Description
The absolute reference of the 800 Diamond Series
The Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 is the flagship model of the renowned 800 Diamond Series, designed to deliver uncompromising performance in hi-fi and professional studio environments. Used as a reference in numerous recording studios around the world, this tower represents the most advanced expression of the B&W design philosophy.
Thanks to the use of proprietary engineering solutions such as the Diamond Dome tweeter , the Continuum™ FST™ midrange and the internally braced Matrix™ structure, the 801 D4 guarantees extremely precise, dynamic and natural sound reproduction.
It is the ideal speaker for large spaces and for top-level amplification systems, where every musical detail must emerge with absolute realism.
3-way architecture with Turbine Head and Aerofoil™ woofer
The 801 D4 features a 3-way bass-reflex configuration with a Reverse Wrap cabinet stiffened and reinforced by an aluminum structure. The midrange is housed in the renowned solid aluminum Turbine Head™ , completely decoupled to eliminate vibrations and interference from the rest of the cabinet.
The 25mm Diamond tweeter is mounted in a solid billet aluminium body, while the low range is entrusted to two large 250mm Aerofoil™ woofers, designed to offer depth, control and speed even at high volumes.
The result is a wide, three-dimensional soundstage, with deep, articulated bass, incredibly transparent mids, and extended, refined high frequencies.
