Bowers & Wilkins introduces the new generation of the popular 600 S3 series of speakers, drawing on three decades of experience in setting the reference standard for affordable yet high-quality audio systems. This is the eighth generation of one of the most well-known Hi-Fi lineups, receiving the most extensive update in the history of the 600 Series.
Features:
- Type: bookshelf speaker system;
- Driver type: dynamic;
- Acoustic radiation: monopolar;
- Frequency response: 52 Hz - 28 kHz;
- Sensitivity: 84 dB;
- Tweeter: 25 mm titanium dome;
- Midrange/Woofer: 130 mm Continuum cone.
The new tweeter with a titanium dome has added resolution and refinement to the sound. Bowers & Wilkins designs and manufactures all key components of their speaker systems and gradually introduces innovative technologies. This approach continues in the new models of the 600 S3 series, which feature numerous improvements 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 enhanced enclosure 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, yet rigid main dome 25 microns thick, supported by a second titanium ring 30 microns thick. This dual 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 space behind the dome, resulting in a more open sound less influenced by the enclosure housing the tweeter. Additionally, the new titanium dome is surrounded by a mounting plate just like the tweeter in the 700 S3 series - to improve sound dispersion, and it features a more open design grille borrowed from the recently introduced 800 Signature series. This combination of new technologies ensures that the tweeter delivers smoother and refined sound without compromising resolution or detail.
Bowers & Wilkins' signature Continuum cones 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 cones in the floorstanding 603 S3 model are now also equipped with drivers from the 703 S3. Crossovers are also updated with high-quality, modernized bypass capacitors like those in the 700 S3 series, providing higher resolution and transparency of sound.
