CC3 specifications

The Bowers & Wilkins CC3 is a high-performance center channel speaker designed to enhance your home theater experience. Renowned for its craftsmanship and audio fidelity, the CC3 serves as a crucial component in a multi-channel audio setup, ensuring that dialogue and other sound elements are delivered with clarity and precision.

One of the standout features of the CC3 is its advanced driver configuration. The speaker is equipped with dual 5-inch Kevlar® midrange drivers, which are specifically designed to provide smooth and detailed sound reproduction across frequencies. Kevlar is known for its rigidity and lightweight properties, allowing for a swift response that captures the subtleties of dialogue and sound effects alike. This material choice enhances the speaker's ability to manage dynamic range, making it particularly effective for film soundtracks.

Complementing the midrange drivers is a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter, renowned for its ability to deliver high frequencies with remarkable accuracy. This superior tweeter design provides a broad dispersion pattern, ensuring that the sound remains consistent even when you are seated off-axis. The result is a cohesive and immersive listening experience that draws you into the cinematic world.

The CC3 features an elegant design, available in a variety of finishes that can seamlessly blend with your existing home decor. The front baffle is designed to minimize diffraction, which helps to create a more focused sound stage. Additionally, the speaker is magnetically shielded, allowing it to be placed near televisions and other electronic devices without causing interference.

In terms of technology, the CC3 incorporates advanced engineering concepts, including a sophisticated crossover network. This network ensures that each driver receives the appropriate frequency range, optimizing performance and maintaining audio integrity. The speaker's cabinet is also designed to reduce resonance, which can distort sound quality. By using dense materials and strategic internal bracing, the CC3 minimizes unwanted vibrations and keeps the audio clean and balanced.

For those looking to enhance their home theater setup, the Bowers & Wilkins CC3 is an excellent choice. Its combination of innovative technology, premium build quality, and stunning sound reproduction makes it an integral part of any audio system. Whether you are enjoying a riveting film or listening to music, the CC3 delivers an audio experience that is nothing short of exceptional, truly elevating the art of sound in your living space.
