Monitor Audio ASW100 Subwoofer

ASW-100 is a compact and light subwoofer. There are a 250mm head and two bass-reflex ports on the back panel - quite a typical feature of Monitor Audio systems. Controls and terminals are closely grouped on the service panel. Linear inputs (no outputs), high-amplitude inputs and outputs with correction of powerful signal by high-frequency filter (frequency cut - 110 Hz) are available. The phase of radiation changes smoothly.

I must say that the potential of ASW-100 for such compact sizes is quite significant. It sings the bass without radical depth but with a good pressure. The sound character becomes the most attractive at the maximal LPF band; you can feel free also with level control. In this state the subwoofer is able to treat you with effective "killing" bass albeit a bit coloring. At bandwidth reduction a relative role of deep components increases, but the charm of some characteristic theatrical effects disappears. At an average volume level ASW-100 creates quite a cozy low-frequency atmosphere. The appropriate acoustics for it in the 2.1 system is shelf monitors. Developed dynamics of the upper bass, a good energy resource provide an adequate realization of many ideas of sound producer and the reliable support of musical stereo.
