Bowers & Wilkins Cinema Center Speaker CT8 CC, 1pc

The Bowers & Wilkins CT8 CC is a dedicated centre channel speaker in the Custom Theatre 800 Series, designed to provide exceptional clarity and detail for dialogue and vocals in high-end home cinema systems. As the focal point for dialogue reproduction, the CT8 CC ensures that every spoken word is delivered with pristine accuracy. It features a sophisticated driver arrangement, including a 6-inch Kevlar® midrange driver and dual 8-inch Rohacell® woofers, which work together to produce a rich and dynamic sound. The speaker also incorporates a Nautilus™ tube-loaded tweeter, providing precise and clear high frequencies, essential for rendering subtle details in both speech and sound effects.

The CT8 CC’s design allows it to seamlessly integrate into a variety of home theatre setups, maintaining a consistent sound signature across the front soundstage when paired with other speakers from the CT800 series. Its robust and acoustically inert cabinet minimizes resonance, ensuring that the audio remains pure and uncoloured. With its combination of advanced technology and meticulous craftsmanship, the Bowers & Wilkins CT8 CC is an outstanding choice for anyone looking to achieve the highest standards of audio fidelity in their home cinema.

Midrange

Some things don’t change. For 25 years Aramid fiber has been outperforming pretenders to its position as the number one material for midrange driver cones. Its woven structure resists the concentric standing waves that blur the sound from conventional cones, and presents the most immediate parts of the sound spectrum in all their true colors.

Lending support is B&W’s FST™ technology: a foamed polymer surround that mirrors the mechanical properties of the Aramid fiber, absorbing residual resonances and bending waves in the cone. A formidable partnership.
