Wharfedale SW12 Active Subwoofer In Black

Wharfedale SW-12 Subwoofer – Award-Winning Bass with Cinematic Impact

Step into the world of deep, immersive sound with the Wharfedale SW-12 – a subwoofer designed to deliver exceptional low-frequency performance with stunning precision. As part of the EVO 4.4 5.1 speaker system, this subwoofer earned the coveted ‘What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 Award, thanks to its outstanding ability to add cinematic weight and authority to any audio setup.

Power Meets Precision

At the heart of the SW-12 is a high-excursion 12-inch (300mm) long-throw cone driver. Engineered for powerful sound projection, it effortlessly moves large volumes of air, producing commanding bass that anchors movie soundtracks and music with depth and authority. The cone’s copper-lined centre vents help control distortion, ensuring a clean, tight response, even during demanding passages.

Dynamic Class-D Amplification

Driving the performance is a robust, high-efficiency Class-D amplifier, delivering 300 watts of RMS power and peaking at an astonishing 450 watts. This ensures dynamic, responsive low frequencies that maintain composure at all volume levels, without ever sounding boomy or loose.

Customised Bass for Every Space

Tailor the subwoofer’s output to suit your room with fully adjustable volume and crossover controls. Whether you’re integrating it into a compact living room or a dedicated cinema space, you can fine-tune the frequency response (30 – 150Hz) for seamless integration with your existing speaker system. The switchable phase control allows flexible placement, ensuring sonic cohesion even when positioned behind your listening area.

Designed for Impact – Sonically and Visually

The SW-12 doesn’t just sound good – it looks the part too. A gloss black baffle and extended feet lend it a modern yet unobtrusive presence, while the removable fabric grille provides protection without compromising style. Its refined aesthetic allows it to blend into any décor while standing out in performance.

Reliable and Protected

Backed by Wharfedale’s 3-year manufacturer’s warranty and an extended 6-year guarantee from Richer Sounds, the SW-12 offers peace of mind along with powerful performance.
