Bowers and Wilkins CCM-818 Brochure

CCM 818

Listening is believing

Borrowing its punchy Kevlar® bass/midrange drive unit from B&W's legendary 800 Series, the CCM 818 in-ceiling speaker is

designed to be used as an unobtrusive flush mount version of the CCM 817, and is designed for home theatre or 2-channel

applications. The speaker's 8 inch driver is fitted at an angle of 12 degrees, thereby retaining some of the CCM 817's sound

directionality.
