Bowers & Wilkins Mini Theatre 5.1 Satellite System

Bowers & Wilkins Mini Theatre 5.1 Satellite System

In the best movies, everything fits. Actors, dialogue, story line - it's when all these separate elements merge effortlessly together that you know you’re in for a great cinematic experience. The same goes for Bowers & Wilkins' Mini Theatre series.

Sleek, compact, yet packing a powerful punch, the M-1 satellite speaker is the backbone of Bowers & Wilkins' Mini Theatre system, taking all five positions in a surround-sound set-up. From the inside out, the M-1 was conceived as a unified system. Its design has evolved in a totally integrated way, from the custom-made crossover to the two-piece clamshell cabinet.

Taking on the roll of sub duty are one of three subwoofer options. From the size-defying compact cabinet of the ASW608 with an 8" driver and 200 watts of power, the larger bodied 10" ASW610, all the way to the striking looks (and sound!) of the PV1D. A unique take on subwoofer design from Bowers & Wilkins, the PV1D features 400 watts of power from two opposed 8" drivers in a highly ridgid almost spherical design.

Inspired by Nautilus™

The M-1's tweeter is no off the peg model - it’s a highly specialised piece of equipment custom-made by the same designers and engineers who created some of Bowers & Wilkins' best-known hi-fi speakers, including the CM Series.

As well as featuring a unique surround material, the tweeter is tube-loaded, a design innovation Bowers & Wilkins first introduced on their groundbreaking Nautilus speaker. The tube works by soaking up unwanted resonance from the back of the tweeter, so the sound you hear from the front is as detailed and precise as possible.





 

Unparalleled Clarity

The redesigned bass/midrange driver features Bowers & Wilkins' AntiResonance Plug - an acoustic innovation first seen on their high-end PM1 loudspeaker. Constructed from polymer foam, the mushroom-shaped device soaks up resonance like a sponge while also reducing cone break-up, creating unparalleled clarity and detail in the midrange.

More bass, less shake

Along with its incredibly rigid enclosure, the PV1D uses twin bass drivers that are horizontally-opposed, working back-to-back. This more effectively spreads the bass frequencies in the room and also means that the whole assembly is self-damping, keeping it stable and inert no matter how hard you drive it.
