Bowers & Wilkins PV1D black

When you’ve already pushed the boundaries of technological design further than anyone else, what do you do? It’s simple: you try to go even further. The PV1 has long been considered an icon in home subwoofer design, both for its unique shape and its exceptional audio performance. But by integrating a new digital dimension into its improved version - the PV1D - we think we’ve made it even better.

The PV1D’s intrinsic rigidity properties allow it to be pushed even further. The symmetrical mounting of its twin speakers allows it to maintain perfect balance and remain firmly anchored to the ground. There is therefore no extraneous noise. The back-to-back positioning also helps to improve air distribution inside the enclosure. Combined with a brand new 400 W amplifier, the speakers have enough dynamics and precision to deliver everything you expect from a subwoofer. Big sound from a small bubble.

Adapting the digital platform we specially developed for our DB1 subwoofer allows the PV1D to be optimized and controlled with much more precision than its predecessor. Do you like the visceral impact of infrasonic effects in action movies? Maybe you prefer a more homogeneous rendering that compensates for the resonances of your listening room? Whatever your preferences, thanks to the many equalization possibilities at your disposal, the choice is entirely up to you.
