Environmental Information

All Bowers & Wilkins products are

designed to comply with international

directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). These symbols indicate compliance and that the products must be appropriately recycled or processed in accordance with these directives. Consult your local waste disposal authority for guidance.

CCM7 Series ceiling mount speakers comprise a baffle carrying the speaker drivers and crossover, an integrated back-box and front flange, and a magnetically secured grille. The back box is connected via external terminals to the speaker cables with the baffle connecting automatically as it is inserted in the back box.

CCM7 Series require a ceiling cut-out aperture of 332mm x 332mm (13.07 in x 13.07 in) and a minimum clear depth of 194.5mm (7.66 in) from the front of the ceiling surface.

Before installing CCM7 Series speakers you should ensure that the ceiling locations chosen are free of obstructions such as pipe work, ducting or wiring that will interfere with the installation. In existing dry-wall construction, use a stud-finding tool to help you map the ceiling construction and a pipe detector to scan the proposed installation locations.

Some stages of the CCM7 Series installation process are best carried out by two people working together.

The appropriate position for CCM7 Series speakers within the listening environment will depend on their specific application:

General Background Audio Applications

For applications where single CCM7 Series speakers are required to operate independently to provide background audio, they can be located substantially as installation convenience and architecture dictate. The only acoustic constraint to bear in mind is that corner locations will result in significantly emphasised low frequencies and should be avoided.

Stereo Audio Applications

For applications where a pair of CCM7 Series speakers is to be used for conventional stereo reproduction, they should be located between 3m (10 ft) and 5m (16.5 ft) apart and a similar distance in front of the listening area. Try to avoid corner locations for the speakers and to ensure that acoustic environment around each speaker is similar. The diagram above illustrates this application.

Note: Different acoustic environments might be, for example, a bare wall and a heavily curtained window.
