The 805D4 stand-mount loudspeaker is the most compact model in Bowers & Wilkins’ 800 Series Diamond™ range, but it’s still packed with advanced technologies, including the Diamond dome tweeter and the Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top.
The 805D4 is the entry-level model in the latest 800D4 series: each new generation of 800 Series Diamond™ is heralded as 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.
Excellence. Evolved.
805D4
The 805 D4 stand-mount loudspeaker is the most compact model in Bowers & Wilkins’ 800 Series Diamond range, but it’s still packed with advanced technologies, including that allimportant Diamond dome tweeter and Solid Body Tweeteron-Top. It’s proof positive that small can still be beautiful.
Bowers & Wilkins’ iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing features an elongated form with a longer tube-loading system, creating an even more free and open sound with high frequencies. As before, the carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminium to better resist resonance.
All stereo models in the new range now use rear-mounted crossover designs mounted on stiff aluminium spines. This isolates the sensitive capacitors from the effects of air pressure within the enclosure.
