Endowed with every new technology the 800 Series Diamond has to offer, the reference-quality Bowers and Wilkins 801 Diamond D4 Speakers are an instant icon. This is the loudspeaker that sets the standard other high-end designs will be judged by for years to come.
40 Years of Excellence
Innovation. The 801 Diamond D4 is defined by it. In each of its incarnations over the decades, 801 has always been the most advanced speaker that we know to make at that point in time, a showcase of all our newest technologies and most original thinking. Small wonder it has become an icon.
Turbine Head
The all-aluminium Turbine Head houses our Continuum midrange cone in a stiff and critically damped enclosure to eliminate unwanted resonances. At the same time, itโs decoupled from both the bass enclosure and the tweeter body of the 801 Diamond D4. The result? The most realistic midrange sound yet.
Biomimetic Suspension
Sometimes, making a big difference takes unconventional thinking. The new Biomimetic Suspension revolutionises midrange performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and colouration that a traditional fabric spider can generate. The result? the 801 Diamond D4 has midrange transparency that you wouldnโt believe.
The Science of Sound
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We question, we examine, we understand, and then we evolve. We use computer modelling to explore and reimagine every aspect of speaker design.
The State of Our Art
The Bowers and Wilkins 801 D4 is our flagship and the most powerful model in the new 800 Series Diamond range. Its no-compromise design includes all our most advanced technologies in their purest, most optimised form alongside crossover components of the highest quality. You want our reference loudspeaker? This is it.
