Upgrade your bass as Bowers & Wilkins launches its DB Series of subwoofers
Bowers & Wilkins has launched a brand new range of subwoofers to help transform your home audio with a huge boost of bass. The three new models of the new DB Series are the most powerful subwoofers the firm has ever made.
Comprising the flagship DB1D, DB2D, and compact DB3D, the range follows in the footsteps of the impressive DB-1, while incorporating advances from the award-winning 800 Series Diamond loudspeakers, including Aerofoil cones.
All three models have masses of power on tap – with the DB1D featuring an impressive 2,000 Watts – plus dual-opposed drive units and an incredibly rigid cabinet that helps reduce distortion for deep, agile bass.
All three will be available from next month with the DB1D priced at £4,150, the DB2D at £3,200 and the DB3D retailing for £2,300.
Rock Band VR pre-orders are live right now on the Oculus Store
Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero Live may have had a bumpy attempt at a renaissance (with the latter's studio getting canned last year as a result), but that hasn't stopped the rebuilt rhythm train from trundling on with Rock Band VR.
Set for release on 23 March, you can now pre-order Rock Band VR on the Oculus Store, including a bundle that includes the game, a compatible Rock Band Fender Stratocaster controller and a connector that links it up to the Oculus Touch (all for $69.99).
Recreating the classic 'note highway' experience of Rock Band in VR, Rock Band VR will enable you to feel like you're a real life musician rocking out on stage. Check out the official site for more details.
