B&W CDS6 S3 adjustable dipole/monopole surround speakers (Display)

Selling a pair of Display B&W CDS6 S3 2-way in-wall adjustable Dipole/Monopole Surround Speakers. Finish: White

These speakers have NEVER been used or mounted onto the wall.
After the pictures were taken, the speakers were put back inside their B&W box.





The CDS6 S3 is a dedicated surround speaker and is an in-wall version of the on-wall DS6 S3.

You could also turn it into a DS6 S3 by making a wooden box/cabinet and place the CDS6 S3 onto the cabinet. Any furniture shop carpenter can make the wooden box/cabinet for the speakers for around RM200 - RM250.
If interested, I could also arrange for the manufacture of the cabinets. Then you don't have to mount the CDS6 S3 rear speakers in-wall (inside the wall). Meaning that you can just mount them anywhere on-wall for the rear surround sound effect in a Home Theatre system.





Surround speakers generally fall into two main types – those that one might describe as 'normal' speakers - so-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. Each type has its advantages.

Most multi-channel music is recorded with home entertainment in mind and is monitored using two, three or four monopole surround speakers. This enables good location of side and rear images.

Conversely, most films are originally balanced for cinemas, where
a large number of speakers spread around the auditorium are used to create the surround sound field. With more surround speakers than discrete channels of information, a less precise image is created that gives an all-enveloping effect. Dipoles, rather than monopoles are better at recreating this type of sound field in the home, while using fewer speakers to do it. Dipoles do not image as precisely as monopoles, but they make it easier to balance the whole system for a larger listening area.

The CDS6 S3 offers a choice of both monopole and dipole operation, so you may choose whichever type of operation best suits the conditions of the listening room, the size of audience and the type of programme being played. Indeed, you may use different modes for side and rear speakers, or change the characteristic for different types of programme.
The CDS6 S3, with its swing-out clamps, is easy to install in either new construction or retrofit situations and gives minimal intrusion into the living space.
