Project: CI-600

Client: Bowers & Wilkins

Date: 2009


The CI-600 range represents a full redesign of Bowers and Wilkins' entry-level custom installation speakers. Considered from the bottom up, the outcome is a family of 12 speakers employing a range of innovations. Perhaps the most significant is the unique tool-free process which enables installation in a fraction of the time of existing methods. Other developments include: square grille conversion; plug-and-play connection; narrow grille bezels; off-axis tweeter adjustment. These speakers have been hailed by B&W as ‘the most important custom product launch in the company’s history’. The images show a number of key models in the range and a few of the technological advancements. Click here for more information.
