Bowers & Wilkins HTM82 D4 Center Channel Speaker:

Technical Features:

• Diamond tweeter: The speaker utilizes a high-frequency diamond dome tweeter, providing exceptional clarity and accuracy in reproducing high-frequency sounds.
• Solid-body Tweeter-on-Top: The tweeter is mounted on top of a solid body, reducing unwanted resonances and ensuring precise imaging and dispersion.
• Continuum™ cone FST: The midrange driver features a Continuum cone with Focused Sonic Technology (FST), delivering improved clarity, reduced distortion, and enhanced midrange performance.
• Anti-Resonance plug: The speaker incorporates an anti-resonance plug to further minimize unwanted vibrations and resonances, resulting in cleaner sound reproduction.
• Biomimetic Suspension: The speaker’s suspension system is inspired by biological structures, offering improved linearity, reduced distortion, and enhanced dynamic response.
• Matrix™: The speaker cabinet employs Matrix bracing technology, which enhances rigidity and reduces internal resonances, resulting in cleaner and more accurate sound reproduction.
• Aerofoil™ cone bass units: The speaker features two bass units with Aerofoil cone technology, providing deep, controlled bass with minimal distortion.
• Flowport: The speaker incorporates a Flowport, which reduces turbulence and improves bass response, allowing for greater efficiency and smoother airflow.

Description: The speaker is a 3-way vented-box system designed to deliver exceptional audio performance. It features a diamond tweeter, a Continuum cone FST midrange driver, and Aerofoil cone bass units. The cabinet is constructed using Matrix bracing technology to minimize resonances, while the anti-resonance plug further enhances sound quality. The Biomimetic Suspension system ensures improved linearity and dynamic response. With its Flowport design, the speaker offers efficient and extended bass response. It is available in gloss black or white satin finishes, complemented by black or grey grilles, respectively.
