802 FS
Floor-standing loudspeaker system
Product Summary
Sheer size dictates that not many homes can accommodate a professional monitor system.
But many a music aspires to enjoy, at home, the new era of enhanced listening pleasure such
a system opens up.
The 802FS has conceived as a domestic monitor directly related to the 801FS professional
system, but with significant differences tailored to the home listener's needs.
Technical highlights
The midrange head assembly incorporates Fibrecrete (glass reinforced concrete) a B&W
innovation. The secret is that the outer casing of this component is moulded from rigid
polystyrene while the inner lining is Fibrecrete.
The Environmental controls located on the back of the midrange head assembly are specially
developed by B&W. These controls enable the user to make the subtlest of adjustments,
compensating for such factors as peculiarities of listening room conditions and the unusual
balance that sometimes occur in digital recording.
The superb high frequency driver has a motor diaphragm assembly which operates as a
diminishing-size sound source as frequency increases. This advanced technique results in
vastly superior high-frequency dispersion, high power handling capacity and a new order of
transient behaviour in the 8Hz to 20kHz region.
