An exceptional range of loudspeakers deserves a special launch event. That’s why we revealed the new 800 Series Diamond to the world from inside Studio Two of the world-famous Abbey Road Studios.

The launch of a new 800 Series Diamond is always special. But as the new 800 Series Diamond is the most advanced range of loudspeakers we have ever created, we felt the launch event should reflect this achievement. That’s why we invited guests to meet the new range for the first time at London’s world-famous Abbey Road Studios.

Abbey Road is famous as the source of most of The Beatles recorded output, but it is also where Pink Floyd recorded Dark Side of the Moon and where the likes of Oasis and Adele have made some of their most famous records. Plus, it’s where Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond are put to work, providing engineers and artists with levels of insight into the recordings as they are made that no other speaker range can match.

This was the first time we had ever launched an 800 Series at the iconic studios, even though our loudspeakers have been used at Abbey Road since the original 801 that changed the face of sound reproduction in 1979.

Guests were treated to an evening of sublime entertainment in the iconic Studio Two, with neo-soul singer/songwriter Greentea Peng performing an intimate set of tracks from her sensational debut album Man Made, an album the NME described as a “spellbinding debut steeped in spiritual reflection”.

Guests also interacted with some of the Bowers & Wilkins engineers behind the new 800 Series Diamond, and visited the control room for a crash course in music production.

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.

801 D4

The loudspeaker that sets the standard other high-end designs will be judged by for years to come. Endowed with every new technology the 800 Series Diamond has to offer, the reference-quality 801 D4 is an instant icon.

802 D4

Built to similar proportions as the flagship 801 D4, the 802 D4 offers much of the performance of its sibling, including the same Turbine™ Head enclosure for its midrange drive unit, yet is more affordable overall.

803 D4

Our most compact headed model brings all the technical advantages of a dedicated midrange enclosure – the Turbine™ Head, with its decoupled midrange cone – to a smaller footprint that’s easily accommodated in any home.

804 D4

For listeners who crave the performance of an 800 Series Diamond™ tower speaker but prefer a more conventional aesthetic, the 804 D4 is the perfect choice. Its new cabinet and plinth make it our best-performing 804 yet.

805 D4

The 805 D4 stand-mount loudspeaker is the most compact model in the 800 Series Diamond™ range, but it’s still packed with advanced technologies, including the Diamond dome tweeter and the Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top.

800 Series Experience

Decades in the making

John Bowers wanted the original Model 801 to clearly be superior to anything he had done before: to be the best loudspeaker the world had ever heard. Over the decades that have followed, we’ve constantly evolved his original design, but his passion for perfection continues to inspire us to this day.

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?

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.
