The Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association’s annual expo is always an important date in the calendar for Bowers & Wilkins and this year is no exception. With over 25,000 visitors, CEDIA Expo is the largest trade show in the custom electronics industry so it is no surprise that we should choose this exhibition to preview exciting new developments in our custom installation product line up.

Our first range of custom installation speakers using integral enclosures, CI 700 Series, will be on show along with a brand new CI 600 Series which offers value, style and ease of installation. Both ranges have been developed after listening to feedback from installers all over the world and incorporate latest technologies to enhance installation time and performance.  The CI 600 Series can be installed in super fast time without the need for tools and offers considerable sound quality with a host of performance enhancements introduced throughout the range. Based on the acclaimed CT 700 range, the CI 700 Series boasts exceptional sonic performance as well as a unique retro-fitable baffle and enclosure system that prevents any potential loss in audio quality. Equally at home in a home theatre or hi-fi set up, CI 700 Series speakers can be mixed and matched with CT 700 components in order to make the best use of available space.

Our Custom Theatre range will also be enhanced by the introduction of CT SW15, an awesome new subwoofer that provides the last word in deep and powerful bass.  The CT SW15 handles the most explosive sound tracks with ease yet, as you would expect from Bowers & Wilkins, it remains musically tuneful and exceptionally low in colouration.

We have chosen CEDIA Expo to preview some new special-edition models from Rotel, the RCD-06SE CD Player and RA-05SE integrated amplifier. The RCD-06SE replaces the very popular RCD-06. Externally the components maintain the same sleek styling and remarkable build quality of the original. However, internally the RCD-06SE has undergone major changes, many of which are a direct result of the developments made during the creation of the flagship Rotel 15 Series.  The outgoing RA-05 has similarly benefitted from developments to the 15 Series. Extensive time spent tuning, upgrading and switching components in this model has resulted in the RA-05SE, a product that shares the original slim-line good looks and build quality but takes its audio performance to the next level.

Classé has also got new products on show at the CEDIA Expo, namely the new CT Series. Designed with the equipment rack in mind the CT Series of power amps provides the perfect partnership to Bowers & Wilkins’ CT 800 Theatre System. Including new circuits, new power supplies and a high-tech cooling system these amps provide the optimum in performance for any high end theatre set up.

These products are due for release over the coming months so look out for more information on our website.
