Bowers & Wilkins DM14 - Manual

DM14
Floor-standing loudspeaker system
Product Summary
● The DM14 is one of a series of new loudspeakers which together form the B&W DM range for
the eighties. The design brief for the entire range was to benefit from the most sophisticated high
technology tools.
● The DM14 follows the frequency linearity, freedom from all forms of distortion and colouration
must be to monitor standard, and that the model should be fitted with audio powered overload
protection.
Technical highlights
● The driver configuration chosen consists of two 150mm bass/midrange drivers operating in a
totally sealed enclosure, designed so as to ensure a low Q, well damped third order high
pass characteristic.
● The HF section utilises the TW26 high frequency transducer. All the DM 14 drivers are over
engineered so work totally within their limits of power output, frequency response and
dispersion.
● The DM14 employs acoustic suspension rear loading for the bass/midrange drivers. The
sealed enclosure is constructed of 12mm high-density particle board, laminated with 6mm
bituminous pads, and a 19mm meditle front baffle assembly.
