B&W Debuts Custom Installation Gear at ISE

Bowers & Wilkins introduced several new products for the custom installation market at ISE 2022: the CDA-2HD and CDA-4D DSP amplifiers, and the ISW-6 and ISW-8 in-wall subwoofers.

The CDA-2HD is a high-power distribution amplifier with embedded DSP that allows optimization of a wide range of products and dynamic EQ for Bowers & Wilkins subwoofers. It boasts two channels of 500 watts each, within a half-rack width 2U design. As a compact distribution amplifier with embedded DSP as well, the CDA-4D boasts four channels of 125 watts each, and its 1U design delivers high-performance from minimum rack space.
