B&W CWM8.5 D Overview
For pristine high-frequency sound, the Diamond dome tweeter is decoupled from the speaker body and backed up by an exceptionally stiff and light Diamond diaphragm that reduces unwanted vibrations and delivers pure, distortion-free treble. In addition, the range's only three-way in-wall speaker uses ultra-light yet exceptionally stiff low-frequency Aerofoil drivers for incredible bass performance.
Other components of the CI800 Series Diamond range include B&W's Matrix bracing system to ensure the speakers remain rigid, as well as bi-wirable cables that are guided to the terminal panel through tubes and connected to the baffle with multi-pin connectors. All of these elements have been designed to enable dealers to easily upgrade their clients' audio systems by replacing existing in-ceiling speakers.
B&W CWM8.5 D Features
The CWM8.5 D in-ceiling loudspeaker is available with a specially designed back box that has been engineered to improve the overall sound quality of the speakers and enhance their stability. It's a useful accessory for music and home theatre applications, as it helps to ensure the speaker is properly protected from changes in temperature and humidity, which can have an impact on performance.
Designed for use with the CWM8.5 D in-ceiling speaker, this back box is a simple-to-install accessory that can be completed by a DIY enthusiast or professional. The back box is made to blend in with the ceiling, and it comes with all the necessary hardware and installation instructions.
The CI800 Series Diamond in-wall loudspeaker line from Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) is a product designed to offer homeowners a premium sound experience that's virtually unseen. Using the company's famous Diamond dome tweeters, along with Continuum and Aerofoil midrange drivers, the CI800 series has been developed to deliver great performance for customers who are looking for discreetly installed speakers that aren't going to interfere with their decor or lifestyle.
Three models in the CI800 Series Diamond feature the same decoupled Diamond dome tweeter, as well as Continuum and Aerofoil drivers that have been developed for use in B&W's 800 series floorstanding speakers. The three-way model, the CWM8.3 D, is equipped with a decoupled Diamond dome tweeter, a 5-inch Continuum FST(tm) midrange drive unit, and two 7-inch Aerofoil bass woofers that can be placed either vertically or horizontally in the central baffle.
