Airpulse Releases SW8 Active Subwoofer
Renowned designer Phil Jones is back with Airpulse's newly announced SW8 compact 8" active subwoofer.
The SW8 is the perfect companion for active bookshelf speakers, desktop monitors, or even soundbars to augment the lower registers. It features an 8-inch long-throw woofer paired with a robust 170W RMS Class D amplifier. Airpulse says, "This potent combination ensures accurate, powerful bass response that is both deep and clean, enhancing any audio setting, from intense movie scenes to high-energy musical performances."
The SW8 isn't just a subwoofer; it's a harmonious companion that seamlessly integrates with Airpulse's A80, A100, and SM200 active speakers.
Boyd Dainton, Owner and Managing Director of Audacity Australia, told StereoNET:
Airpulse is designed by famed sound engineer and speaker designer, Phil Jones and continues to bring to market affordable high-quality speakers and audio products. The Airpulse range that we carry gives Australians an added dimension to their home theatre/gaming room performance. It is the ideal house setup for family entertainment.
The built-in analog preamp ensures precise and impactful audio delivery, allowing you to feel the music and be immersed in movies. You can also control the SW8's gain, low-pass crossover, and phase controls. Tailor low-frequency tones to seamlessly blend with your speakers, creating an audio atmosphere that suits your room perfectly. With line-level/LFE RCA inputs, you can connect the SW8 easily to other active speakers, soundbars, or AV receivers with ease.
The Airpulse SW8 will be available in July 2024 and will sell for $699 RRP in Australia.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
