Bowers & Wilkins has introduced a new generation of the popular 600 S3 speaker series, which draws on three decades of experience in creating a reference standard in the field of affordable yet high-quality acoustic systems. This is the eighth generation of one of the most famous Hi-Fi lines, receiving the most significant update in the history of the Series 600.
Features:
- Type: center channel speaker
- Frequency response: 42 Hz – 33 kHz
- Sensitivity: 87 dB
- Tweeter: 25mm titanium dome
- Woofer/Midrange driver: 130mm Continuum cone
The new titanium dome tweeter has added resolution and refinement to the sound. Bowers & Wilkins designs and manufactures all key components of the speaker systems and gradually introduces innovative technologies. This approach continues in the new models of the series 600 S3, which have many 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 improved speaker enclosures.
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 primary 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.
The longer loading tube lowers the resonance frequency of the cavity behind the dome and results in a more open sound, less affected by the cabinet in which the tweeter is housed. Additionally, the new titanium dome is surrounded by a mounting plate, similar to that of the 700 S3 tweeter, to improve sound dispersion, and has a more open design for 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' signature Continuum drivers are still present in the midrange and woofer 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 floor-standing 603 S3 model are now also equipped with the drive unit from the 703 S3. The crossovers are also updated by incorporating high-quality, modernized bypass capacitors like those in the 700 S3 series, providing higher resolution and transparency in sound.
