Bowers & Wilkins has announced three additions to its range of custom installation speakers. The new CCM Cinema 7 in-ceiling speaker and CWM Cinema 7 in-wall speaker offer high performance thanks to the application of Bowers &Wilkins core acoustic technologies, while the new CCM632 offers discreet musical fidelity with new fixings making installation quicker and easier than ever before.

CCM Cinema 7 is designed for down-firing, in-ceiling left, centre and right speaker positions in a discreet home cinema system. It boasts two drivers: a 180mm bass/midrange Kevlar cone and a 25mm Nautilus swirl loaded aluminium dome tweeter.

Both drivers are angled to the mounting surface and can be directed towards listeners so they hear the correct balance of sound. That way, dialogue is crystal clear and special effects come across accurately.

CWM Cinema 7 in-wall 2.5-way speaker does the job of three home cinema speakers – front left, centre and front right – yet is incredibly discreet. It can be mounted beside, above or below the screen, ensuring crystal-clear dialogue and dramatic special effects.

Both Cinema 7 speakers feature ultra-narrow bezels and magnetically attached metal grilles which can be customised to complement décor. CCM Cinema 7 is supplied with a round grille but this can be replaced with square.

Both Cinema 7 speakers are installed in the ceiling or wall using Bowers & Wilkins QuickDogs fixings – spring clamps that rotate and clip into place, so you can fit the speaker frames securely, tool-free, with one hand. As well as being quick and simple, they can also cope with almost any thickness of mounting panel.

The new CCM632 is ideal if you want the musical fidelity of a hi-fi speaker but the near-invisibility of an in-ceiling speaker. Its full range 75mm driver elegantly sidesteps a common problem with custom install speakers: small drivers don’t offer enough bass but two-way speakers with a tweeter positioned in front of a bass/midrange driver lead to sound discolouration. The result is a beautiful, balanced and clean sound.

CCM632 is supplied in stereo pairs and comes with both round and square grille/bezel assemblies that attach magnetically.

CCM632 is also the first speaker to feature Bowers & Wilkins new ZipDogs fixings. These are similar to QuickDogs but they’re quickly fastened from the front with three cable ties. This lets you install the speaker without putting your hand through the mounting hole. This is perfect for CCM632 because it has an integral enclosure designed to minimise acoustic bleed into adjoining spaces

According to Geoff Matthews, CEO of sole Australian distributor Convoy International, “These innovative new models are welcome additions to the market-leading Bowers & Wilkins CI speaker range. Offering the perfect combination of superb design, high sound quality and easy installation. B&W’s CI Series is a justifiable first choice with customers and installers alike.”
