CD M 1
Stand-mount/Boo kshelf loudspeaker system
Product Summary
Designed for shelf or stand, the compact dimensions of the CDM 1 give no clue to the
enormity of the studio-quality sound which it is capable of producing. This was
acknowledged by the fact that not long after the launch the Eisa Association awarded the
CDM 1 the European Loudspeaker of the Year.
Braced cabinet construction dramatically reduces cabinet resonance by adding the twin
virtues of strength and rigidity to the cabinet walls. Gold-plated terminals permit bi-wiring or
bi-amplification.

Kevlar®: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar® for
loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally
created Kevlar® for use in bulletproof vests.
B&W's Tweeter on top technology ensures that the sound remains focused
and time-sensitive and that the stereo image is presented with unparalleled
three dimensional accuracy.
