The manual provides step‑by‑step instructions for installing Bowers & Wilkins CWM DS8 speakers in walls or ceilings. It covers site preparation, positioning, cable selection, mounting, and fine‑tuning of dipole/monopole modes, as well as customising the finish.
A full warranty section explains the five‑year limited warranty, claim procedures and exclusions. Safety warnings, recommended cavity volumes, clearance distances and cable resistance limits are also detailed to ensure optimal performance.
| Minimum clearance from walls/ceilings | 0.5 m (20 in) |
|---|---|
| Recommended loop resistance (non‑critical) | < 0.5 Ω |
| Recommended loop resistance (best results) | < 0.2 Ω |
| Magnetic field safety distance | ≥ 0.5 m (20 in) from magnetic‑sensitive equipment |
Keep the speaker at least 0.5 m (20 in) away from devices such as CRT TVs or computer monitors.
Aim for a loop resistance below 0.5 Ω for most installations and below 0.2 Ω for the best performance.
Maintain a minimum distance of 0.5 m (20 in) from any wall or ceiling edge.
