Overview
Nothing looks, or sounds, quite like Nautilus. A revolution when it launched and still an icon today. Its ethos informs everything we do. Nautilus comes in three standard colors: midnight blue, black, and silver.
Redefining sound
The long, tapered damping tubes were a revolution, allowing the drive units to work optimally by gently absorbing stray energy.
Shaped by sound
At a glance, you can see Nautilus is no ordinary speaker, and after almost a quarter of a century, it still defines high-end audio.
Setting the standard for the future
The striking spirals and tubes of Nautilus came from Bower & Wilkins' research into making speaker drive units behave as they wanted: this Nautilus Tube technology, for which they won a Queen's Award for Innovation, is now found in almost every speaker they make.
But why the Nautilus tube?
Waning to hear a speaker driver, not its side effects, conventional boxes contain sound from the rear of the driver, but bring up their own problems. Nautilus tapering tubes soak up wayward energy and reduct resonances to the point of insignificance.
