Wall-mount loudspeaker

This shallow wall-mounted surround speaker completes the Signature solution to audiophile Home Theatre sys-

tems. Finished in matching piano gloss Tiger's Eye veneer, the Signature SCM creates an accurate surround

sound field without unduly imposing on the living space.

The Signature SCM is a compact speaker designed for on-wall mounting, and features a shallow cabinet to

minimise intrusion into the room. Originally conceived for surround applications, the speaker can equally well

be used wherever a shallow profile is desired and magnetic shielding is not an issue. It is supplied with a cus-

tom wall bracket that allows the speaker to be angled in the horizontal plane.

The 2-way design features a Kevlar® cone bass/midrange driver, whose bass performance is extended by

the B&W Flowport™ design. The aluminium alloy dome tweeter, with a response extending well into the ultra-

sonic region, is freely mounted on top of the cabinet to ensure a supremely open sound.

Technical highlights

Tweeter on top: B&W's Tweeter on top technology ensures that the sound

remains focused and time-sensitive and that the stereo-image is presented with

unparalleled three dimensional accuracy.

Kevlar®: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar® for

loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally

created Kevlar® for use in bulletproof vests.

Flowport™: Golf ball aerodynamics theory points the way towards lower

distortion reflex ports. Dimples improve the way the air flows over the surface of

any object. In the case of reflex ports, they offer a significant improvement over

simply flaring the port ends in reducing air flow turbulence at each end of the

port; so you get less chuffing noise and less compression at high sound levels.

Matrix™: The basic construction of nearly all loudspeakers is exactly the same -

panels of wood-based materials, bonded to form a rectangular box. B&W

studied and evaluated how each aspect of cabinet behaviour and the efficiency

of various materials and construction methods affects sound.
