Product Summary
●

design, for use with B&W purpose-made accessories but will also incorporate well into existing
furniture.
●
The DM2 MK2 offers a wide horizontal dispersion and excellent vertical dispersion within a
listening window of approximately 10° in the vertical plane and 40° in the horizontal.
●
To take maximum advantage of this of this important design feature, the loudspeaker must be
mounted vertically and located at the correct listening height or angled slightly to project the
window in an upward direction.
