For the first time, your home theater can reproduce all the detail and explosive impact film makers experience in their studios.

Superior low frequency performance—whether as part of a home theater system or in a two-channel music system—demands high quality, high current amplification. The active WATCH Dog certainly provides both. Nevertheless, listening tests clearly show that the most cohesive systems are those with matching amplifiers driving all of the loudspeakers, including the subwoofers.

The new passive WATCH Dog provides the most cost-effective and flexible approach to that goal, whether in a single unit or a multiple configuration. Key to this flexibility is the new external WATCH Dog Controller.

A true subwoofer, capable of clean, distortion-free sub-frequency response, has to be sufficiently large to move the volume of air which visceral frequencies require. As hard as come manufacturers may try, there's no getting around the laws of physics on the one. The good new is, the passive WATCH Dog is 40 % smaller than its predecessor, while maintaining the same internal tuned volume. So the new WATCH Dog is easier to place in your listening environment with no sacrifice in performance.
