MATRIX
802 Series 2
Floor-standing loudspeaker system
Product Summary
The B&W Matrix 802 Series 2 loudspeaker system incorporates all the high standards of design
technology, fine engineering and production methods found in the professional Matrix 801 Series 2
Matrix technology reduces the coloration so frequently associated with box-type loudspeakers. (Any
radiation from the enclosure will add its own character to the relatively neutral and uncoloured sound of
the drive units)
The Matrix improves the detail and depth in the stereo image due to the reduced amount of rear
sideways radiation, which, when reflected back to the listener confuses the image.
Technical highlights
●    
Tweeter on top: B&W's Tweeter on top technology ensures that the 
sound remains focused and time-sensitive and that the stereo-image is 
presented with unparalleled three dimensional accuracy. 
Kevlar®: B&W developed and patented the method of using 
Kevlar® for loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. 
DuPont originally created Kevlar® for use in bulletproof vests. 
Matrix: The basic construction of nearly all loudspeakers is exactly the same - 
panels of wood-based materials, bonded to form a rectangular box. 
B&W studied and evaluated how each aspect of cabinet behaviour and the 
efficiency of various materials and construction methods affects sound.
