We have not talk much about it, but the “under the hood” design of the M3 is quite intriguing (to me at least).Indeed, the tweeter is at the bottom, and there is this protuberance on the top.Any thoughts? Login to view image Login to view image

Acoustic design of the Beoplay M3

Looks like a BeoLab 8000 driver there!
The 'Eagles Beak' at the top must serve a purpose. I'm sure Geoff Martin will be able to explain.

Impressive sound for such a small cabinet - I picked one up in Denmark with a 25% discount.. might hardwire it in my en-suite bathroom on the wall bracket they have recently released.
The ”Eagle beak” is there to provide sound dispersion for sure.

Compared to the typical acoustic lens it looks like it diffuses the sound. What's the degrees of dispersion compared to the Beolit at 360 degrees?
25%... that’s nice!What do you mean by hardwire? It doesn’t sport Ethernet.I picked one up in Denmark with a 25% discount.. might hardwire it
The M3 has no internal battery. Is the power wire the one you mean?
Yes I meant run the power lead from an adjacent ‘service cupboard’ in my case.
I do believe however that it is possible to hardwire/Ethernet an M3 by using a USB-B micro to rj45 adapter cable. I will look into to this option if I discover drop outs or multi room problems. Given that we are still building the house and presently running cables I’m trying to cover all bases.

Understood Hjort, thanks. Never mind - my router will be located in a service cupboard, directly behind the bathroom wall where the M3 is placed so the wireless connection should be fine, otherwise I’ll replace it with a BS1.
