Bowers & Wilkins The CT8 DS is a dedicated surround speaker, that provides the option for users to select either dipole or monopole options depending on the type of room in which it is used.
To generate an authentically three-dimensional listening experience, the CT8 DS surround speaker handles both dipole and monopole surround dispersion. Along with a forward-facing Kevlar ® FSTTM midrange and metal-dome high-frequency drivers, the CT8 DS also carries side-facing Kevlar ® midrange/high frequency drivers.
