Bowers & Wilkins, founded in 1966, is one of the world leaders in high-end speaker systems. The sound of its products is distinguished by such stunning dynamics and captivating naturalness that the prestigious 800th “diamond” series rightfully occupies a place today in the famous London recording studio Abbey Road, where the music of the Beatles, Pink Floyd and many other world musicians was recorded. stars Bowers & Wilkins speakers have also been used to create soundtracks for famous films such as Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings.
The success of Bowers & Wilkins is largely based on the most advanced technologies developed in its own research center, which is called the “University of Sound”. Diamond dome tweeters, braided Kevlar midrange cones, Aerofoil composite bass drivers, Nautilus tapered load tubes, FlowPort ports, FST fixed surrounds, Continuum cones and much more are all proprietary inventions of the company's engineers.
Numerous technologies developed at the Bowers & Wilkins “University of Sound” are adopted in the company’s series of speakers of various levels of complexity and cost. Today, the Bowers & Wilkins product line is one of the most comprehensive and versatile in the audio field, with approximately 200 models. Among them: the unique Nautilus speaker system, the flagship 800D series with diamond tweeters, the premium 700 series, the sixth generation of the affordable 600 Series Hi-Fi, sets of compact M-1 speakers and subwoofers for home theaters, as well as built-in acoustics, which in turn, there are five series: the top-end CT800 and CI800, CI700, CI600, CI300. Separate areas are represented by wireless streaming music systems Formation - Duo, Wedge, Bar, Bass, Flex and Audio, all-weather outdoor speakers AM-1 and marine acoustic systems Marine, as well as wireless Hi-Fi noise-canceling headphones: PI3, PI4, PX5, PX7.
In addition, Bowers & Wilkins' unique premium car audio systems are found in luxury models from BMW, Mazerati, McLaren and Volvo.
For more than 50 years, the company has received numerous awards from leading audio-video publications and associations, and has also earned recognition from millions of grateful owners of its speaker systems.
The company's slogan: “Listen and you will see!” Indeed, just one listen to music performed by Bowers & Wilkins loudspeakers will convince you that this is the closest match to the authentic sound of a live concert or recording studio.
For the streaming era, Bowers & Wilkins has created a separate New Media business, with wireless speaker systems that support streaming audio from a wide range of providers.

To achieve this, the new Formation family music systems make the most of advanced technologies, such as Continuum diffusers, Aerofoil composite bass drivers, Nautilus tapered load tubes, FlowPort bass reflex ports, FST fixed suspension, and much more.
An exclusive wireless technology has also been developed to ensure that speakers are perfectly synchronized in the room (less than 1 microsecond misalignment), ensuring the best listening experience. The patented, robust mesh network operates independently of your home Wi-Fi network to ensure high-quality, high-definition audio throughout your home. Stream high-resolution 24-bit/96 kHz audio with twice the quality of leading wireless speaker brands for the purest, most transparent audio experience.

It has both full-size closed and on-ear headphones, as well as TWS-class in-ear headphones – truly wireless models.
Few companies in the world can boast that their products have earned an award from the hands of the Queen of England herself. One of them is the British Bowers & Wilkins, a world leader in the production of Hi-End and Hi-Fi acoustics, which was founded in 1966.
Today, after all these years, Bowers & Wilkins is a leading brand in the field of high-end home speaker systems around the world. In the High End sector, she is without any doubt number 1, and head and shoulders above anyone who claims second place. B&W loudspeaker systems have successfully passed the most difficult and important test to which the market subjects everyone - the test of time.
The company's catalog has many types of speaker systems for different solutions, and the category of custom installations, thanks to which you can get the best solution for multiroom audio or custom home cinema, could not be left out. The model range of built-in acoustics is divided into 3 series: Flexible (CI300), Performance (CI600) and Reference (CI700 S2, CI800 Diamond).
Familiar numbers in the names of speakers only help when choosing the best solution for a cinema hall or multiroom - the quality level of built-in speakers in each series corresponds to a similar series in the line of traditional speakers, and different types of acoustics can be combined, which makes designing the best sound for the home as flexible as possible.
Technologies implemented in traditional speakers are also embodied in the built-in line: Continuum diffusers, Nautilus load tubes, FST surrounds and even Diamond tweeter domes - all these innovative solutions already familiar from traditional B&W speaker systems are also implemented in the built-in, while the speaker system does not take up extra space in the room, and it may not be visible at all!
It is impossible not to mention the special CT cinema series - models of the CT700 and CT800 lines. The best Hi-End home cinemas in the world are built on the acoustics of these series.
Bowers&Wilkins engineers also did not forget about acoustics for special applications, where moisture resistance and immunity to too high or low temperatures are important. If you need to sound a gazebo or patio, then your choice is all-weather AM-1 monitors, and if you need an ultimate solution with certification to the IP66 water and dust protection standard, then the Marine series, which was created specifically for use on yachts, is the best choice.
Innovative high-tech solutions, high sound quality, the trust of audio professionals and flexibility in the selection of installation solutions - all this makes the B&W CI series the No. 1 choice among installers.
