General Description
The BOWERS & WILKINS ASW610 Matte White is a surface-mount active subwoofer designed to complement stereo and home cinema systems with deep, controlled, and highly precise bass. Its sealed enclosure keeps low-frequency reproduction tight and defined, while the matte white finish with a grey grille allows for clean visual integration in living rooms, bedrooms, studios, and contemporary residential projects.
The ASW610 uses a 250 mm (10-inch) long-throw driver, manufactured with a paper and aramid fiber cone, along with a 200W Class D amplifier. This combination is geared toward displacing large volumes of air without losing control within a compact cabinet. Its frequency response reaches 27 Hz with an adjustable upper window of 40 to 140 Hz at ±3 dB, and it offers a bass extension selector that allows the response to be adapted to the room and the main system.
Connectivity includes an RCA line-level input, speaker-level input via binding posts, and a 12V trigger. The fourth-order active low-pass filter features a variable cutoff frequency and a bypass function, facilitating integration with both stereo amplifiers and AV receivers that have a subwoofer output. Level, phase, roll-off alignment, bass extension, and auto-power controls allow for fine-tuning performance for a balanced and personalized installation.

Ideal for
The BOWERS & WILKINS ASW610 Matte White is ideal for home cinema systems, hi-fi stereo equipment, and listening rooms that require deep bass without using a large enclosure. It adapts to living rooms, bedrooms, studios, apartments, multimedia spaces, and residential integration projects where the matte white finish facilitates a discreet installation. Its RCA and speaker-level inputs allow it to be connected to a wide variety of amplifiers and receivers, while the 12V trigger, variable filter, bypass, and phase/bass extension adjustments allow for precise calibration. It is also an excellent option when choosing to install two subwoofers to improve bass control in larger spaces.
