Whether you’re listening to high-resolution stereo recordings or experiencing blockbuster movie soundtracks, this premium active subwoofer adds depth, authority, and realism that transforms every listening session.
Powered by an advanced dual-opposed 8-inch Aerofoil™ drivers, the Bowers & Wilkins DB3D Active Subwoofer eliminates cabinet vibration while maintaining exceptional control across the entire low-frequency spectrum.

One of the standout technologies incorporated into the Bowers & Wilkins DB3D Active Subwoofer is its Digital Signal Processing (DSP) platform.

Every detail of its construction has been optimized to reduce coloration and maximize structural rigidity.
For music lovers, the Bowers & Wilkins DB3D Active Subwoofer reveals bass textures often hidden by lesser subwoofers. Bass guitars gain remarkable articulation, kick drums become tighter and more impactful, while orchestral recordings benefit from extended low-frequency ambience. Jazz, classical, electronic music, rock, and pop all receive exceptional low-end realism without overpowering the rest of the audio spectrum.
Home cinema enthusiasts will appreciate the Bowers & Wilkins DB3D Active Subwoofer ability to reproduce the deepest cinematic effects with astonishing authority.
