B&W CWM652 Overview
The B&W CWM652 is a two-way in-wall model, with stellar audio quality. Ideally suited to in-wall music systems, or as the front- or rear-channel speakers in a Bowers & Wilkins home theatre system.
A compact and mighty in-wall speaker that won't take up too much space, the CWM652 is a great addition to any small or discreet home entertainment environment. Its flush-fitting grilles are designed to look sleek against the wall and can be painted to suit your décor, making them a highly versatile speaker for any room.
B&W CWM652 Features
Slightly smaller than its two bigger cousins, the CWM652 still packs a very powerful punch thanks to top-range technologies. Its 130mm (5in) blue Kevlar bass/midrange driver is housed in a die-cast chassis, providing extra rigidity for cleaner, faster bass; it also incorporates a 25mm (1in) Nautilus tube-loaded aluminum dome tweeter, and a three-position high-frequency switch for acoustic fine-tuning. The new B&W QuickDogs fixing system and plug-and-play connection make installation almost effortless.
There are many things that go into making a great-sounding speaker, but one of the most important is the craftsmanship involved in crafting the cabinet. This is where the magic happens, as you can see in this video from B&W’s factory in Worthing.
First, the raw materials are put together on a forming press to form the cabinet shape. They are then covered in a layer of dry glue and heated to harden the panel. The next step is to insert the drivers into their slots and screw them in. Then comes the crossover boards, which are built by hand, tested, and signed off before heading down to the assembly line.
The crossover - a key part of the CWM652's acoustic performance - is a good example of the quality of work that goes into each and every part of the speaker. Its three-position high-frequency switch optimizes the response for superior off-axis sound; a feature that you can rarely find in any other speaker on the market.
Finally, the most impressive feature is how the speaker is made; it's a true labor of love for those at the heart of the operation. Each and every one of the five 800 Series speakers is manufactured on five different presses, allowing the whole production line to be run in parallel. This means that issues can be picked up and resolved before the cabinets even reach the warehouse, meaning no delays and an incredibly fast turnaround.
