Bowers & Wilkins Matrix 805 – Precision Studio Monitor
The B&W Matrix 805 is a reference bookshelf speaker that inherits all the experience Bowers & Wilkins has gained over 15 years of designing the legendary B&W 801 model . Designed to deliver extremely precise and natural sound, the Matrix 805 has been widely used in recording studios for near-field monitoring thanks to its exceptional sonic neutrality and innovative cabinet construction technology.
Key Features:
- Cabinet with "Matrix" technology:
- Internal honeycomb structure with interconnected perforated sheets to dramatically reduce unwanted resonances and vibrations.
- More solid than a concrete construction, ensuring a pure and colorless sound.
- Sixth-order alignment technology, designed for use with the B&W Bass Alignment filter, which improves bass extension and control over traditional fourth-order systems.
- Installation versatility: Available in vertical version (Matrix 805V) with upper tweeter and in the horizontal version (Matrix 805 H) with side tweeter, ideal for use on bookshelves and monitoring in mixing consoles.
