Wharfedale NOVA 10 Active Subwoofer – Black
The Wharfedale NOVA 10 active subwoofer adds deeper, more controlled bass to your hi-fi system or home cinema setup without taking up too much space. Finished in black, this compact 10-inch subwoofer combines a long-throw driver, powerful Class-D amplification and advanced digital signal processing (DSP) to deliver bass down to 26Hz. Whether you're listening to music or watching films, the NOVA 10 brings extra depth and impact to your favourite content.
Deep Bass from a Compact Design
The Wharfedale NOVA 10 combines a 250mm long-throw active driver with a 250mm down-firing Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR). This design helps extend low-frequency output without the need for a conventional bass reflex port, reducing unwanted port noise while delivering impressive bass from a compact cabinet.
Powerful Class-D Amplification
With 260W nominal power and up to 500W peak output, the NOVA 10 has the power to handle demanding bass passages with control and definition. Its Class-D amplifier delivers the output needed for music and movie soundtracks, helping bring greater weight and impact to low frequencies.
Advanced DSP for Balanced Bass
Built-in digital signal processing helps manage the subwoofer's response at different listening levels. Dynamic EQ adjusts bass performance in relation to the input signal, helping maintain a balanced sound whether you're listening quietly in the evening or turning up the volume for a film.
Music and Movie Modes
The NOVA 10 features two DSP-controlled listening modes to suit different types of content. Music mode focuses on tight, well-defined bass that blends naturally with your main speakers, while Movie mode adds extra weight and impact to film soundtracks for a more immersive home cinema experience.
Reduced Distortion for Cleaner Sound
Aluminium shorting rings within the driver's motor system help reduce inductance changes and minimise distortion. This supports a more controlled response, allowing bass notes and sudden low-frequency effects to sound clearer and more precise.
Easy Integration with Hi-Fi and Home Cinema Systems
Adjustable crossover, phase and volume controls make it easier to match the NOVA 10 to your existing speakers and listening room. Stereo line-level inputs, LFE compatibility and speaker-level connections provide flexibility when connecting the subwoofer to a range of stereo amplifiers and AV receivers.
Compact Subwoofer for Smaller Listening Spaces
Designed for small to medium-sized rooms, the Wharfedale NOVA 10 offers a practical way to improve bass performance without needing a large subwoofer. Its black finish suits a variety of home entertainment setups, making it a versatile addition to a stereo music system or home cinema.
