DM602 S2

Sta nd - mount/Bookshelf loudspeaker syst em

Product Summary

The DM602 S2 is a 2-way vented-box system with a woven Kevlar® cone bass/mid

driver which virtually eliminates distortions caused by radial waves travelling back and forth

along the cone. The aluminium dome tweeter produces amazing open sound.

The high quality cabinets are attractively finished in a choice of Black Ash or Cherry vinyl

In common with all other models the grey baffle, moulded in mica-filled polypropylene,

forms a second layer to the wooden baffle adding stiffness and damping.

A review from What Hi-Fi (July 1999) underpinned our belief in the speaker with comments

including, "providing a fantastic level of refinement in a medium sized box and having

enough bass weight and control to satisfy those into rock and dance. Great all-rounders

and an excellent buy”.

Technical highlights

Nautilus™ Tweeter: B&W's Nautilus Tweeter 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.
