Bass. When push comes to shove, you have to be serious
about bass. At B&W, it’s a science. We test materials,
structures and circuits to their limit to get better bass for
your buck.
You might not think a material like paper would
tie in very well with a B&W bass driver. Turn the
volume up on one of our 600 Series subwoofers,
for instance, and you could probably shake
wallpaper off walls. So it might surprise a lot of
listeners to find that paper plays a vital part in
what they’re hearing. In our ASW608, ASW610
and ASW610XP subs, the bass driver diaphragms
are constructed from a finely-tuned mix of paper
pulp, Kevlar® fibres and resin, which provides
the stiffness needed to withstand the tremendous
physical forces exerted by the voice coil and
pressures inside the cabinet.
For the 683 bass drivers, which operate to
higher frequencies than the subwoofers, that
paper/Kevlar® mix is closely bonded to an
aluminium front skin and the unit features our novel
‘mushroom’ construction in which the cone, dust
cap and voice coil bobbin are bonded together
like a ring girder. Extra measures to extend the
performance.
Ultra-solid construction - that’s the key to slamming
bass, drum kicks and special movie effects.
Deformation is minimised; bass precision, power
and enjoyment are maximised.
