Bowers & Wilkins CWM362 6-Inch 2-Way In-Wall Speaker
The Bowers & Wilkins CWM362 is a flexible 2-way in-wall loudspeaker designed to deliver detailed, natural and powerful sound while maintaining a discreet architectural appearance. Part of Bowers & Wilkins’ custom installation range, the CWM362 is suitable for home theatre, stereo music, multi-room audio and premium residential installations.
The speaker features a 6-inch (160 mm) polypropylene cone bass/midrange driver. The polypropylene diaphragm is engineered to provide smooth and controlled low- and mid-frequency reproduction, making the CWM362 capable of delivering clear vocals, dialogue and musical detail while maintaining a clean overall tonal balance.
High-frequency reproduction is handled by a 1-inch (25 mm) soft-dome tweeter. The tweeter is designed to deliver smooth and detailed high frequencies, helping the speaker reproduce movie soundtracks, vocals, instruments and ambient effects with clarity.
The CWM362 uses a 2-way speaker configuration, separating bass/midrange and high-frequency reproduction between its dedicated drivers. This allows each driver to focus on its intended frequency range and provides a balanced presentation for both music and movies.
The speaker provides a 50 Hz–30 kHz frequency range at -6 dB and a sensitivity of 89 dB SPL at 2.83 V / 1 m. With an 8-ohm nominal impedance and 5-ohm minimum impedance, the CWM362 can be integrated with a broad range of compatible AV receivers, stereo amplifiers and custom-installation amplifiers.
With 80 watts power handling, the CWM362 is suitable for residential home theatre and distributed audio systems where reliable performance and discreet installation are important. Its relatively high sensitivity also allows it to achieve strong output without requiring excessive amplifier power.
The CWM362 features an elegant minimal-width border design that reduces the visible footprint of the speaker once installed. The grille and frame can be painted to match the surrounding wall, allowing the speaker to blend naturally with the interior décor.
For installation flexibility, Bowers & Wilkins provides the PMK W6 pre-mount kit and BB 6W back box as compatible installation accessories. A dedicated back box can help provide a more controlled acoustic environment and simplify installation planning in suitable projects.
The speaker’s compact architectural format makes it suitable for installation into walls where conventional freestanding speakers would be visually intrusive. Its in-wall construction keeps the audio system discreet while allowing the room to maintain a clean and modern appearance.
The Bowers & Wilkins CWM362 is an excellent solution for custom home theatre systems, front or surround channels, stereo music, whole-home audio, media rooms and premium architectural audio installations where high-quality sound and minimal visual impact are equally important.
