Generous trade-in promotion available on all models in Bowers & Wilkins’ 800D4 series – contact us for details!

The 803D4 is the most compact ‘headed’ model in Bowers & Wilkins 800D4 Series, bringing all of the technical advantages of a dedicated midrange enclosure to a smaller footprint that’s more easily accommodated in a modern home. Small doesn’t mean compromised, either: 803D4 still bristles with technical innovation throughout.

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?

The full 800D4 series is available for demonstration in our industry-leading facilities with part exchange being welcome.

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.
