The Audio Pro SW-5 is a compact Scandi subwoofer offering punchy bass for £270

Swedish speaker maker Audio Pro has launched a new compact subwoofer that harks back to a 1970’s classic. Influenced heavily by the vintage B2-50, the company’s new SW-5 (£270) subwoofer is being pitched as an affordable option for those seeking bone-rattling bass without breaking the bank. The understated cuboid sub is dripping with minimalist Scandi charm, and should fit into most living spaces due to its diminutive size – it measures in at just 275 x 275 x 290mm (HxWxD). Functionality wise, the little sub that could features a 150W DPS controlled digital class D amplifier, support for RCA inputs, a frequency range of 35Hz – 130Hz, and variable crossover of 50Hz – 130Hz. Audio Pro claims that setup is capable of punching well above its weight, and if you’re inclined to agree, you can grab the SW-5 right now in black or white.

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
