
- Memory function with four settings (not SW 150): Four memory settings are provided to store all of the calibration information for a range of uses, and be recalled at the press of a button.Full remote control (not SW-150): Uses can set up the full system from the actual listening position and change easily without having to move furniture or otherwise access the rear panel.
