shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product. Do not place any object containing liquid
on top of the product.

15 Cleaning – Unplug the product from the wall outlet

before cleaning. The cabinet of the subwoofer may
be cleaned by dusting with a dry cloth. If you wish
to use an aerosol cleaning spray, do not spray
directly on the cabinet; spray onto the cloth.
Remove the grille first so that the cloth does not
become stained, but be careful not to disturb the
drive unit. The grille itself may be cleaned using a
soft brush.

16 Attachments – Do not use attachments not

recommended by the product manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.

17 Accessories – Do not place this product on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The
product may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with
the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.

18 Moving the appliance – A product and cart

combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force
and uneven surfaces may cause the
product and cart combination to
overturn. Check that there are no

cables under the carpet that may be damaged by
the spike feet. Do not walk the product on the
spike feet as this may cause them to become
detached from the cabinet and cause damage.
Take care not to impale yourself with the spike
feet.

19 Non-use Periods – The power cord of the

appliance should be unplugged from the outlet
during lightning storms or when the apparatus is
left unused for a long period of time.

20 Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product

yourself, as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

21 Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
personnel under the following conditions:

a When the power-supply cord or plug has been

damaged.

b If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen

into the appliance.

c If the product has been exposed to rain or

water.

d If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.

e If the product has been dropped, or damaged in

any way.

f

When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance – this indicates a need for service.

22 Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorised substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards. 

23 Mains Fuses – For continued protection against fire

hazard, use fuses only of the correct type and
rating. The amplifier is designed to operate with
nominal mains supplies in the range 100V to 230V
AC, but different types of fuse are used,
dependent on the mains voltage. The correct fuse
specification for each voltage range is marked on
the product.

24 Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or

repairs to this product, ask the service technician
to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.

25 Magnetic Fields – the product creates a stray static

magnetic field. Do not place any object that may
be damaged by this magnetic field (eg cathode ray
tube televisions or computer monitors, audio and
video tapes and swipe cards) within 0.5m (2 feet)
of the appliance. The appliance may cause
distortion of cathode ray tube images beyond this
distance.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a B&W ASW Active
Subwoofer.

Since its foundation in 1966, the continuing
philosophy of B&W has been the quest for perfect
sound reproduction. Inspired by the company’s
founder, the late John Bowers, this quest has entailed
not only high investment in audio technology and
innovation but also an abiding appreciation of music
and the demands of film sound to ensure that the
technology is put to maximum effect.

This subwoofer has been designed for Home Theatre
installations and to augment the bass performance of
full-range speakers in 2-channel audio use. Adding the
subwoofer to your system not only extends the bass
to lower frequencies, it improves the midrange clarity
by reducing the low-frequency demands on your
existing speakers.

Please read through this manual fully before using the
subwoofer. All sound installations require some
planning and experimentation if you are to get the best
out of the products used and this manual will guide
you in this process.
