Bowers & Wilkins Loudspeakers at CEDIA 2004 (1/6/2004)

Loudspeaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) will be showing the complete range of its FPM Series (Flat Panel Monitors). This consists of four models - the FPM-4, FPM-5, FPM-6 and the new FPM-2. These products have been designed with Plasma and LCD displays in mind. Also on show is the new sub woofer - the PV1. Breaking the mould of conventional sub design, the PV1 uses two back-to-back eight inch drive units in a cabinet with no corners or straight lines! The complete range of flush mount products will also be on display including the high-end Signature 8 NT and new dedicated surround model - the CDS-6.

Other B&W barnds on show:

Rotel

Renowned for its multi-channel power amps, electronics manufacturer Rotel will be showing its all new AV line up at CEDIA. The new range consists of the RSX-1056 receiver, RSX-1067 receiver and new mid priced processor pre-amp - the RSP-1068. Using technology previously only available on the flagship RSP-1098 AV processor, these new products all include video up-scaling, the latest Dolby PLIIx pro-logic circuit, RS232 port and 12 volt triggers. Expanding on their DVD range, a new, mid priced DVD Audio player with progressive scan, the RDV-1050 will also be displayed.

Classé

As the global distributor of Classé, B&W is delighted to be showing the new Delta series for the first time in Europe. This new range of high-end audio electronics has been designed from the ground up and demonstrates how breathtaking design can be mixed with the very highest in audio reproduction. Featuring TFT touch panel operation, a remarkably strong, curved chassis design and specifically selected components, this new range of music and cinema products sets new standards of quality in the high-end arena.

i Command

A new brand from the B&W Group, this is the first European showing for i Command - a radical multi-room control system which offers the sophistication of current computer control based platforms without the need for complicated and time consuming programming. Utilising RS-232 protocols, i Command works by assigning an IP address to the equipment which it is connected to, allowing the installer to build a bespoke web page for control. Using either CAT-5 cable or Wireless connections, i Command can be navigated by an in-wall keypad or a PDA/PC tablet. Allowing for easy integration with other products - projectors, lighting etc., i Command is an ideal solution for multi-room installations.
