Bowers & Wilkins CT8 CC – Reference Custom Theater Center Channel Speaker

Complimentary White Glove Delivery | Private Showroom Auditions | Travel Reimbursement Available for Qualifying Purchases

The Bowers & Wilkins CT8 CC is a reference-grade, three-way center channel loudspeaker engineered for uncompromising home theater performance. Part of the prestigious CT800 Series, the CT8 CC delivers extraordinary dialogue clarity, dynamic authority, and precise sound reproduction for the most demanding private cinema installations.

Designed to complement the CT8 LR left and right speakers, the CT8 CC utilizes an identical driver complement in a horizontal configuration, ensuring consistent tonal balance and seamless integration across the front soundstage.

Reference-Level Dialogue Clarity

At the heart of the CT8 CC is a dedicated 6-inch Aramid Fibre FST midrange driver, engineered to reproduce dialogue and critical midrange information with exceptional accuracy.

A 1.25-inch Nautilus tube-loaded metal dome tweeter delivers detailed high-frequency reproduction, while dual 10-inch bass drivers provide the scale and dynamic impact required for cinematic soundtracks.

Adjustable Midrange & Tweeter Assembly

The CT8 CC features an adjustable midrange and tweeter head that allows precise alignment toward the primary listening position.

This design enables flexible placement above or below the projection screen while maintaining accurate sound dispersion and focused dialogue reproduction.

Engineered for Reference Private Cinemas

The CT8 CC combines a rigid Matrix-reinforced enclosure with a sophisticated three-way closed-box design to minimize unwanted cabinet resonance.

Its advanced driver architecture and active bass crossover system are designed to deliver exceptional clarity, control, and dynamic performance in dedicated home theaters.

The CT8 CC is intended for use with the appropriate CT8 XO active crossover as part of a properly configured CT800 Series system.
