Details
Experience unparalleled sonic excellence with the Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4, the reference-grade floor-standing loudspeaker that redefines high-fidelity audio.
This latest evolution of the iconic 800 Series Diamond represents the pinnacle of Bowers & Wilkins' engineering prowess. The 801 D4 incorporates a treasure trove of cutting-edge acoustic technologies, meticulously curated to deliver an unparalleled listening experience.
Unveiling a New Standard in Audio Performance
- Turbine Head: This innovative design utilizes an exceptionally stiff and inert all-aluminum housing to isolate the crucial midrange cone. By minimizing unwanted resonances, the Turbine Head delivers pristine midrange audio with unparalleled realism.
- Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top: The latest iteration of Bowers & Wilkins' renowned tweeter design boasts an elongated form with an extended tube-loading system. This translates to an even more open and airy high-frequency response, ensuring every sonic detail is reproduced with exceptional clarity.
- Reverse Wrap Cabinet: In a departure from conventional speaker design, the 801 D4 features a one-piece curved enclosure. This minimizes cabinet diffraction and improves sound dispersion for a wider, more natural soundstage.
Advanced Technologies for Uncompromised Audio Fidelity
- Matrix: This innovative bracing system utilizes interlocking panels to reinforce the cabinet walls in all directions. The resultant reduction in resonance paves the way for a more believable and immersive sonic experience.
- Biomimetic Suspension: This revolutionary technology represents a significant advancement in midrange cone performance. By minimizing unwanted air pressure coloration, the Biomimetic Suspension delivers a level of midrange transparency previously thought unachievable.
- Continuum cone: This meticulously crafted cone features a composite construction that eliminates abrupt performance transitions common with conventional drive units. The result is a remarkably open and neutral sound that faithfully reproduces both voices and instruments with pinpoint accuracy.
Exquisite Design Meets Unwavering Performance
- Decoupled Midrange Assembly: Every 801 D4 loudspeaker incorporates a dedicated midrange cone that leverages four of Bowers & Wilkins' most transformative technologies. This ensures pristine midrange performance free from interference from the bass drivers.
- Aluminum Top-Plate: The 801 D4 benefits from a significantly upgraded cabinet design featuring a new aluminum top section. This enhances structural rigidity while providing a perfect platform for the luxurious Leather by Connolly detailing.
- Crossover: The sensitive crossover components are housed in a rear-mounted design on a rigid aluminum spine. This not only isolates them from internal air pressure variations but also acts as an efficient heatsink for optimal performance.
- Leather by Connolly: The top section of each speaker is adorned with exquisite, full-grain leather from Connolly. This luxurious touch reflects both the exceptional sound quality and sophisticated design aesthetic of the 801 D4.
The Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 is a masterpiece of acoustic engineering, designed to deliver the ultimate audio experience for the most discerning listener.
