The B&W DM600 S3 is a compact 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker featuring a bass-reflex enclosure with a rear-firing Flowport to reduce air turbulence and port noise, resulting in cleaner bass. It incorporates a 130 mm (5 inch) woven Kevlar cone woofer and a 25 mm (1 inch) alloy dome tweeter, delivering a frequency response of 55 Hz to 42 kHz ±3 dB. The speaker has a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms and requires an amplifier power between 25 and 100 watts. With a sensitivity of 88 dB (2.83V/1m), it is suitable for a variety of home audio applications, including as an unobtrusive surround speaker or bookshelf speaker. The DM600 S3 is designed to be mounted on a wall, stand, or shelf, and comes with a wall-mounting bracket that spaces it from the wall for cable access and optimal port performance. Its dimensions are 286 mm high, 175 mm wide, and 226 mm deep, weighing 4 kg.
