Bowers & Wilkins Solid Series S100 - Manual (Page 2)

Bass station
● To take solid performance beyond the merely superlative, a dedicated Bass Station has been
developed to match the remarkable efficiency of the Solid loudspeakers. Utilising eight 4in
drive units to achieve almost 92dB sensitivity, the bass reflex port is positioned centrally on
the front of the cabinet. This provides for easy positioning against a wall or in the corner if
maximum bass output is required.
● Frequency response has been shaped to deliver high output performance in 50-100Hz range
with commanding dynamic clarity – or a punch to the stomach.
● The bass station has a designated 2nd order high pass filter crossover developed by some of
the best acoustic engineers in the world.
Solid monitor
● The Solid Monitor is a compact precision instrument of sound. Its depth, power and purity are
a delight to the ear, whilst its look caresses the eye. There are four treats in store. Like bass
reflex loading: over 90dB sensitivity: power handling of up to 150 watts – not to mention
response levels maintained down to a remarkable 70Hz. That’s as low as many of its
competitors go with the aid of a subwoofer.
● The outer is as ingenious as the inner. A multi-radiused, polypropylene two-part cabinet has
been devised to achieve a smoother sound through inherent damping. All in the cause of
majestic output, practically free from distortion up to the highest level.
● The Solid monitor can be mounted at any angle, on walls or ceilings. When fixed to a wall,
bass extension reaches down to 50Hz, even without the help of a subwoofer. Solids can join
forces too. The Solid Array offers the option of multiple ceiling installations using just one
cable.
Ovale
● The Solid Ovale’s sensitivity and sheer sound realism will force you to reconsider the
performance potential of small domestic loudspeakers. It means getting used to amazingly
deep reaching bass and power handling that peaks at 100 watts. It means you can crank
up the volume because the distortion you would normally expect just isn’t there.
● The live atmosphere hits you through the remarkable scope of the Oval stereo image. The live
atmosphere hits you through the remarkable scope of the Ovale stereo image. Equipped with
its own overload protection, the Solid Ovale brings you the bass; the breadth of frequency,
the power and dynamic range of hi-fi performance that you thought was out of reach.
● Versatility is the key to the Oval Satellites. The compact injection moulded ABS cabinet is
positioned on a straight-stalk antenna that enables you to angle the speaker in any direction.
3670 degrees of movement to enable you arrive at the optimum listening position for a
particular room.
