Bowers and Wilkins DM-580 Brochure

DM580

Floor-standing loudspeaker system

Product Summary

●

The DM580 is a prodigious floor-standing three-way system in the finest B&W tradition,
covering the entire frequency range and offering critical enjoyment over the whole spectrum of
musical experience.

●

The rear vented enclosure has been precisely tuned to intergrate with the drive units and
simplified crossover. Matrix technology has influenced the critical bracing of the enclosure
which is further strengthened by separate mounting the tweeter, bass/midrange and bass units.

Technical highlights

●

B&W's Tweeter technology ensures that the sound remains focused and time sensitive and that
the stereo image is presented with unparalleled three dimensional accuracy.

●

The cabinets feature a specially designed high density front baffle which achieves almost
Matrix-like stability in strengthening overall enclosure construction. The bevel edges of the front
moulding reduce diffraction and improve dispersion.

●

The crossover components use heavy gauge wire throughout and new drivers guarantee not
only high reliability but ensure that top specifications are met.
