Bowers & Wilkins 704 S3
Bowers & Wilkins 704 S3
The 704 S3 is Bowers & Wilkins’ slimmest floor-standing speaker, yet it packs a mighty punch. Its dual Aerofoil profile woofers provide immense bass extension and dynamics, while its decoupled Continuum-Cone-FST™ driver delivers crystal clear
The basis for high frequencies
The Carbon Dome tweeters were developed specifically for the 700 Series. They offer significant advantages over double-layer tweeters made of aluminum. Its breakup frequency is 47 kHz, which allows for highly precise and detailed sound reproduction.
Truly amazing sound
Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum™ diaphragm prevents abrupt transitions that can affect the performance of conventional drivers. This contributes to a more open, neutral performance, and voices and instruments are reproduced with high precision and transparency.
Clear and pure
Each three-way speaker in the new 700 Series features a dedicated midrange driver based on four key Bowers & Wilkins technologies: Continuum cone, FST™ technology, biomimetic suspension, and midrange decoupling that minimizes noise from the bass drivers.
A triumph of science
The bass diaphragm with Aerofoil™ profile was developed using state-of-the-art computer simulations. With its variable thickness, it provides rigidity and stability at all relevant points. The result is deep, dynamic bass.
