Every room is different. Therefore the B&W Series of custom installation speakers are designed to be as flexible as possible. A combination of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers provides a great deal of flexibility, while a range of different sizes and configurations allows you to select the perfect system for your needs.

For some people, the mere sight of a speaker, no matter how well designed, is enough to cause palpitations. It's for precisely this clientele that B&W have pursued the notion of custom installation loudspeakers, which can be carefully hidden into walls or ceilings and, where necessary, disguised to be as hard-to-detect as possible.

Three separate ranges comprise Bowers & Wilkins Custom Installation. CI 700 offers the best sounding installation speakers B&W ever produced. CI 600 sound amazing, too, but are more affordable, while the Classic series features a host of proven classics.

B&W's top range in-wall speaker, the CWM7.3 is a mighty three-way unit bringing together tried and tested audiophile technologies with new innovations specially developed for custom installation. The speaker features twin 6 inch bass drivers, a 4 inch FST mid-range driver and a Nautilus tube loaded 1 inch soft dome tweeter. New features include rigid die-cast chassis for the drivers, high-quality Mundorf crossover components and a rock-solid baffle constructed from glass-reinforced ABS. A truly exceptional in-wall speaker.

In Pursuit of Perfection Compromise has never been part of the vocabulary at Bowers & Wilkins. Just ask the scientists at the Steyning Research Establishment, Bowers & Wilkins' dedicated acoustic R&D lab. For decades, the pioneering innovations developed here have influenced the way speakers are designed and built all over the world. Technological advances such as the Nautilus tweeter tube and Kevlar drive units have since been imitated, but never bettered. Today, Bowers & Wilkins technologies like these can be found everywhere sound quality matters - at top recording studios, for example, or concealed in walls and ceilings as part of a Bowers & Wilkins custom installation system.

The mid-point in the CI700 range of in-wall speakers, the CWM7.4 has a more manageable size than the CWM7.3, but comes with a similarly impressive set of features, such as a 6inch bass/midrange driver set in a rigid die-cast chassis, a Nautilus tube-loaded 1in soft dome tweeter and reinforced ABS baffle. The speaker uses a scallop under the tweeter to create a better roll-off at high frequencies, resulting in more accurate sound reproduction. Other high quality features include Mundorf crossover components and our Flowport venting system for a cleaner, more responsive bass.

Technology Bowers & Wilkins remains at the forefront of speaker innovation thanks to our ongoing investment in technology. The CI 700 Series features Nautilus tweeters, FST Kevlar midrange drive units, and Flowport for improved bass performance, while a hinged reservoir box increases the internal volume of the speakers.

The entry-point in our CI700 in-wall speaker range, the CWM7.5 is the smallest of the three speakers but comes packed with superb, reference-quality features such as a 5inch bass/midrange driver set in a rigid die-cast chassis, a Nautilus tube-loaded 1in soft dome tweeter and reinforced ABS baffle. Other high quality features include Mundorf crossover components and our Flowport venting system for a cleaner, more responsive bass.

Sound All of the CI 700 Series speakers have been carefully designed to create the optimum sound dispersion. The baffle is formed from a single moulding resulting in an incredibly rigid structure. The ceiling models feature a scallop underneath the tweeter for the perfect roll off for high-frequencies and more accurate sound reproduction.

The CWM663 features a 6in blue Kevlar bass/midrange driver housed in a die-cast chassis, providing extra rigidity for cleaner, faster bass. The speaker also incorporates a 1in Nautilus tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter, and a three-position high frequency switch for acoustic fine-tuning.

Care and attention Each of B&W custom installation speakers has been developed with the same care and attention as they lavish on there more conventional, cabinet-based designs. Thanks to over forty years of experience in speaker development and our ongoing investment into science and technology, B&W continue to lead the way when it comes to sound quality. The CWM 663 speakers are no exception.

The CWM664 has the same basic features and dimensions as the CWM663, but uses a soft dome Nautilus tube-loaded tweeter instead of an aluminium dome, and a black glass fibre bass/midrange cone instead of blue Kevlar.

Hidden A combination of features allow the CWM 664 to remain virtually invisible. Super-thin bezels that can be sprayed in a colour of your choice mean they are barely noticeable. allow a speaker to blend into its surrounding. Finally, dark internal surfaces ensure discreetness.

Slightly smaller than its two bigger cousins, the CWM652 still packs a very powerful punch thanks to top-range technologies. Its 5in blue Kevlar bass/midrange driver is housed in a die-cast chassis, providing extra rigidity for cleaner, faster bass. The speaker also incorporates a 1in Nautilus tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter, and a three-position high frequency switch for acoustic fine-tuning.

Flexible
Harnessing the same Bowers & Wilkins technologies that are used in some of the world's best recording studios, the CI 600 Series of custom installation loudspeakers fill a room with stunning, lifelike, three dimensional sound. The result is a range that is near-invisible to the eye, but infinitely pleasing to the ear.

Bowers & Wilkins CWM 362 use the same acoustic and industrial design teams that created the higher-end in-ceiling speakers. While the new 300 Series has been designed for budget applications, the performance is clearly first rate. The CWM 362 is an in-wall model with a 6-inch polypropylene cone bass/midrange driver and a one-inch soft-dome tweeter. The CWM 362 feature the same thin bezeled frame as the CI600 models.
