Bowers & Wilkins CCM632
3″ In Ceiling speaker
The Performance Series delivers fantastic sound in an incredibly discreet package. These loudspeakers are engineered by the same team who creates the loudspeakers used in some of the world’s most advanced recording studios.
See nothing, hear everything
In-ceiling speakers, designed to squeeze into small spaces or be used in multiples for diffuse, background sound, are really difficult to get right. If the driver’s too small, there won’t be enough bass without adding a bulky subwoofer, but the common alternative is a 2-way where the tweeter sits in front of a small bass/midrange driver. The problem with these is the driver fires around the tweeter’s body, inevitably leading to colouration.
The Bowers & Wilkins CCM632 is a single 75mm (3inch) full-range driver with a beautifully well-balanced sound, that sidesteps traditional small speaker issues yet still takes up less than 150mm (6”) diameter space installed. The CCM632 also features Bowers & Wilkins new and innovative ZipDogs™ fixing method. These make short work of installation and cope with almost any thickness of mounting panel. Each speaker comes with an integral enclosure to minimise acoustic bleed into adjoining spaces.
Speakers are supplied in pairs, with each pack including round and square magnetically fixed, and fully customisable, grille/bezel assemblies.

1960s: Humble beginnings
The sleepy coastal town of Worthing in South England might not look like a hotbed of 1960s freewheeling experimentation, but for audio fans it’s a place that’s synonymous with innovation.
Thanks to the first Bowers & Wilkins speakers built here in the early years of the company, music lovers could experience albums such as Sgt. Pepper and Pet Sounds in new, mind-expanding depth and clarity
1966: Beginings
John Bowers begins assembling speaker systems in the workshop of his electronics shop in Worthing, South East England
Following an inheritance of £10,000 from a satisfied customer, John Bowers sets up his own loudspeaker company
1966: P1
The first Bowers & Wilkins loudspeaker. The profit from P1 allowed the company to invest in new calibration equipment
1968: Domestic Monitors
The DM1 and DM3 were launched to bring high quality audio to more customers, at an affordable price point
1970s: A decade of milestones
With the company established and growing fast, Bowers & Wilkins developed its reputation for innovative design backed up by world-leading R&D.
They introduced new forms and design concepts including Tweeter-on-Top, new cone materials such as Aramid fibre, and it all culminated in the launch of the iconic 801, soon to become the reference speaker of choice for many of the world’s leading recording studios
1970: DM70
With its curved cabinet, the DM70 changed the shape of loudspeaker design
1980s: The application of science
Extensive investment in research led to the establishment of the company’s dedicated R&D facility in Steyning.
The era of MTV pop superstardom and bombastic stadium rock also saw Bowers & Wilkins buck the trend and introduce something small and unobtrusive: the “compact monitor”, or CM1
1990s: Rewriting the rulebook
The 1990s saw the pioneering work of the Steyning research team realised in spectacular fashion with the launch of Nautilus™, a speaker that rewrote preconceived notions of speaker design.
It also saw major product launches at both ends of the spectrum, with the unveiling of the highly regarded entry-level 600 Series and the flagship Nautilus 800 Series
2000s: Expansion in to new categories
The decade that brought us iPods and smartphones saw them embrace the new world with the launch of the iconic Zeppelin.
They also expanded into the car audio category and transformed the performance of their 800 Series with the development of the Diamond-dome tweeter
2015: 800 Series Diamond
The latest version of their flagship introduced a complete redesign and revolutionary new technologies, such as the Continuum™ cone
