CCM 816

Borrowing the punchy Kevlar® bass/midrange drive unit from B&W’s legendary 800 Series, the CCM816 in-ceiling speaker, a smaller version of the CCM818, is designed for home theatre or 2-channel applications. Fitted at a 28 degree angle, the 6.5 inch driver units enable the optimum listening axis to be directed more towards the listening area. This improves sound quality and imaging in a way that normal ceiling speakers cannot offer.
