Bowers & Wilkins HTM82 D4 – Center Channel Speaker
800 Series Diamond: Excellence. Evolved.
This is not just another speaker range. Each new generation of 800 Series Diamond is a landmark event for Bowers & Wilkins. This is our benchmark, our icon; the most advanced range of loudspeakers we know how to make. For us, the 800 Series Diamond is everything we know, and everything we are.
For theater systems based on the more compact 803 D4 or 804 D4, the HTM82 D4 center-channel speaker is the perfect solution. Its more compact midrange drive unit is ideally sized to match those of its siblings. *Stand(s) not included.
A legacy like no other
Other speakers merely replay recorded music. 800 Series Diamond makes it. The speaker of choice for recording industry professionals for decades, it has helped artists and studios the world over to create the music and film soundtracks that have shaped a generation.
Form meets function
Our design always has a purpose. Decades of cutting-edge research into loudspeaker design have given us a deep understanding of how to make them sound wonderful. And if that same knowledge also inspires beautiful forms wrapped in a range of four luxurious finishes, who’s complaining?
It’s a Wrap
The new HTM82 D4 may be our most compact center-channel speaker, but it shares the design DNA of its larger siblings, including the Reverse Wrap cabinet and Matrix™ bracing. The combination of the two technologies ensures a quieter, more acoustically efficient and better-sounding speaker than ever.
Reverse Wrap cabinet
Instead of a conventional loudspeaker box, our cabinets are made from a continuous curved section of wood, with the drive units mounted at the heart of the curvature. This stiffer, more inert structure resists mechanical resonances far better and also ensures better dispersion of sound.
Continuum™ cone midrange
Introduced as a huge evolutionary change for us in 2015, the Continuum cone midrange drive has swiftly become a fundamental element in every Bowers & Wilkins loudspeaker. With exceptionally low noise, it ensures outstanding resolution without coloration or masking of detail.
Decoupled midrange assembly
HTM82 D4 has a dedicated midrange cone using three key Bowers & Wilkins technologies: the Continuum cone, Biomimetic Suspension and midrange decoupling, the latter ensuring minimal interference from the operation of the loudspeaker’s bass drivers. The result is outstanding clarity.
The science of sound
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We question, we examine, we understand and then we evolve. We use computer modelling to explore and reimagine every aspect of loudspeaker design. Learn more about all the technologies that combine to make 800 Series Diamond™ so special here.
