Bowers & Wilkins CCM382 8" Ceiling Speaker
Bowers & Wilkins CCM382 8" 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 CCM382 is an 8-inch in-ceiling speaker built for performance in both everyday living spaces and humidity-prone rooms such as bathrooms, spas and pool areas. Part of the acclaimed CI 300 Series, it's a great option for anyone wanting discreet, high-quality distributed audio in kitchens, lounges or wet rooms without compromising on sound.
Why we like it
- Two-way coaxial design pairs a 200mm polypropylene bass/midrange driver with a 25mm soft dome tweeter for detailed, full-range sound
- Moisture-resistant construction means it's genuinely suited to bathrooms and other high-humidity environments
- Wide dispersion pattern delivers even coverage across the room, ideal for background or distributed music systems
- Slim 88mm mounting depth makes installation possible in shallow ceiling voids
- Supplied with both round and square paintable magnetic grilles for a seamless, decor-matching finish
Installation notes
The CCM382 requires a 249mm cut-out and sits at an 88mm depth behind the surface, with just 8.5mm protrusion once fitted, making it a flexible choice for most ceiling constructions. With an 8 ohm nominal impedance (minimum 5 ohm) and 80W power handling, it pairs well with a Sonos Amp or WiiM Amp for straightforward multi-room streaming, or with a traditional AV receiver for background music in larger rooms.
