B&W DM3

Commentary

A speaker system designed and developed in an affordable size to enable outstanding playback in ordinary homes.

A 34x20.5 cm elliptical cone woofer is installed in the low range.
This unit is the same as that of the P2/H monitor and uses a sandwiched cone paper laminated with characteristic glass fibers.

A dome type tweeter is installed in the high range.
This unit is the same as the one used the BBC monitor and uses a very large magnet.

A dome type super tweeter is installed in the super high frequency range.
This unit has a playback band from 14 kHz to 25 kHz, has excellent transient characteristics and achieves high-frequency playback above the audible range, and is treated to prevent sudden high-frequency attenuation due to the mass of the diaphragm that occurs in this type of unit.

A polyester dielectric is used for the capacitor in the network section.

The enclosure uses a 25 mm thick hard veneer material and has a walnut finish on the exterior.

Level control is mounted on the input terminal on the rear.
The knob on the right side can sharply attenuate high frequencies above 14 kHz. It was recommended to turn it off for normal Hi-Fi playback and turn it on for professional use.
The left knob allows you to increase or decrease the treble level by + / - 2.5 dB from the nominal value.
