B&W DS6 DATASHEET

D S™6

Dipole surround loudspeaker system

Product Summary

●

The DS6 THX® Dipole is a dedicated Home Cinema monitor created by B&W for creating
optimum surround sound effects. The most important difference between this monitor and a
standard rear channel speaker is the diffuse nature of its sound. This is achieved by placing
80mm (3in) mid-range and high-frequency drivers on opposing axes with opposite polarity.
The effect is to non-localise the sound - the sound you hear won't appear to come from the
monitors but rather from the listening environment.

Technical highlights

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.
