804 D4

Standlautsprecher

This is not just another speaker range. Each new generation of 800 Series Diamond is a landmark event for Bowers & Wilkins. This is our benchmark, our icon; the most advanced range of loudspeakers we know how to make. For us, the 800 Series Diamond is everything we know, and everything we are.

For listeners who prefer a more conventional aesthetic but crave the performance of an 800 Series Diamond loudspeaker, the 804 D4 is the perfect choice. lts new reverse-wrap cabinet follows the proven design principles established by its larger siblings.

When it came to designing the ideal shape for the 800 Series Diamond cabinet, we did a U-turn. Quite literally. Our cabinets are formed from one continuous curve, backed by a spine of solid aluminium, so sound dispersion is improved and cabinet reflection is reduced.

A great speaker needs a rock-solid foundation. The new 804 D4 uses a downwards-firing Flowport™ exiting on to a solid aluminium plinth complete with a steel constrained layer damping sheet, which controls unwanted resonance. lt also has greatly upgraded spikes for maximum stability.
