Introduction/General Description

The Magneplanar DW 1 is a dipole, thin-film planar/magnetic woofer which is a derivative of the MG 20.1

DiPlanar woofer technology. The DW 1 can be driven simultaneously by 3 separate amplifiers (typically the front

left, center and right channels).

The DW 1 is a "fast" woofer with flat response to 5 kHz which makes the DW 1 ideal for blending with all

Magneplanar on-wall models or center channels that have limited bass response.
