About the CDMC SE
The Bowers & Wilkins CDMC SE is a magnetically shielded 2-way vented-box centre channel loudspeaker designed for home cinema use. It uses one 25mm alloy dome high-frequency tweeter and one 165mm woven Kevlar cone bass/midrange driver, with the tweeter mounted in a separate enclosure to reduce diffraction and improve imaging, in line with the CDM SE design philosophy. The enclosure is a horizontal centre-channel layout finished in real wood veneer (including popular finishes such as black ash) and supplied with removable black cloth grilles, matching the aesthetics of the CDM Special Edition range.
