Bowers & Wilkins Mini-Theater Series

In the best movies, everything fits. Actors, dialogue, storyline – it’s when all these separate elements merge effortlessly together that you know you’re in for a great cinematic experience. The same goes for Bowers & Wilkins Mini Theater series. Tucked away on a bookshelf or mounted on stands, these are speakers designed to blend elegantly and unobtrusively into your surroundings. And thanks to some dramatic technological improvements, satellites and subwoofers now integrate so seamlessly that each individual speaker seems to vanish, leaving you with the most immersive, fully formed cinema sound possible. No joins. No gaps. Just pure entertainment.

The sum of the parts

Bass/Midrange

The bass/midrange driver features our Anti-Resonance Plug – an acoustic innovation first seen on our high-end PM1 loudspeaker. Constructed from polymer foam, the mushroom-shaped device soaks up resonance like a sponge while also reducing cone break-up, creating unparalleled clarity and detail in the midrange.

Tweeter

The M-1 tweeter is tube-loaded, a design innovation Bowers & Wilkins first introduced on our groundbreaking Nautilus speaker. The tube works by soaking up unwanted resonance from the back of the tweeter, so the sound you hear from the front is as detailed and precise as possible.

Cabinet

The key to the M-1’s rock-solid sound is its unified, integrated structure: the design coalesces the components and cabinet into a harmonious whole. It all fits together beautifully, with a minimum of noise-inducing seams, joints and discontinuities. The result is a speaker that’s rigid, well-damped and air-tight.

Versatile design

You can put the M-1 on a bookshelf. Or mount it on a wall. Or position it on its own floor stand. It can even swivel to a horizontal position and use one as a centre channel speaker. Available in a choice of Matte Black or Matte White finishes.

Cable Management

In the same way a power cable enters a well-designed table lamp at its base and passes up through the stand, the M-1’s signal cable disappears into the back of the table plinth stand, from where the signal reaches the speaker via a specially-designed, pre-wired arm support.

Subwoofer

The 8-inch driver in the ASW608 is designed for fast, tight and dramatic bass. It is the ideal partner for the M-1 in stereo or surround sound applications.
