General
Don't be fooled by these practical and compact desktop speakers. Bowers & Wilkins have done all in their power to let these two compact speakers produce a maximum amount of noise! They are the ideal companions for on your desktop. What’s so special about this MM-1 set is the built-in USB audio interface, which takes the task of audio processing out of your computer's hands.
Technical details of the MM-1 desktop speakers
The MM-1 speakers aren't just your standard desktop speakers. Usually, desktop speakers of this size and price produce a sound that misses out on low frequencies. Bowers & Wilkins don´t adhere to such low standards. They use top quality components with Hi-Fi characteristics and they have tweaked these to such a degree, that they also perform in near field applications. Four amplifier modules of 18 watts a piece provide power for the two woofers and two tweeters. The 3-inch woofer takes care of the middle and low frequencies, while the tweeter provides the highs. Furthermore, an internal DSP processor circuit is featured, as well as a high-quality DAC that is connected to your computer via USB. This way, the (often quite plain) on-board sound card of your computer is circumvented and digital signals are converted by the MM-1. The result is an excellent sound quality, whereby frequencies between 38 and 22,000 Hz are optimally reproduced and in a highly balanced fashion.
Design and construction of the MM-1 speaker set
The MM-1 speakers are developed in adherence to the standards of Bowers & Wilkins. They need to look neat, representative and really display quality! The sound is brilliant as well! With the accessory remote control you have optimal control over both speakers, no matter how far away from you they are. Thanks to the USB connection, data communication with your computer is made possible, so that you can pause tracks or browse through a playlist.
