    Features

    Two-Way Driver Design: The Bowers & Wilkins CWM362 in-wall loudspeaker utilizes a two-way driver design featuring a 1″ soft-dome tweeter and 6″ polypropylene woofer with rubber surround for well balanced sound and wide-angle listening.

    Spring-Clip Terminals: The B&W CWM362 in-wall loudspeaker is outfitted with a set of spring-clip terminals to attach your speaker wire. The spring-clip terminals will accept bare wire (up to 12AWG) and pin-connectors.

    Magnetic & Paintable Grilles: The Bowers & Wilkins CWM362 includes easy-to-install magnetic grilles that are also paintable. The grille protrudes 0.25″ from the wall.

    In-Wall Installation: The B&W CWM362 requires a rectangular cutout and is secured in the wall via integrated “dog-ear” clamps that swing outward and then tighten with phillips-head screws. The cutout will need to measure 7.25″ (w) x 11.0″ (h) x 3.0″ (d). Make sure there is a least 1″ of clearance around the cutout opening to allow the “dog-ear” clamps to swing outward and tighten. The mounting clamps will accommodate 0.25″ to 0.5″ thick drywall.

    Note: Before installing CWM3 Series in-wall speakers you should ensure that the wall locations chosen are free of obstructions such as pipe work, ducting or wiring that will interfere with the installation. In existing drywall construction, use a stud-finding tool to help you map the wall construction and a pipe detector to scan the proposed installation locations.

    Applications: The Bowers & Wilkins CWM3 Series in-wall loudspeakers are suited for distributed audio, 2-channel stereo, and multi-channel home theater applications. They are also particular suitable for use in humid environments, such as bathrooms.

    • Distributed Audio: For applications where single CWM3 Series speakers are required to operate independently to provide background audio, they can be mounted as installation convenience and architecture dictate. The only acoustic constraint to bear in mind is that corner locations will result in significantly emphasized low frequencies and should be avoided.
    • 2-Channel Stereo: For applications where a pair of CWM3 Series speakers is to be used for conventional stereo reproduction, they should be located between 10′ and 16.5′ apart and a similar distance in front of the listening area.
    • Home Theater: For applications where multiple CWM3 Series speakers are to be used for multi-channel home theater system, the left and right front speakers should be located either side of the screen approximately 20″ away. The center channel speaker should be located either directly above or below the screen or, in the case of an acoustically transparent screen, directly behind. Surround channel CWM3 Series speakers should be located just behind and either side of the listening position.

    Notes:

    • Try to avoid corner locations for any of the speakers and to ensure that the acoustic environment around each speaker is similar.
    • The nature of the installation of in-wall speakers means that it is sometimes impractical to locate them in the acoustically ideal positions. In these cases they should be located as close as is practical to the ideal positions.
