Audio Pro lowers the tone with compact SW-5 subwoofer

Swedish Hi-Fi outfit Audio Pro has launched a compact lifestyle subwoofer, the SW-5, to partner its collection of wireless sound systems.

The company is no stranger to deep bass, having released its first active subwoofer, the B2.50, in the 1970s. With its unique ACE bass technology, that model’s influence can still be seen in subsequent launches.

The SW-5 follows on from last year’s slightly larger SW-10, but is designed more for everyday use. The model features a downward-firing 8-inch long-throw woofer and has a 150W digital class D power plant. Connectivity is via a single phono.

Jens Henriksen, CCO at Audio Pro, said: “For many years, our Addon SUB has been extremely popular with customers looking for an affordable, yet impactful, subwoofer. As we update our product range with a new generation of speakers and subs, the SW-5 fills the Addon SUB’s gap. Its small, efficient form supports the likes of the C5 and C10 perfectly, alongside alternative speakers with a sub output.”

“The SW-5 produces just the right level of sound. Put simply, it offers a ‘basic sub’ in relation to the others in our range but performs at a much higher level than your average subwoofer, with an impressive bass making your body literally vibrate.”

The Audio Pro SW-5 subwoofer is available in black or white finishes, and sells for £255.
