801 D4 Signature
Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 Signature, a floor-standing loudspeaker, uses a Diamond Dome tweeter and Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing intended to provide a more open high-frequency presentation. Its rear-mounted crossover assemblies sit on rigid aluminium spines, isolating capacitors from enclosure air pressure while the structure acts as a heatsink.

Refined engineering
The 801 D4 Signature is a developed version of Bowers & Wilkins' most advanced loudspeaker. It combines evolved technology, considered design and distinctive finishes. It is the flagship loudspeaker in the range.
Diamond Dome tweeter
The Diamond Dome tweeter combines low mass with high stiffness and accuracy. Introduced 15 years ago, this tweeter dome technology remains part of the 801 D4 Signature design.
Solid Body Tweeter
The Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing has an elongated form, a longer tube-loading system and a new tweeter grille design. These elements are intended to provide a more open presentation at high frequencies.
Upgraded crossover
The 801 D4 Signature uses upgraded rear-mounted crossover assemblies on rigid aluminium spines. This arrangement isolates the capacitors from air pressure within the enclosure, while the aluminium structure acts as a heatsink during use.
Aluminium top-plate
Each 800 Series Signature model has an upgraded cabinet with an optimised aluminium top section for increased stiffness. It also provides a mounting point for Leather by Connolly cabinet detailing, with full-grain blue leather on Midnight Blue Metallic models and full-grain black leather on California Burl Gloss models.
