Immersive Realism with Cutting-Edge Audio Technology:

The 703 S3 redefines room-filling realism through its innovative Tweeter-on-Top configuration and revolutionary Biomimetic Suspension in the decoupled midrange drive unit, pushing its performance to unparalleled heights.

High-Frequency Excellence:

Within the 700 Series, the 703 S3 introduces the latest generation of the iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing, emphasizing a dedicated space for high frequencies. With an elongated form and an extended tube-loading system, it delivers a distinctive, open sound with a focus on high frequencies. Crafted from a single block of aluminum, the meticulously decoupled housing enhances resilience against resonance, ensuring an exceptional audio experience.

Precision in Detail:

The 703 S3 features Carbon Dome tweeters purpose-built for the 700 Series, surpassing conventional aluminum double dome tweeters. With an extended breakup threshold to 47kHz, they guarantee pinpoint imaging accuracy and remarkable detail.

Truly Remarkable Sound Experience:

The Continuum™ cone, employing composite construction, avoids abrupt transitions in behavior, providing a more open, neutral performance. This design ensures voices and instruments are delivered with precision and transparency, offering a truly remarkable audio experience.

Crystal Clear Audio Performance:

Each three-way loudspeaker in the 700 Series, including the 703 S3, incorporates four key Bowers & Wilkins technologies for the dedicated midrange cone: Continuum cone, FST™, Biomimetic Suspension, and midrange decoupling. This guarantees minimal interference from the loudspeaker's bass drivers, resulting in a crystal-clear audio performance.

Scientific Triumph in Sound Engineering:

Developed through advanced computer modeling techniques, the Aerofoil™ Profile bass cone in the 703 S3 features variable thickness for optimal stiffness and rigidity where needed most. The outcome is a deep and dynamic bass, showcasing a triumph of scientific engineering for an exceptional sound experience.
