The Bowers & Wilkins CCM684 speakers form part of the brand’s acclaimed Performance Series, delivering exceptional audio quality in a highly discreet design. Engineered by the same team responsible for Bowers & Wilkins’ studio-grade loudspeakers, these in-ceiling models bring the precision and clarity of professional sound into your home. Perfect for high-end multi-room installations or home cinemas, the CCM684 lets you see nothing, hear everything.
