Bowers & Wilkins CCM362 6" In-Ceiling Speaker
Bowers & Wilkins CCM362 6" In-Ceiling Speaker
If the ceiling has a bedroom or other living space above it, or is part of an escape route, building regulations require each speaker to have a fire hood. Hoods also cut sound leaking into the room above.
Allow about 10m per speaker for a typical run back to the amplifier (this listing is a pair). Webro 16/2 LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is the right cable for runs in ceilings and walls.
The Bowers & Wilkins CCM362 is a 6-inch two-way in-ceiling speaker from the renowned CI 300 Series, built to deliver clear, balanced sound in living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and commercial spaces alike. Its moisture-resistant construction means it copes confidently with humidity, making it a popular choice for wet rooms, spas and pool areas, while remaining equally at home in a lounge or home office distributed audio system.
Why we like it
- Coaxial 160mm polypropylene bass/midrange driver paired with a 25mm soft dome tweeter for detailed, full-range sound
- Wide dispersion pattern gives consistent coverage, even off-axis
- Robust, humidity-tolerant build suited to bathrooms and other demanding environments
- Slim 80mm mounting depth makes it easy to fit into shallow ceiling voids
- Supplied with both round and square paintable grilles for a seamless finish
Installation notes
The CCM362 requires a 200mm cut-out and just 80mm of depth behind the ceiling surface, with a 240mm overall grille diameter and minimal 7.4mm protrusion once fitted. It pairs neatly with multi-zone amplifiers such as a Sonos Amp or WiiM Amp for easy streaming control, and an optional pre-mounting kit (PMKC6) and back box (BB 6C) are available for new-build or renovation projects where extra fire and acoustic isolation is needed.
