Sony India on Wednesday introduced the latest addition to its portfolio of in-car offerings with the new XS-AW8 compact powered subwoofer. For those of you wondering, this subwoofer is capable of offering great audio, despite it’s compact, versatile form factor.

As the company puts it, the new XS-AW8 subwoofer allows you to gain bass without losing car space, providing hassle-free punch to the music in any sized car.

In terms of the design of the subwoofer, the slim design allows for easy installation in restricted spaces. Despite this, the XS-AW8 reproduces powerful bass, since the slim enclosure is mated with a rigid subwoofer diaphragm.

The built-in amplifier integrates a sturdy heat-sink, which is a requirement on most speakers, aiding in protection, minus the unwanted vibrations.

The new XS-AW8 also comes with a remote commander (wired) which can let the customers adjust the subwoofer volume simply from the driver’s seat, without having to move forward and handle the buttons.

In case you do need to physically control the subwoofer, connections and amplifier controls are located on a single side for easy installation and tuning. The amplifier features a variable low-pass filter for simple connection to the full-range sources, including the speaker-level inputs.

A switch lets the user customize the subwoofer phase output, to present any reduced bass response from phase cancellation.

Price and Availability

The new XS-AQ8 subwoofer will be available across Sony authorized dealers, car accessories shops and car showrooms across India from 1st February 2021 onwards, for a price of Rs 19,990.
