There's a reason bass frequencies are called "fundamentals."And the PSW-1 powered subwoofer provides just the right sonic foundation to anchor music, special effects, and our emotions as we respond to the clues provided by composers and sound engineers. Despite its small size, the PSW-1 draws on the AAD's substantial knowledge and experience to provide a wholly unexpected level of bass response.

Each of the PSW -1' s six high excursion aluminum cone 5.25"drivers features a 4-layer 1"copper voice coil. Although most people do not associate smaller drivers with significant bass output, the total cone area of these drivers exceeds that of a single 12"cone. In addition, the smaller cones offer a degree of control most other bass reproducers simply can not approach. The result is low frequency performance that is tight, responsive, and very revealing of the detail most other subwoofers obscure.

The integral 200 watt Class AB amplifier uses proven bipolar transistors to assure excellent dynamic response to the most demanding bass frequencies. A five-band equalizer with adjustments at 25, 40, 60, 80, and 100 Hz means you can tailor the PSW -1' s response to virtually any room regardless of where in that room you place it. A continuously variable phase control (0 through -180°), a variable crossover (40 through 160 Hz), and a low-pass gain control blends the PSW -1' s output with whatever full range speakers you choose.

The result is stunning bass response from an enclosure small enough to almost disappear in any room. It's the perfect complement to a full P Series system or an ideal add-on for anyone who wants to simply improve the bass response of speakers already in a system.
