Bowers and Wilkins CM-1 Brochure

CM1

The CM1 mini-monitor was designed and developed in tandem with the 805s

from the 800 Series and shares that model’s driver and crossover technology,

along with its remarkable musical ability. It continues a long and distinguished

line of compact and inherently accurate monitors that have an uncanny ability

to re-create an utterly convincing portrayal of music’s dynamics, colour,

energy and beauty.

The driver line-up of a 130mm Kevlar® cone bass/midrange and 25mm

Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter endow the CM1 with a

striking ability to resolve ne musical detail and its rst order crossover

topology, made possible by the remarkably wide bandwidth of the drivers,

ensures it makes music as a seamless, cohesive whole. The Nautilus™

tweeter also extends the CM1’s frequency response to above 50kHz. Despite

its small size the CM1’s low frequency performance balances perfectly

its transparent and extended midrange and high frequencies. Flowport™

technology to minimise turbulence, and a bass driver featuring magnet

system technology that reduces distortion, mean that CM1 bass is deep,

fast, tuneful and always under control. An optional port sleeve that modies

the low frequency response shape allows positioning of the speaker right up

close to room boundaries without musical compromise.

Power Handling

The CM1’s cabinet is a classically manufactured and exquisitely veneered

expression of the cabinet makers’ art and provides a visually understated and

mechanically rigid enclosure for the drivers. Real wood nishes in Wenge,

Rosenut and Maple are available. And removing the magnetically attached

black or dark grey fabric grille to view the drivers reveals no unsightly grille

mounting features. Shelf or wall bracket mounting is perfectly feasible for the

CM1 but a matching oor-stand, the FS 700/CM, is available and provides

optimal performance.
