CCM6 Series ceiling mount speakers comprise a  
baffle carrying the speaker drivers and crossover,  
a mounting frame (with integrated bezel), and a  
magnetically secured grille. The frame is connected  
via side mounted terminals to the speaker cables, with  
the baffle connecting automatically as it is inserted in  
the frame.  
All CCM6 Series speakers require clear depth behind  
the sheetrock (plasterboard) of 140mm (5.51 in). The  
diagrams above illustrate these dimensions.  
Note: If CCM6 Series speakers are to be installed  
in “new build” projects, pre-mount kits and back  
boxes are available. Contact your local Bowers &  
Wilkins retailer for more information.

Before installing CCM6 Series speakers you should  
ensure that the ceiling locations chosen are free of  
obstructions such as pipe work, ducting or wiring that  
will interfere with the installation. In existing dry-wall  
construction, use a stud-finding tool to help you map  
the ceiling construction and a pipe detector to scan the  
proposed installation locations.

3. Positioning CCM6 Series Speakers  
The appropriate position for CCM6 Series speakers  
within the listening environment will depend on their  
specific application:  
Multi-channel Audio Applications  
Note: The nature of the installation of ceiling  
For applications where multiple CCM6 Series speakers  
are to be used for multi-channel audio visual systems,  
the front and centre speakers should be located  
approximately 0.5m (20 in) in front of the plane of the  
screen. The centre speaker should be on the centre  
line of the screen and the front speakers each laterally  
within approximately 0.5m (20 in) of the sides of the  
screen. Surround channel CCM6 Series speakers  
should be located just behind and either side of the  
listening position. Try to avoid corner locations for  
any of the speakers and to ensure that the acoustic  
environment around each front and surround speaker  
is similar.  
speakers means that it is sometimes impractical  
to locate them in an acoustically ideal position. In  
these cases they should be located as close as is  
practical to the ideal positions. Your local Bowers &  
Wilkins retailer will be able to offer advice if required.  
General Background Audio Applications:  
For applications where single CCM6 Series speakers  
are required to operate independently to provide  
background audio, they can be located substantially as  
installation convenience and architecture dictate. The  
only acoustic constraint to bear in mind is that corner  
locations will result in significantly emphasised low  
frequencies and should be avoided.  
Note: CCM6 Series drive units create stray  
magnetic fields. We recommend that magnetically  
sensitive items such as CRT screens and magnetic  
cards for example, are kept at least 0.5m (20 in)  
from the speaker. LCD, OLED and plasma screens  
are not affected by magnetic fields.  
Stereo Audio Applications:  
For applications where a pair of CCM6 Series speakers  
is to be used for conventional stereo reproduction, they  
should be located between 3m (10 ft) and 5m (16.5ft)  
apart and a similar distance in front of the listening  
area. Try to avoid corner locations for the speakers  
and to ensure that acoustic environment around each  
speaker is similar.  
Note: Different acoustic environments might be,  
for example, a bare wall and a heavily curtained  
window.  
The high frequency radiation characteristics of  
some CCM6 Series models can be adjusted by  
tilting their tweeters. In these cases, CCM6 Series  
speakers should be oriented so that the red arrow  
on the frame flange points towards the listening area.  
Tweeter tilting is also accompanied on some models  
by corresponding equalisation options selected via  
a switch on the baffle. See Section 4.8 for more  
information.  
Note: Different acoustic environments might be,  
for example, a bare wall and a heavily curtained  
window.

