DM1800
Stand-mount/Bookshelf loudspeaker system
Product Summary
The DM 1800’s are further triumphs for B&W’s research and development centre – generally
regarded as one of the most advanced development centres in Europe.
The new metal – domed high frequency unit uses the same diaphragm as the professional
model Matrix 801. The Bass/midrange driver are of a totally new design, and the specially
formulated plastic compound used for the cone makes several distinct contributions to
performance
The increased cabinet performance goes a step further with a more powerful bass/midrange
unit producing superb attack and transient performance.
There is an optional, purpose-designed stand.

B&W’s ability to reduce the number of crossover network components to an
absolute minimum means that the signal has a more direct path to the drivers –
an advantage which produces a cleaner, more linear performance. B&W’s
patented APOC Circuit protects both systems against excessive overload.
The enclosures have matched the design simplicity with the beauty of real wood
veneers. Their high density, bevel wedged front baffles are more than just
visually pleasing – the bevel actually helps to reproduce diffraction and so
improve dispersion.
