About this manual

This Owner’s Manual introduces the Bowers & Wilkins CWM LCR7 in‑wall speakers, explains the five‑year limited warranty (two years for electronic components) and outlines the contents of the package, including the speaker baffle, grille, paint mask and mounting template. It also describes the recommended positioning for front, centre, surround and multi‑channel home‑theatre setups, emphasizing proper angles, listening height and clearance from walls or ceilings.\n\nInstallation guidance covers cavity requirements (minimum 20 L), cable selection (loop resistance below 0.5 Ω for non‑critical use, below 0.2 Ω for optimal performance), preparation of drywall or solid walls, damping the cavity with mineral wool, and the step‑by‑step fitting of the speaker. The manual also includes customisation tips for painting the frame and grille.
