D M 4

S t a n d - m o u n t / B o o k s h e l f l o u d s p e a k e r s y s t e m

Product Summary

The DM4 is a three-unit monitor loudspeaker system that produces high quality results from an incredibly small cabinet, making it perfect for home or small studio where space is at a premium.

Acoustic loading is by a very dense, critically damped enclosure with a small controlling vent to optimise the response between 60 and 120Hz. This also produces considerably reduction in cone excursion from 30 to 60Hz.

Technical highlights

The bass/midrange units come in a critically contoured Bextrene cone configuration. This is laminated in a highly resistant damping compound that ensures linear frequency response to at least an octave above crossover.

The upper mid frequency unit offers wide dispersion from a virtual point source and a 19mm low diaphragm mass plastic dome unit extends frequency response to above 25KHz

Bowers & Wilkins DM4 specifications Technical highlights

DM4 specifications

The Bowers & Wilkins DM4 is a speaker that captures the essence of high-fidelity audio, combining advanced technology with a classic design. This model is part of the esteemed Bowers & Wilkins line, known for delivering exceptional sound quality and craftsmanship.

One of the standout features of the DM4 is its innovative drive unit design. It utilizes a 6.5-inch paper cone bass driver, which is specifically engineered to reproduce low frequencies with remarkable accuracy and depth. This mid-bass driver is complemented by a 1-inch tweeter housed in an acoustically optimized enclosure, ensuring that high frequencies are crisp and clear. The combination of these drive units makes the DM4 ideal for a wide range of music genres, providing a balanced soundstage that immerses listeners in their favorite tracks.

Another significant characteristic of the DM4 is its cabinet construction. Bowers & Wilkins has invested in the rigid yet lightweight design of the cabinet to minimize resonance and unwanted vibrations. This attention to detail ensures that the sound remains pure and unhindered, allowing the speaker to deliver a dynamic audio experience. The cabinet's aesthetic design showcases a timeless appeal, with finishes that blend seamlessly into various interior designs.

The DM4 also employs advanced technologies such as the Nautilus tube loading technology, which enhances the performance of the tweeter by controlling the flow of air. This innovation reduces unwanted distortions and enables the speaker to produce higher frequencies without sacrificing clarity. Additionally, the DM4 incorporates a crossover network that divides audio signals between drivers efficiently, maintaining phase coherence and timing accuracy.

Connectivity is another strong point of the DM4. The speaker is designed to work with a variety of audio setups, making it versatile for both home and studio use. Its compatibility with various amplifiers ensures that enthusiasts can easily integrate the DM4 into their existing systems.

To summarize, the Bowers & Wilkins DM4 stands out as a remarkable speaker that marries technology with design excellence. Its combination of quality drive units, superior cabinet construction, innovative loading technologies, and efficient connectivity options make it a worthy choice for audiophiles. Whether for casual listening or critical studio applications, the DM4 delivers an exceptional auditory experience that is sure to impress.
