Flagship 800 Series Diamond Centre Speaker

For cinema systems based on the more compact 803 D4 or 804 D4, the HTM82 D4 centre-channel speaker is the perfect solution. Its more compact midrange drive unit is ideally sized to match those of its siblings.

It's A Wrap

The new HTM82 D4 may be the most compact centre-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, the cabinet is 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 in 2015, the Continuum cone midrange driver has swiftly become a fundamental element in every Bowers & Wilkins loudspeaker. With exceptionally low noise, it ensures outstanding resolution without colouration or masking of detail.

Decouple 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.

Biomimetic Suspension

Sometimes, making a big difference takes unconventional thinking. Our new Biomimetic Suspension revolutionises midrange performance by greatly reducing unwanted air pressure and colouration that a traditional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn't believe.

Aerofoil Bass Cone

The Aerofoil bass cone technology remains an outstanding solution to the conundrum of combining low mass and high stiffness in bass cones, thanks to its carbon-like skin and variable-profile foam core. Now with a foam Anti-Resonance Plug for lower distortion and even cleaner bass.

Solid-Body Tweeter-on-Top

The Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing features an elongated form with a longer tube-loaded system and an all-new design of tweeter grille, producing an even more free and open sound for high frequencies.

Diamond Dome Tweeter

One of the most significant accomplishments over the past two decades, the ultra-stiff, supremely accurate Diamond dome tweeter is the perfect combination of low mass, exceptional stiffness and outstanding accuracy. 15 years after Bowers & Wilkins introduced it, the engineering team still haven't found a better tweeter dome technology.
