B&W CCM382

More radiating area overhead

CCM382 is the larger coaxial model in the Flexible pair.

The Bowers & Wilkins CCM382 pair needs a 249 mm opening per speaker and 85 mm of clearance behind the ceiling. Its outer diameter is 290 mm, a measurement to check against lighting, joists and the rest of the installation plan. The front projects by approximately 4 mm.

Key features

• Cut-out 249 mm; frame 290 mm; depth 85 mm.
• Drive units: 200 mm polypropylene bass/midrange and 25 mm soft-dome tweeter.
• Impedance: 8 ohm, 5 ohm minimum; power: 80 W handling.
• PMK C8 pre-mount kit; BB 6C back box

Stepping up from CCM362

Its 200 mm polypropylene bass/midrange driver offers more radiating area than CCM362's 160 mm unit, while retaining a coaxially placed 25 mm soft-dome tweeter. Choose the larger cut-out where wider coverage and greater output are priorities. The -6 dB frequency range begins at 45 Hz, compared with 50 Hz for the smaller model.

Dimensions and system matching

At 90 dB sensitivity, 8-ohm nominal impedance and a 5-ohm minimum, CCM382 has 80 W power handling. The quoted upper limit is 30 kHz. PMK C8 is the designated pre-mount kit and BB 6C the listed back box. Position the speakers with the rear clearance and listening area in mind: the coaxial layout supports broad-angle coverage. Round or square presentation can suit the ceiling design.
