Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 Speaker:

Specifications:

• Diamond tweeter: Incorporates a diamond dome for high-frequency reproduction.
• Solid-body Tweeter-on-Top: Ensures a stable platform for the tweeter, minimizing interference.
• Continuum™ cone FST: Midrange driver featuring a Continuum cone for accurate sound reproduction.
• Anti-Resonance plug: Reduces unwanted vibrations and resonances.
• Biomimetic Suspension Turbine™ Head: Innovative head design inspired by natural suspension systems.
• Matrix™: Internal bracing technology for enhanced cabinet rigidity and reduced resonance.
• Aerofoil™ cone bass units: Dual 10-inch bass drivers with Aerofoil cone technology for deep and powerful bass response.
• Flowport: Bass port design that minimizes turbulence for improved low-frequency performance.

Description: The speaker system utilizes a 3-way vented-box design to deliver exceptional audio performance. It combines advanced technologies, including diamond tweeters, Continuum cones, and Aerofoil cones, to reproduce sound with remarkable accuracy and clarity. The Anti-Resonance plug and Matrix construction further enhance the speaker’s performance by reducing unwanted vibrations and resonances. The Biomimetic Suspension Turbine™ Head ensures precise control and stability of the tweeter. The result is a high-quality audio experience with a wide frequency range from 13Hz to 35kHz.

Drive Units:

• 1x ø25mm (1in) diamond dome high-frequency driver
• 1x ø150mm (6in) Continuum cone FST midrange driver
• 2x ø250mm (10in) Aerofoil cone bass units

Frequency Range: The speaker system offers a frequency range from 13Hz to 35kHz, allowing for the reproduction of both deep bass and high-frequency details.

Frequency Response: The frequency response of the speaker system, measured at the reference axis, is +/-3dB from 15Hz to 28kHz. This ensures accurate and balanced sound reproduction across a wide range of frequencies.

Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the speaker system, measured on-axis at 2.83Vrms at 1m, is 90dB. This indicates that the speakers can produce high volume levels with relatively low input power.

Harmonic Distortion: At 90dB and 1m on-axis, the speaker system exhibits harmonic distortion levels of less than 1% from 30Hz to 20kHz, and less than 0.3% from 100Hz to 20kHz. This ensures clean and distortion-free audio reproduction.

Nominal Impedance: The nominal impedance of the speaker system is 8Ω, with a minimum of 3.0Ω. This impedance rating ensures compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers.

Recommended Amplifier Power: The speaker system can handle amplifier power ranging from 50W to 1000W into 8Ω on an unclipped program. This wide power range allows for flexibility in choosing amplification equipment.

Max. Recommended Cable Impedance: For optimal performance, it is recommended to use cables with a maximum impedance of 0.1Ω.

Dimensions:

• Height: 1221mm (48.07 inches)
• Width: 451mm (17.76 inches)
• Depth: 600mm (23.62 inches)

Net Weight: The speaker system weighs 100.60 kg (221.79 lbs), making it a substantial and solidly built audio component.

Finishes: The speaker system is available in the following finishes:

• Gloss Black Cabinet, Black Grille
• White Satin Cabinet, Grey Grille
