Description
Bowers & Wilkins has introduced a new generation of the popular 600 S3 speaker series, building on three decades of experience in creating a reference standard for affordable yet high-quality acoustic systems. This is the eighth generation of one of the most well-known Hi-Fi lines, receiving the most extensive update in the history of the 600 Series.
Features:
- Type: bookshelf speaker system;
- Driver type: dynamic;
- Acoustic output: monopole;
- Frequency response: 52 Hz - 28 kHz;
- Sensitivity: 88 dB;
- Tweeter: 25mm titanium dome;
- Mid/Bass driver: 165mm Continuum diaphragm.
The new titanium dome tweeter adds resolution and refinement to the sound. Bowers & Wilkins designs and manufactures all key components of their speaker systems, gradually introducing innovative technologies over time. This approach is continued in the new models of the 600 S3 series, which feature numerous enhancements in all aspects of their acoustic characteristics. Many of the new components are borrowed from the 700 S3 series and integrated into the redesigned and improved 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 extremely thin, light, yet rigid main dome 25 microns thick, reinforced by a second titanium ring 30 microns thick. This double dome is housed in a significantly elongated loading tube system, inspired by the recently introduced 700 S3 series.
The longer loading tube lowers the resonance frequency of the cavity behind the dome and leads to a more open sound, less affected by the cabinet housing the tweeter. Additionally, the new titanium dome is surrounded by a mounting plate, similar to the one in the 700 S3 tweeter, to improve sound dispersion, and has a more open tweeter grille design, 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' signature Continuum diaphragms are still present in the design of the midrange and mid/bass drivers of the new 600 S3 series, with the addition of more powerful magnetic systems from the 700 S3 series with low distortion levels. The low-frequency drivers with paper diaphragms in the floorstanding model 603 S3 are now also equipped with the drive unit from the 703 S3. Crossovers have also been updated by including high-quality, modernized bypass capacitors like those found in the 700 S3 series, providing higher resolution and transparency of sound.
Package includes:
