The IW Five/S is designed to accurately reproduce music, including today's demanding digital signals. In-wall speakers are designed so that the wall and the space behind it actually become the speaker cabinet. Mounted flush to the wall, they require absolutely no floor space. The frames and grilles may be painted to blend with any decor. The discrete, compact format is ideal for many applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible. In-wall speakers may be used independently where space is a consideration, or to bring music to additional rooms in the house. They can also be used to enhance and enrich subwoofer and surround sound systems, for which they are especially suited.

Speaker Placement

Once installed, in-wall speakers are not easily moved or repositioned. Take a little extra time to carefully consider a good speaker loca- tion before you begin. Each room is unique, so decide what works best for you. Unlike traditional speakers, in-walls mount flush and cannot be angled or aimed back into the listening area from the corners of a room. As a general rule, the speakers should be mounted close to, or above, ear level, and at least one-third of the distance from the corner of the room to the center of the wall or ceiling in which you will mount them.

Allow at least 11⁄2" of clearance between the cut out and any studs or joists for the mounting hardware to work properly. A mounting depth of 3" measured from the face of the wall is also required. The speaker location and associated mounting hardware should not conflict with any existing wires or pipes.
