Bowers&Wilkins Floorstanding Speaker 804 D4 WHITE

For listeners who crave the performance of an 800 Series Diamond loudspeaker but prefer a more conventional aesthetic, the 804 D4 is the perfect choice. Its new reverse-wrap cabinet follows the proven design principles established by its larger siblings and its new plinth ensures rock-solid, accurate bass response too.

Reverse Wrap cabinet

Instead of a flat-fronted speaker with a curving back, Bowers & Wilkins' cabinets are formed from one continuous curve, held together with a spine of solid aluminum. Fewer joins make for a stiffer, more inert structure and a curved front means less baffling around the drive units. So sound dispersion is improved, and cabinet reflection is reduced.

Biomimetic Suspension

Sometimes, making a big difference takes unconventional thinking. For decades, Bowers & Wilkins thought nothing could improve on the sound of their famous yellow Aramid Fibre midrange cones, but eventually, the Continuum cone technology changed their minds. Now, Bowers & Wilkins has turned their attention to another crucial element in a loudspeaker cone: the fabric spider. The all-new Biomimetic Suspension revolutionizes midrange cone performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and coloration that a conventional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn’t believe possible.

Continuum cone™

Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum™ cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. The result is a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.

Decoupled Midrange assembly

Every 800 Series Diamond loudspeaker aside from the stand-mount 805 D4 has a dedicated midrange cone using four key Bowers & Wilkins technologies: the Continuum cone, FST™, Biomimetic Suspension and midrange decoupling, the latter ensuring minimal interference from the operation of the loudspeaker’s bass drivers.

Aluminum top-plate

Every stereo model in the new 800 Series Diamond range has a significantly upgraded cabinet design with an all-new aluminum top section for even greater stiffness. The same design also provides a perfect mounting point for all-new Leather by Connolly cabinet detailing, with luxurious black leather for dark cabinets and light grey for lighter finishes.

Crossover

All stereo models in the new 800 Series Diamond range now use rear-mounted crossover designs mounted on stiff aluminum spines. This isolates the sensitive capacitors from the unwanted effects of air pressure within the enclosure and makes for a very effective heatsink to ensure optimum performance when in use.

Leather by Connolly

The top section of every stereo model features an aluminum top plate, covered in all-new Leather by Connolly trim. Bowers & Wilkins uses luxurious, full-grain black leather for Gloss Black and Satin Rosenut finishes, and a light grey leather for White and Satin Walnut.
