Bowers & Wilkins CCM684 8-Inch In-Ceiling Speaker

Product Description

Enjoy powerful, detailed sound without visible speakers taking up valuable room space with the Bowers & Wilkins CCM684 in-ceiling speaker. As the entry point to the CI 600 Series range of 8-inch in-ceiling models, the CCM684 combines discreet installation with balanced, room-filling audio for music, television, and home theater applications.

This two-way in-ceiling speaker features a 200mm (8-inch) woven black glass-fibre cone bass/midrange driver designed to deliver clear vocals, natural instrument reproduction, and satisfying low-frequency performance. A soft-dome tweeter produces smooth, refined high frequencies for comfortable listening across a wide range of content.

The tweeter housing can be pivoted to direct high-frequency sound toward the primary listening area, helping improve clarity and off-axis performance when ideal speaker placement is not possible. An integrated EQ switch provides additional control over the speaker’s response, making it easier to adapt the sound to the installation environment.

Designed for efficient custom installation, the Bowers & Wilkins CCM684 includes QuickDogs™ mounting hardware and plug-and-play connectivity. Its neat circular ceiling-mount chassis blends unobtrusively into the room, making it an excellent choice for distributed audio systems and discreet home theater installations where the goal is simple: see nothing and hear everything.
