Product Features

The Bowers & Wilkins PV-1D Compact Subwoofer Speaker is a high-performance subwoofer designed to deliver deep and powerful bass even in small spaces. This compact subwoofer is ideal for any home theatre setup, providing an immersive and dynamic soundstage that will enhance your movie-watching and music-listening experience.

Design and Functions

The PV-1D subwoofer has a small footprint, measuring only 8.5 inches in height and 14 inches in width. This means it can easily fit into any room, no matter how large or small. The subwoofer also includes an amplifier and a variety of connectivity options, such as RCA and XLR inputs. This makes it simple to connect to a variety of audio sources, such as a surround sound receiver or a stereo system.

Performance

Even in small spaces, the PV-1D subwoofer is designed to deliver powerful and deep bass. Its 8-inch driver and built-in amplifier work in tandem to deliver rich, impactful bass that will enhance your audio experience. The built-in amplifier gives you precise control over the bass output, allowing you to tailor the bass to your preferences and the acoustics of the room. This means you can fine-tune the subwoofer to your preferences, ensuring the best bass response for your audio content.

Placement and Integration

The PV-1D subwoofer's connectivity options make it simple to integrate with a variety of audio sources, such as a surround sound receiver or a stereo system. As a result, the subwoofer can be used with nearly any setup, making it a versatile addition to any home theatre. The PV-1D subwoofer's compact design makes it suitable for small or large rooms, and it can be placed in a variety of locations depending on the acoustics of your room and your personal preferences.

Balanced drive

The term "balanced drive" refers to a method of driving a speaker that connects the amplifier's positive and negative terminals to the speaker. This can help to reduce distortion and improve the speaker's overall sound quality. In the case of the Bowers & Wilkins PV-1D Compact Subwoofer Speaker, it is likely that it employs a balanced drive system to improve subwoofer performance.

Digital signal processing

The use of digital processing techniques to manipulate and optimise audio signals is referred to as digital signal processing, or DSP. DSP could be used in a speaker like the Bowers & Wilkins PV-1D Compact Subwoofer Speaker to adjust the frequency response, phase, and other parameters to ensure optimal performance in the listening environment. DSP could also be used to improve the subwoofer's overall sound quality by reducing distortion and increasing clarity. This can assist in ensuring that the subwoofer produces a consistent and accurate low-frequency response regardless of the room or other factors that may affect sound quality.

400W Class-D amplifier

A Class-D amplifier is a type of digital amplifier that produces an amplified output signal by using pulse-width modulation (PWM). It is notable for its high efficiency, low heat dissipation, and small size. The subwoofer driver is most likely powered by the 400W Class-D amplifier in the Bowers & Wilkins PV-1D Compact Subwoofer Speaker. This type of amplifier can deliver a high amount of power while exhibiting minimal distortion, making it ideal for reproducing low-frequency audio signals. Because it is a high-powered Class-D amplifier, it also enables the creation of a compact subwoofer with high-performance, high-volume output and low heat dissipation.
