Bowers & Wilkins has introduced a new generation of the popular 600 S3 series of speakers, which builds on three decades of experience in creating a reference standard in the field of affordable yet high-quality audio systems. This is the eighth generation of one of the most famous Hi-Fi lineups, receiving the most extensive update in the history of the 600 Series.
Features:
- Type: bookshelf speaker system;
- Speaker type: dynamic;
- Acoustic radiation: monopolar;
- Frequency response: 52 Hz - 28 kHz;
- Sensitivity: 88 dB;
- Tweeter: 25 mm titanium dome;
- Mid / Bass driver: 165 mm Continuum diaphragm.
The new titanium dome tweeter has added resolution and refinement to the sound. Bowers & Wilkins designs and manufactures all the key components of speaker systems and gradually introduces innovative technologies. This approach is continued in the new models of the 600 S3 series, which feature numerous improvements in all aspects of their acoustic performance. Many of the new components are borrowed from the 700 S3 series and integrated into the redesigned and enhanced cabinet construction.
The most significant innovation in the 600 S3 series is the titanium dome tweeter technology. Its design consists of two parts, with an ultra-thin, lightweight, but rigid main dome 25 microns thick, reinforced by a second titanium ring 30 microns thick. This dual dome is housed in a significantly elongated loading tube system, the design of which is inspired by the recently introduced 700 S3 series.
A longer loading tube lowers the resonance frequency of the cavity behind the dome, resulting in a more open sound that is less affected by the cabinet containing the tweeter. In addition, the new titanium dome is surrounded by a mounting plate similar to that of the 700 S3 series tweeter - to improve sound dispersion, and also has a more open design of the tweeter grille, borrowed from the recently introduced 800 Signature series. This combination of new technologies ensures that the tweeter delivers smoother and more refined sound without compromising resolution or detail.
Bowers & Wilkins' trademark Continuum diaphragms are still present in the midrange and mid / bass drivers of the new 600 S3 series, with the addition of more powerful magnet systems from the 700 S3 series with low distortion levels. The low-frequency drivers with paper diaphragms in the floor-standing model 603 S3 are now also equipped with the drive unit from the 703 S3. The crossovers have also been updated by including high-quality, modernized bypass capacitors like the 700 S3 series, providing higher resolution and transparency of sound.
