An exceptional range of loudspeakers deserves a special launch event. That’s why we revealed the new 800 Series Diamond to the world from inside Studio 2 of the world-famous Abbey Road Studios.

As Official Audio Partner of the Hyundai Mercury Prize, Bowers & Wilkins joined the many more music fans at the prestigious awards show, enjoying live performances from the shortlisted artists as well as having the privilege of being there when Arlo Parks’ Collapsed in Sunbeams was named Mercury Prize Album of the Year.

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We question, we examine, we understand and then we evolve. Learn more about all the technologies that combine to make 800 Series Diamond so special here.

The early history of the world’s best-known and most acclaimed loudspeaker company is a fascinating tale of obsession for the very best – mixed with the occasional stroke of good fortune.

800 Series has always been driven by obsession. Back in 1979, the brief to our engineering team gave them absolute free rein to deliver the very best loudspeaker they could, without any of the usual restrictions.

We celebrate the creative achievement of the shortlisted albums, take a deep dive into the 2021 Hyundai Mercury Prize ‘Albums of the Year’ and talk to the artists behind the albums.
