The DSW PRO 440 wi is meticulously crafted with an enclosure that is acoustically optimized for perfect volume, ensuring distortion-free low frequencies. The internal bracing and damping are specifically engineered to eliminate standing waves and resonances that can detract from sound quality. Polk's intelligent amplifiers are a marvel of digital efficiency, delivering high-quality sound with minimal power consumption and heat generation, and they possess the ability to enter an energy-conserving 'Standby' mode when not in active use.

Innovative feed-forward distortion suppression technology allows this subwoofer to operate at performance levels that approach the theoretical maximum output without the risk of distortion or damage. This ensures that even at the most extreme listening levels, the bass remains clean and impactful. With the convenience of a remote controller, users can select from four preset "room optimizers," allowing Polk's exclusive PRO technology to calibrate the optimal bass and blending settings for your specific listening environment.

Utilizing the state-of-the-art Klippel distortion analyzer, the DSW PRO 440 wi's woofer motor structure, voice coil alignment, and suspension are optimized for unimpeded movement across a broad spectrum of low frequencies. This guarantees peak performance and efficiency, even during intense bass experiences. Polk Audio's patented Dynamic Balance process contributes to the subwoofer's ability to deliver cleaner, clearer sound by employing unique driver materials, speaker geometry, and enclosure construction techniques.

The lightweight, super-stiff composite polypropylene cones enhance efficiency and control, while the durable rubber surrounds ensure superior damping and a wide range of motion. The DSW PRO 440 wi offers the flexibility of downward or front-firing positioning, with a smart-looking grille that can be snapped on for a front-firing configuration, allowing for placement versatility within audio furniture or rack systems.

A unique slot-loaded port design significantly increases the port surface area, yielding deeper, smoother bass response even within a compact cabinet size. Special tuning of this design also eliminates chuffing and air turbulence, ensuring distortion-free bass. Adjustments are made simple with feedback from the blue status LED, four-way phase selection, and full control of the Polk Room Optimizer (PRO), all accessible without leaving your seat.

Connectivity is a breeze with LFE, line-level inputs and outputs, and 5-way binding posts for speaker-level inputs, facilitating effortless connections to any system. Additionally, the "Night Mode" feature allows for a quick reduction in the subwoofer's intensity, easily managed via the remote control. The DSW PRO 440 wi is engineered to blend seamlessly with other Polk loudspeakers, creating a cohesive and immersive audio experience that is both powerful and high-quality.
