High performance in-wall speaker
Invisible hi-fi performance for high-end integrations
The B&W CWM8.5D is an in-wall speaker from the CI 800 series, designed to deliver reference-level sound quality in architectural installations where aesthetics must remain clean and minimal. Thanks to its 2-way configuration with decoupled tweeter , it guarantees precise, dynamic and perfectly focused reproduction, even in large spaces.
Designed for high-end stereo systems, advanced multi-room systems or immersive home cinemas, the CWM8.5D combines power, control and natural tonal quality, while maintaining an extremely discreet visual impact thanks to the paintable magnetic grille.
Technology derived from B&W reference series
The speaker integrates a 25 mm aluminum Nautilus™ tweeter mounted in a swiveling and decoupled stand, combined with a 180 mm (7") woofer with a high-performance diaphragm. This architecture allows for excellent high-range extension, deep bass and excellent speech intelligibility.
The system includes an integrated back box , which ensures a controlled and consistent response regardless of wall structure, improving isolation and consistency across multiple installation points. The B&W CWM8.5D is the ideal solution for high-end living environments or custom projects where quality audio is desired without exposed speakers.
