Bowers & Wilkins Marine 8 Info Sheet

Custom Installation

Marine 8

See nothing, hear everything

The marine environment is unforgiving. Any equipment has to survive extremes of temperature, salt spray and hosing down. It’s little wonder

then that most speakers designed for marine applications sacrice

sound quality for ruggedness.

Of course, any Bowers & Wilkins speaker must sound brilliant. So these

marine speakers were rst designed to match exacting sound quality

standards, then the necessary toughness to survive the harsh marine environment was added. Both models boast IP66 ratings when properly installed, and the metal grille and all screws are marine-grade stainless steel. The driver chassis uses a non-corroding rigid polymer and the tweeter dome has a rear support to prevent permanent deformation when hosed down.

Marine 6 and Marine 8 are super-tough to deal with the most demanding installation environments, with Bowers & Wilkins superior, uncompromising audio quality.
