Bring Hollywood Home with the B&W MT-60D Home Theatre 5.1 Speaker Package
Bowers & Wilkins have enjoyed huge success over the last few years with their MT-30 mini theatre speaker system so the arrival of the new MT-60D has been eagerly anticipated and with good reason - this new system is simply awesome.
All Round Performance
The MT-60D Mini Theatre isn’t just an upgrade to the previous series – it’s a completely new system. Every technological component has been designed and built in-house, from the ground up. Inside each Mini Theatre speaker you’ll find new technologies never before seen in previous models – some adapted from pioneering speakers such as the Nautilus, and others custom-made especially for this range.
The MT-60D twins five M-1 speakers with the stunning power and control of a PV1D subwoofer to create immersive surround sound that will keep you gripped, right up until the final frame.
Complete Control
When B&W designed the PV1D compact subwoofer they looked to nature for inspiration and instead of using the usual box design they based it on a bubble; the natural way of containing internal pressures without resorting to corners and edges. In the PV1D, power is maximised while air pressures are dispersed evenly around a rigid, continuous shell, reducing unwanted vibrations to a bare minimum. With the added dimension of a digital platform, the PV1D can be fine-tuned and controlled with more precision than ever.
Sum of its parts
From the inside out, the M-1 was conceived as a unified system. Its design has evolved in a totally integrated way, from the custom-made crossover to the two-piece clamshell cabinet. Now, following a complete technological overhaul, including all-new drive units designed in-house, it sounds better than ever. Dispersion has increased. Imaging is pin-point accurate. Performance is now full range.
Limitless Versatility
The M-1’s versatility allows it to adapt perfectly to any home environment, no matter how awkward the space. You can put an M-1 on a bookshelf. Or mount it on a wall. Or position it on its own floor-length stand. It can swivel to a horizontal position, for when you want to use one as a centre-channel speaker. You can even take your pick of a choice of Matte Black or Matte White finishes.
B&W MT-60D Home Theatre Speaker System
For uncompromising cinema sound that fits easily into your life, look no further than B&W's flagship Mini Theatre system. The MT-60D twins M-1 speakers with the stunning power and control of a PV1D subwoofer to create immersive surround sound that will keep you gripped, right up until the final frame.
Finished To Perfection
The M-1 was always a stylish speaker, but thanks to some subtle design tweaks it’s now looking sleeker and more elegant than ever. The cabinet is now more curvaceous, made of just two perfectly interlocking sections that form one harmonious whole. This integrated structure isn’t just about visual aesthetics – the lack of seams and joins is key to the M-1’s rock-solid sound.

Digital Perfection
The "D" in the name of the PV1D subwoofer stands for digital – an added dimension that brings a new level of enjoyment to your home theatre listening experience. Thanks to its new digital platform, the subwoofer delivers faster, deeper bass. And with a range of EQ options and presets all controlled through a handy OLED display, it's easy to fine-tune your sound to suit your taste and environment.
Infinite Flexibility
The commanding power of the PV1D will turn any movie into a thrilling, highly involving experience. But it can do just the same for your enjoyment of music too. So it's good to know that the PV1D is flexible enough to work happily with a range of different Bowers & Wilkins hi fi speakers, including 2.1 stereo set-ups. Thanks to automatic calibration, integration couldn't be simpler
Discreet Wiring
No-one likes messy cables cluttering up their domestic space. So in the same way as a power cable enters a well-designed table lamp at its base and passes up through the stand, the M-1’s signal cable disappears into the back of the table plinth stand. From here, the signal reaches the speaker via a specially-designed, pre-wired arm support.
Nautilus Tweeter
The M-1’s tweeter is a highly specialised piece of equipment custom-made by the team behind some of our best-known hi-fi speakers. The tweeter is tube-loaded – a design innovation we first introduced on our ground-breaking Nautilus speaker. The tube works by soaking up unwanted resonance from the back of the tweeter, so the sound you hear from the front is as detailed and precise as possible
Anti-Resonance Plug
The redesigned bass/mid-range driver features our Anti-Resonance Plug – an acoustic innovation first seen on our high-end PM1 loudspeaker. Constructed from polymer foam, the mushroom-shaped device soaks up resonance like a sponge while also reducing cone break-up, creating unparalled clarity and detail in the midrange.
