Airpulse has recently announced the release of their SW8 compact 8” active subwoofer, designed by renowned designer Phil Jones. This subwoofer is the perfect addition to active bookshelf speakers, desktop monitors, or soundbars, providing accurate and powerful bass response with its 8-inch long-throw woofer and robust 170W RMS Class D amplifier. The SW8 is not just a subwoofer, but a harmonious companion that seamlessly integrates with Airpulse’s A80, A100, and SM200 active speakers.
Boyd Dainton, Owner and Managing Director of Audacity Australia, praised Airpulse for bringing affordable high-quality speakers and audio products to the market. He highlighted how the Airpulse range enhances home theater and gaming room performance, creating an ideal setup for family entertainment.
The SW8 features a built-in analog preamp for precise and impactful audio delivery, allowing users to feel the music and immerse themselves in movies. It also offers control over gain, low-pass crossover, and phase settings, allowing users to tailor low-frequency tones to blend seamlessly with their speakers and room acoustics. With line-level/LFE RCA inputs, connecting the SW8 to other active speakers, soundbars, or AV receivers is a breeze.
The Airpulse SW8 is set to be released in July 2024 with a price tag of $699 RRP in Australia. For more information, interested individuals can visit the Airpulse website.
