The 802D4 is the penultimate model in Bowers & Wilkins’ legendary 800 Series. Built to similar proportions as the flagship 801D4, the Bowers & Wilkins 802D4 offers much of the performance of its sibling, including the same Turbine™ Head enclosure for its midrange drive unit, yet is more affordable overall.
Each new generation of 800 Series Diamond™ is a landmark event for Bowers & Wilkins. This is their benchmark, their icon; the most advanced range of loudspeakers they know how to make. For Bowers & Wilkins, the 800 Series Diamond is everything they know, and everything they are.
Other loudspeakers merely replay recorded music. 800 Series Diamond makes it. The monitor speaker of choice for recording industry professionals for decades, it has helped artists, composers and studios the world over to create the music and film soundtracks that have shaped a generation.
Bowers & Wilkins’ design always has a purpose. Decades of advanced research into the acoustic and mechanical fundamentals of loudspeaker cabinets have endowed them with a deep understanding of how to make them sound wonderful. And if that same knowledge also inspires beautiful forms, who’s complaining?
Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond
Excellence. Evolved.
802D4
The 802D4 offers much of the performance of 801D4,
including the same Turbine Head enclosure for its
midrange cone, yet is more affordable overall. Perfect for
reference-grade stereo listening and also an excellent
choice in home theatre applications.
Turbine Head
Our all-aluminium Turbine Head is a phenomenally stiff and inert housing for the crucial midrange cone, carefully damped to avoid unwanted resonances and decoupled from both the bass enclosure and the tweeter body. The result? The most realistic midrange sound yet.
Matrix TM
Every model in the new 800 Series Diamond benefits from an upgraded Matrix design. Aluminium reinforced interlocking panels brace the speaker’s cabinet walls in all directions, reducing resonance and creating a more believable soundstage.
