Welcome to Bowers & Wilkins and CDA-16

Thank you for choosing Bowers & Wilkins. When John Bowers first
established our company, he did so in the belief that imaginative design,
innovative engineering and advanced technology were keys that could unlock
the enjoyment of audio in the home. His belief is one that we continue to share
and inspires every product we design, tailored for new audio experiences outside
of the home.

Our CDA-16 distribution power amplifier can drive any Bowers & Wilkins custom
installation speaker to new heights of performance. Offering 16 channels of
power, the CDA-16 can enable your whole home with sound yet takes up
minimal space thanks to its compact 1U design. Its configurable specification
supports bridging of its Class D stereo channels into even more powerful mono
outputs, if needed.
