CM 2

Stand-mount/Bookshelf loudspeaker system

Product Summary

●

The CM2 is a 2-way bookshelf speaker finished in a choice of two real wood veneers -

Maple and Rosenut. The brushed aluminium baffle emphasises the clean, modern design

approach.

●

The stand or shelf mount CM2 is ideal for the smaller room or where its compact size is

important. The FS-CDM stand provides the ideal support and allows the speaker to project the

finest of detail in music. Tube loading the tweeter ensures far greater absorption of unwanted

radiation from the rear of the diaphragm. The resulting effect is to create a more focused and

natural high frequency sound. Flowport is integrally moulded with the terminal tray at the rear of

the cabinet, its surface dimpled like a golf ball to smooth the airflow and reduce turbulence.

Technical highlights

Nautilus™ Tweeter: B&W's Nautilus Tweeter technology ensures that the sound

remains focused and time-sensitive and that the stereo-image is presented with

unparalleled three dimensional accuracy.

Kevlar®: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar® for

loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally

created Kevlar® for use in bulletproof vests.

Flowport™: Golf ball aerodynamics theory points the way towards lower

distortion reflex ports. Dimples improve the way the air flows over the surface of

any object. In the case of reflex ports, they offer a significant improvement over

simply flaring the port ends in reducing air flow turbulence at each end of the

port; so you get less chuffing noise and less compression at high sound levels.
