An Icon Enhanced
The 606 S3 takes the award-winning formula of its predecessors and elevates it to new heights. By integrating the Continuum cone and Titanium Dome tweeter with upgraded speaker terminals and a subtly modernized design, the 606 S3 becomes even more appealing to music enthusiasts. This enhancement ensures a more refined audio experience, appealing to a broader audience.
Layered, Beautiful Details
The all-new Titanium Dome tweeter in the 606 S3 delivers exceptional resolution and insight. This tweeter provides smooth and refined high-frequency reproduction, resulting in an accurate and immersive listening experience. The detailed sound quality allows listeners to appreciate the intricate layers in their favorite music.
Truly Amazing Sound
The 606 S3 introduces a new, acoustically transparent tweeter grille mesh, initially developed for Bowers & Wilkins' revered Signature models. This innovation, combined with the Titanium Dome tweeter, enhances the resolution and realism of the sound, bringing out the finest details in every track.
Precision and Transparency
The Continuum cone in the 606 S3, with its composite construction, avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior that can impair the performance of conventional drive units. This design ensures a more open and neutral performance, delivering voices and instruments with precision and transparency. The result is a natural and lifelike sound that captivates the listener.
Upgraded Speaker Terminals
The speaker terminals on the 606 S3 are derived from the high-end 700 Series range. These upgraded terminals feature an improved layout and provide a cleaner signal path between your amplifier and loudspeakers. This enhancement contributes to the overall audio fidelity, ensuring a superior listening experience.