4. Installing CCM6 Series Speakers  
CCM663SR - CCM664SR  
SURROUND  
STEREO  
To install a CCM6 Series speaker proceed as  
described in the following paragraphs:  
4.4 With the frame connected it may be lifted up into  
the ceiling aperture. On speakers with tilting tweeters,  
correct frame orientation must be established at this  
stage: the red arrow on the frame flange should be  
pointing towards the listening area.  
Note: Always use high quality, low resistance  
speaker cable. Low resistance is especially  
important if the length of cable from amplifier to  
speaker exceeds 5m. Your local Bowers & Wilkins  
retailer will be able to offer advice on speaker cable  
selection if required.  
4.1 Using the supplied cut-out template, mark a  
cut line on the existing ceiling. Check the cut line  
defines the correct diameter. Cut along the line with  
an appropriate tool to create a round aperture in the  
ceiling.  
Ensure that the four QuickDog™ (spring clamps) are  
rotated so that they will pass through the aperture  
then lift the frame up so that the flange is flush on the  
ceiling. Take care that the cable is not trapped. Now  
reach inside the aperture with one hand, rotate the  
QuickDogs™ outwards and, using two fingers and  
thumb, pull each QuickDog™ downwards so that the  
frame is fixed securely. The diagram above illustrates  
insertion of the frame.  
4.3 Now connect the speaker cable to the spring  
terminals on the side of the frame. Ensure that the  
speaker connection polarity is correct: the cable  
connected to the positive terminal on the amplifier  
should be connected to the red spring terminal on the  
frame. Similarly, the cable connected to the negative  
terminal on the amplifier should be connected to the  
black spring terminal on the frame. The diagram above  
illustrates cable connection.  
Note: Ensure that there is enough free space  
internally adjacent to the aperture for the spring  
clamps.  
Note: To reduce the possibility of the ceiling buzzing  
or rattling, adhesive mastic can be applied between  
the studs and sheetrock in the vicinity of the  
speaker aperture.  
Note: To release a QuickDog™ push the metal tab,  
located just below the finger platform, upwards.  
When connecting a CCM664SR or CCM663SR in  
surround mode, simply connect the speaker cable to  
either the left or right set of terminals. Please ensure  
that the switch on the back is set to surround.  
4.2 If speaker cable is already present in the ceiling  
space, pull the cable down through the aperture. If  
speaker cables are not already installed this should be  
done at this stage. It is likely that you will need to gain  
access through the floor above to route the cables  
through the ceiling space.  
Note: If an amplifier is already connected to the  
cable it should be switched off while connections  
are being made to the frame.  
Leave enough spare cable through the aperture to  
ease connection to the speaker back box, but not so  
much that it is likely to buzz or rattle when pushed  
back up into the ceiling space. Approximately 1.0m  
(3 ft) is appropriate.

4.5 If the frame flange is to be painted it should be  
done at this stage. Any conventional, domestic paint  
may be applied by brushing, rolling or spraying. Use  
the supplied paint mask to avoid getting paint in the  
cavity. Painting without using the paint mask risks  
contamination of the internal connection terminals or  
the grille attachment magnets. The diagram above  
illustrates painting using the paint mask.  
4.6 The baffle can now be fitted into the frame. Ensure  
that the connector on the baffle is oriented correctly  
with the connector in the frame. The baffle is held in  
the frame by three push-lock fasteners. Push-lock  
fasteners are secured by pushing the head inwards –  
either with a thumb or a screwdriver. As they secure,  
the fasteners will click. The baffle will then be secure in  
the frame. The diagram above illustrates inserting the  
baffle and securing the push-lock fasteners.  
Note: If the grille is to be painted this should be  
done “off-line” before it is fitted.  
Note: Push-lock fasteners are released by turning  
anticlockwise with a screwdriver.  
Note: The bezel is loosely fitted to the frame when  
the speaker is shipped and can come away during  
handling. This is not a problem as the bezel is held  
in position when the QuickDogs™ are secured.

4.7 The tweeter can be tilted towards the listening  
position and corresponding equalisation options  
selected on some CCM6 Series models. The options  
are listed in the following table:  
4.8 The grille can now be fitted. The grille is held in  
place magnetically so simply needs to be aligned with  
the groove in the frame flange where it will click into  
place. The diagram above illustrates fitting the grille.

To tilt the tweeter simply hold it in one hand (taking  
care not to touch the dome) and angle it towards the  
listening position. Tilt angle indicators at 15° and 30°  
are provided, indicated by the dots on the tweeter  
body. The dots also correspond to the three way  
equalisation switch settings. Match the switch setting  
to the number of tilt dots. The diagram above illustrates  
tilting the tweeter and selecting equalisation settings.
