Bowers & Wilkins has unveiled 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 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;
- Midrange/Woofer: 130 mm Continuum diaphragm.
The new titanium dome tweeter has added resolution and refinement to the sound. Bowers & Wilkins develops and manufactures all key components of their speaker systems in-house and gradually incorporates 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 characteristics. 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 extremely thin, lightweight, yet 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 space behind the dome and leads to a more open sound that is less influenced by the cabinet in which the tweeter is located. Additionally, the new titanium dome is surrounded by a mounting plate, similar to the one featured on the 700 S3 series tweeter, to improve sound dispersion. It also 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.
The signature Continuum diaphragms from Bowers & Wilkins 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 diaphragms in the floor-standing model 603 S3 are now also equipped with drivers from the 703 S3. The crossovers have also been updated to include high-quality, modernized bypass capacitors similar to those in the 700 S3 series, providing higher resolution and transparency in sound.
