Bowers & Wilkins' DS3 2-Way Selectable Dipole/Monopole Surround Speaker is a wall-mountable solution for the high-quality effect of a booming auditorium-style sound. It can operate in dipole mode or monopole operation, depending on the type of room and the speaker's needs. Using its 130mm Kevlar cone bass/midrange, the result is a sound quality that's deemed perfect for large home theater installations.

Product Information

The DS3 is a wall-mounted surround speaker that can operate in either dipole or monopole modes, to create an authentic all-enveloping effect of the auditorium in a large space.

For large home theater installations, choose a pair of rear speakers that can get you closer to the true surround sound of the cinema.The DS3 is a wall-mounted surround speaker that can operate in whats called dipole mode, to create an authentic all-enveloping effect of the auditorium in a large space. Or, you may prefer to switch to conventional monopole operation, in which the sound from side or rear is more precisely located and less diffuse. The choice depends on the room conditions, the size of the audience and the kind of material on view.Whichever mode you select, the sound quality is superlative, supplied by a 130mm Kevlar cone bass/midrange, twin midrange/high frequency units and a Nautilus tube-loaded tweeter.
