XS-AW8

(Asia Pacific, 7 October 2020) – Sony introduces the new XS-AW8 compact powered subwoofer, adding a new product category to the company’s in-car offerings. This powerful subwoofer offers the great audio customers have come to expect from Sony, in a compact and versatile form factor. The new XS-AW8 subwoofer allows you to gain bass without losing car space, providing hassle-free, punch and presence to the music in any sized car.

Key Features of XS-AW8 Compact Powered Subwoofer

Powerful Sound

• 160W Peak Output Power – Fill the car with 160W (75W RMS) of clean and dynamic bass sound from a built-in class A/B amplifier, with Sony’s original power IC designed for precise and clear low end, even at its loudest.
• High Level Input – Even when using a factory radio with no preamp outputs, users can simply connect the speaker outputs of their receiver to the high-level inputs. When pre-out signals are available from the receiver, connect them to the CH1(R) and CH2(L) terminals. High voltage pre-out compatibility means customers can utilize higher voltage up to 5V for a clean audio signal and less external noise.

Advanced Design

• Sleek, Shallow Subwoofer – The slim design allows installation in restricted spaces and fills the car with clean and deep base lines.

• Optimally Designed Driver Unit and Low Resonance Cart-aluminum Enclosure – To reproduce powerful bass sound from its compact dimensions, the slim enclosure is paired with a rigid subwoofer diaphragm. The built-in amplifier also integrates a sturdy heat-sink to protect the driver unit and amp without introducing unwanted vibrations and harmonic distortion.

Convenient Utility

• Wired Remote Commander – A wired remote commander allows customers to adjust the subwoofer volume from the driver’s seat.

• Single-sided Controls & Terminals – Connections and amplifier controls are located together on a single side for easy installation and tuning. The amplifier features a variable low-pass filter for simple connection to full-range sources, including the speaker-level inputs. A switch lets users customize the subwoofer phase output, to present any reduced bass response due from phase cancellation from other speakers in the system.

  

Availability

The XS-AW8 will be available in selected countries in Asia Pacific from November 2020. For full product details, please visit: https://www.sony-asia.com/electronics/car-subwoofers/xs-aw8
