Sta nd - mount/Bookshelf loudspeaker syst em

Product Summary

Braced cabinet construction dramatically reduces cabinet resonance by adding the twin

virtues of strength and rigidity to the cabinet walls. Gold-plated terminals permit bi-wiring

or bi-amplification.

Having the tweeter separate from the main cabinet readily allows it to be set back and

time aligned with the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, which is located behind

the plane of the front baffle, and minimises the effects of diffraction from the cabinet edges.

This results in improved imaging and coherence.

Technical highlights

B&W's Tweeter on top technology ensures that the sound remains focused

and time-sensitive and that the stereo image is presented with unparalleled

three dimensional accuracy.

Kevlar®: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar® for

loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally

created Kevlar® for use in bulletproof vests.
