Bowers & Wilkins 600 S3 Series - New Generation of Acoustic Systems
Bowers & Wilkins has introduced a new generation of the popular 600 S3 series of speakers, building 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 well-known Hi-Fi lines, receiving the most extensive update in the history of the 600 Series.
Features:
- Type: center channel;
- Frequency response: 42 Hz – 33 kHz;
- Sensitivity: 87 dB;
- Tweeter: 25 mm titanium dome;
- Mid-range/Woofer: 130 mm 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 and over time incorporates 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 improved housing 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 placed 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 space behind the dome and leads to a more open sound that is less affected by the housing in which the tweeter is located. In addition, the new titanium dome is surrounded by a mounting plate, the same as that of the 700 S3 tweeter - to improve sound dispersion, and it 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' signature Continuum diaphragms are still present in the design of the mid-range 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 diaphragms in the floor-standing model 603 S3 are now also equipped with drivers from the 703 S3. The crossovers have also been updated by including high-quality, modernized bypass capacitors like those in the 700 S3 series, providing higher resolution and transparency of sound.
