DM550

Stand-mount/Bookshelf loudspeaker system

Product Summary

●

The tailored two-way closed box design incorporates a 6in bass/midrange driver with a
large magnet assembly thrusting high pressure sound reproduced to precise limits dictated by
the dimensions of small enclosure.

●

A one piece moulding has been used to strengthen the cabinet rigidity between drivers and
front baffle. The metal-domed high frequency unit dictated by CAD allows the simplest of
crossovers to be used. All of which increases cost-effectiveness without impairing linearity.

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.
