Features

Two-Way Driver Design: The Bowers & Wilkins CCM682 in-ceiling loudspeaker utilizes a two-way driver design featuring a 1″ aluminum-dome tweeter, an 8″ Kevlar cone woofer with rubber surround, a die-cast chassis for both the tweeter and woofer, plus an advanced crossover network for clear high frequencies, natural midrange, deep bass, and high power handling.

Aimable Tweeter with EQ: The tweeter can be tilted towards your listening area and the corresponding equalization options offer better off-axis response. The tweeter can be tilted up to 30 degrees. The 3-way EQ switch can be set to 0, 15, or 30 degrees. “Dots” on the tweeter housing and the EQ switch indicate the angle and EQ setting. Make sure to match up the “Dots” on the the tweeter housing with the corresponding “Dots” on the EQ switch.

• 1 Dot = 0 degrees
• 2 Dots = 15 degrees
• 3 Dots = 30 degrees

Gold-Plated Spring-Post Terminals: The B&W CCM682 in-ceiling loudspeaker is outfitted with gold-plated, spring-post terminals that will accommodate bare speaker wire (up to 12AWG), pin connectors, and banana plugs (single only). The gold-plated terminals provide excellent audio signal transfer and resists corrosion.

Magnetic & Paintable Grilles: The Bowers & Wilkins CCM682 in-ceiling loudspeaker includes easy-to-install magnetic grilles that are also paintable. The grille protrudes 0.25″ from the ceiling.

In-Ceiling Installation: The B&W CCM682 requires a round cutout and is secured in the ceiling via the included mounting frame with integrated “QuickDogs” spring-loaded clamps that tighten using phillips-head screws. The cutout will need to measure 9.8125″ (diameter) x 5.25″ (depth). Make sure there is a least 0.75″ of clearance around the cutout opening for the integrated “QuickDogs” clamps. The mounting clamps will accommodate 0.25″ to 1″ thick drywall.

Applications: The Bowers & Wilkins CCM6 Series in-ceiling loudspeakers are suited for distributed audio, 2-channel stereo, and multi-channel home theater applications.

• Distributed Audio: For applications where single CCM6 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 CCM6 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 CCM6 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 CCM6 Series speakers should be located just behind and either side of the listening position.
