A new model for the 800 Series, the 803D brings diamond dome technology to a less technical looking piece of furniture than the larger ‘headed’ models.
Here the FST™ midrange driver is housed in its own isolated section of the beautifully curved, Matrix™-braced main cabinet, which is kept as narrow as possible in order to optimize the dispersion of sound.
In order to have a similar bass output capability to the wider 802D, the 803D uses three 7” Rohacell® cone bass drivers, this time supplemented by a front-firing Flowport™. Like all of our dedicated bass-only drivers, the basic rigidity of the radiating area is enhanced by our novel ‘mushroom’ construction, a girder-like component that supports the central area of the dustcap.
Although we talk about the three different drive unit types, it is the way these speakers behave as a single whole entity that impresses. It doesn’t matter if the programme is music or film, the naturalness and realism portrayed by these speakers is uncanny.
