Bowers & Wilkins CT7.3 LCRS Custom Theatre Speaker
Bowers & Wilkins CT7.3 LCRS is a passive custom-theatre cabinet loudspeaker for planned left, centre, right or surround channel use. Its three-way design uses 25mm cloth dome, 150mm aramid FST midrange and two 200mm paper/aramid bass drivers. Why Choose Bowers & Wilkins CT7.3 LCRS? Select CT7.3 LCRS around the theatre layout, cabinet space and suitable receiver or power-amplifier channels. The CT range is designed for integrated theatre positioning, but a cabinet speaker does not automatically provide the frame and mounting arrangement of a flush architectural in-wall model. The three-way driver layout should be preserved when comparing it with the other CT7 model: CT7.3 has a dedicated FST midrange, whereas CT7.4 uses bass/midrange drivers. Check the actual support and acoustic opening before enclosing the speaker in furniture or behind a screen. Key Features – Custom-theatre role: planned LCR or surround channel. – Three-way driver layout: model-specific frequency duties. – Passive cabinet design: external amplification required. – Installation planning: suitable support and acoustic clearance. Best Suited For
Stereo music listening and appropriately planned home-cinema channels using a suitable external amplifier. Choose speaker positions around the main listening seat, usable floor space and furniture. A loudspeaker is one part of the system: the source, amplifier and room influence the result, while secure placement helps maintain a consistent listening arrangement. Setup and Connection Guide
Switch the amplifier off before connecting suitable speaker cable and maintain matching positive and negative polarity at both ends. Follow the exact terminal and link instructions, especially where bi-wiring connections are provided. Position the speakers on stable support, allow the recommended cabinet clearance and start with a balanced distance from the listening seat. Test familiar music quietly, then adjust spacing and angle in small steps. In a receiver-based system, assign channels and run the supported calibration before checking crossover and playback levels. Frequently Asked Questions
Is CT7.3 LCRS automatically a flush in-wall speaker with a mounting frame? No. It is a custom-theatre cabinet loudspeaker. Its planned enclosure, support and acoustic clearance must be designed for the model. Do not substitute an unrelated architectural-speaker cutting template or assume a flush mounting frame is included. Can these speakers play music directly from a phone without an amplifier? These are passive loudspeakers. A phone supplies a source signal, while an appropriate amplifier provides the power for the speaker terminals. Add compatible source equipment for Bluetooth or network music rather than assuming those functions are built into the cabinet. Does the amplifier recommendation mean that much power is always used? No. It is a matching guideline under the manufacturer’s stated conditions. Actual output varies with the signal and listening level. Check the amplifier’s load capability and avoid clipping; a higher numerical rating alone does not establish a safe or useful pairing. Technical Specifications Specification
