DM600 S3
Our 600 Series bookshelf monitors are classics
of audio design. Equally suited to five-channel
home cinema - as front or surround speakers -
or two-channel audio, all three feature B&W’s
Nautilus
-derived tweeter tube, a woven
Kevlar
®
mid-range/bass driver and a
Flowport
vent.
Primarily a small surround speaker in
home cinema installations, the DM600 S3
can double as a high-performance compact
hi-fi speaker. A keyhole and two rubber feet
on the back of the unit allow for easy,
rattle-free on-wall mounting.
The more powerful DM601 S3 and DM602
S3 offer stand- or shelf-mounting options.
Following in the footsteps of its larger siblings,
the compact DM601 S3 now also incorporates
internal bracing to reduce cabinet coloration.
The larger DM602 S3 remains, without doubt,
one of the best and most popular two-way
speakers ever produced.
Bookshelf speakers
Leading-edge technology,
robust construction and
elegant design combine
in the outstanding 600
Series 3 bookshelf speakers,
the compact DM600 S3,
DM601 S3 and, seen here,
the larger DM602 S3.
