Bowers and Wilkins CM-9 Brochure

CM9

If it’s hard to put the sound of the CM9 into words, that’s just as well. This

top-of-the-range oorstanding speaker will ll even the largest domestic

spaces with music so richly detailed, and so startlingly lifelike, that it will leave

you speechless.

The three-way CM9 delivers truly commanding bass with the aid of twin

165mm paper/Kevlar® cone drive units. An FST® driver, with its characteristic

compression surround supporting the outer edge of the distinctive Kevlar®

cone, is specially developed for outstanding midrange performance.

The CM9’s Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter keeps high

frequencies crisp and sharp all the way up to 50kHz and beyond.

The quality of CM Series drive units has made it possible to use minimalist

crossovers throughout the whole range. The resulting gentle transition

between drivers avoids the unnaturally rapid changes in dispersion that

bedevil more complex designs, while the high quality components, carefully

chosen after exhaustive listening tests, ensure that as little as possible gets

between you and the sound of the original recording.

All CM Series speakers come with aluminium driver trims. Grilles attach

magnetically, so there are no unsightly grille-mounting features to spoil the

clean lines of the speaker’s façade. For the nish, you can choose either one

of two real-wood veneers in Rosenut or Wengé, or a highly polished gloss

black.
