Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Bowers and Wilkins Custom Theatre system. Since its foundation in 1966, the continuing philosophy of B&W has been the quest for perfect sound reproduction.

The Concept The CT 800 range comprises five products: CT8 LR A 3-way speaker intended for front left and right channels, one placed in vertical orientation at each side of the screen. CT8 DS A full range surround speaker that may operate in either 2-way dipole or 3-way monopole mode. CT8 CC A 3-way centre channel speaker that is acoustically similar to the CT8 LR, but designed with a more symmetrical drive unit layout so that it may be used in horizontal orientation immediately above or bel

Although the speakers are semi-active and require an active crossover, all power amplification must be separately sourced. Each CT8 LR, CT8 CC and CT8 DS requires two channels of power amplification, or three if used with a CT8 SW subwoofer. This allows the user maximum flexibility in choosing these components. The CT8 SW subwoofer, unlike the majority of subwoofers currently available, does not contain its own power amplifier and is used in a different manner than is usual. The original concept

Surround speaker dispersion mode Figure 1 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure font: Helv 45, 7pt Surround speakers generally fall into two main types – those that one might describe as ‘normal’ speakers - so- Figure spacing: 7 x 7 mm called monopoles, where the sound comes from a set of drive units mounted on the front of the enclosure - and those that give a more diffuse sound field, such as dipoles.

Description of Controls Figure 19 Description of controls LF Contour The unit features a comprehensive set of controls to tune the performance of each speaker according to the conditions of use. The response may be shaped by a combination of three parametric equalisers, each having a level range of +4.5 / -12 dB, and low- and high-frequency contour controls, the effects of which are illustrated in figure 19. In addition, level controls are provided to compensate for any differences in gain bet
